LARABAR Giveaway Winner!

Alright...I'll be honest. If I could figure out a way to pick myself for this giveaway I would. Larabars just make me so happy. Lucky for you all, I can't pick myself, and hubs didn't enter, so one of you gets to win. Between comment entries and a few more on Facebook, we have a total of 263 entries. Put that into Random.org, and the winner is....


And comment 189 belongs to...Britt at Chicago Runner Girl!


Congrats Britt! If you have never checked out her blog before...be prepared to be impressed. Nothing major, just 5ks in 19:26 and other leisurely jogs like that. Seriously, I promise her blog will inspire you. She is an amazing runner!

If you didn't win this one, don't despair! I've got another giveaway coming up soon. Just reviewing it first so you can all see how wonderful it is.

Question: what would you like to see a giveaway for? Obviously this is geared toward running/fitness/healthy eating, but are there other items you would be interested in?
In case anyone is wondering, I would like an elliptical trainer. You should probably give one away on your blog so I can win, thanks.

  1. Congrats to Britt!! Checking out her blog now... though with a leisurely 5k time of <20 min, I might go eat a bowl of ice cream instead.

  4. Another giveaway I didn't win. I'm off to go cry. I'd like to win a lifetime supply of wine. Or a plumber to come to my house and make my pipes give me COLD water so I can take proper ice baths. Actually I'm dying to try real compression tights. I also like the ones for different kinds of Gus so I can see what else is out there. Or a race entry sounds great!

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful...

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou...

Active Bands Review and Giveaway

Click this link at your own risk, but let it suffice to say that I have some wild hair. No, not a couple of curls. A wild, beastly tangle that is NOT allowed out on its own. Ever. So running is a challenge. A ponytail is a given...and then usually a bun. I tried a few different headbands in the past, but they all end up "sweating off" and either annoying me completely or just falling onto the floor. Enter Active Bands. I wish there was some kind of heavenly gate chimes or something to accompany this post. I feel that strongly. I know there are a few "running" bands specifically designed to keep your hair in place, and I can't speak for them all because I haven't tried them all, but of every one I have put to the test, Active Bands are the only ones that work. I read about them so much on blogs that I bought my own to try out several months ago. I purchased two, and then basically alternated them day in and day out. You probably recognize them (black and...
