Weekend wrapup and new shoes!


I had some pretty great running weather this weekend.  Saturday was a little windy, but Sunday was perfect.  Even though the thermometer said it was only 32 degrees, the sun was shining and it felt great to be out in a skirt. 


and I got to try out my new Pure Flow 2 shoes.  They were pretty great,  I kind of think I like my Pure Flow originals better though.  I have only run in them twice so I can't make a judgement yet.  I do like the improvements they made attaching the tongue of the shoe so it stays put better and the ergonomic lacing.

I do find the look of the first version more appealing. 

My daughter was thrilled when she saw my new shoes in the box..so pink!

 I also stocked up on some Nuun and Honey Stingers.  Citrus Fruits and Strawberry Lemonade are my favorite flavors and I have been wanting to try Lemon Tea and Kona Cola.
 
Saturday I did my 10k for Team Gabby virtual run, although I forgot I had to have it submitted..yesterday.  So I guess I am a day late, but I was out there running for you Gabby!  Kick cancer in the can!
 
Yup, my weekend was pretty quiet. 
 Other than running we had some 4-H stuff, laundry, cleaning, and lots of kid time!
 
6 days until I am toeing the line at my next half marathon.  YAY! 
 
Do you hate the time change as much as I do?

  1. I think that the people who decided on the whole time change thing did most definitely NOT have children! Hate it but I do like the extra sun at night! We had great weather here too...amazing how warm 40 can feel when the sun is finally out!

  2. Sounds like a great weekend! Love the new shoes! :0) I'm definitely not a fan of losing an hour of sleep.

  3. I love your pink Brooks! I bought a pair of Pure Cadence Brooks over the weekend and so far, so good. I like how the tongue is on the shoe too!

    The time change kinda messed me up. I woke up Sunday morning and couldn't believe how much I had slept in! I had literally 45 minutes to get across town to swim practice. Talk about frenzy.

  6. The time change just about killed me this morning! Citrus Fruit & Strawberry Lemonade are also my favorites, so curious how you liked the Cola & Tea. I'm always looking for new flavors.

    Yeah for lots of kid time over the weekend! :-)

  7. I'm really interested to hear what you think of the new flow's after some time in them - I've probably got 150ish miles left in the last pair of the old version I have :(.

    It's totally not too late!! Thanks for running the virtual race!!

  8. I hate daylight savings time so much I moved to a state without it ;-)
    Glad you got some good weather and a great run in this weekend!
    Good luck on the half!

    Glad to hear your new brooks are good, I'm a new brooks convert and think I love mine...

    Yay for our half marathons this weekend!!! :)

  10. Time change is the stupidest thing ever. It doesn't change when the sun comes up, it just destroys my natural clock and takes 2 weeks until I feel adjusted! UGH.
    I'm sure you'll do great at your half. Have fun!

  11. Really love those shoes! They are on my "shoe list" right now. I think that color is pretty spectacular. Totally not liking the time change right now. It is kicking my booty. Thankfully I didn't have to work today. :-)

  12. I've only done one run so far in the new shoes so far but I didn't really notice much different. The new design makes my feet look a little funky! Good luck with the race.

  13. Sweet shoes! Man, out in a skirt in 32 degrees? You're brave!

  14. I like those flashy shoes. I'm with you on the time change. Something about the fact that the alarm clock says 5:30am but my body says 4:30am.....just not cool.

  15. Your new shoes are so bright but I love them! Cola looks like he is having a blast rolling around in that picture. Shoot, I forgot to submit my time for Team Gab too.

  16. I love my bright & obnoxious pink pure flows too! Those green socks are the bomb too!

  17. Forget the pink, I'm loving the GREEN!
