Night Runner 270° Shoe Lights – A KickStarter

Comments 0 Comment

As someone who runs in the early hours of the morning (and with a husband who runs in the late hours at night), this product caught my fancy! I love the idea and you know that this “christmas tree” will be getting one when they come out. “Night Runner’s back-facing distinctive red taillights are attention-grabbing to instantly alert motorists of your location. Each unit fastens securely to shoelaces via a stable, multi-position adjustable bracket. The lights are housed in a…

AMRAP Nutrition Bar: Review and Giveaway

Comments 5 comments

The following post is sponsored by Sweatpink on behalf of AMRAP.  All opinions are my own. I was not compensated monetarily for this blog post. Being a busy working athlete, I’m always on the lookout for easy to carry nutrition that I can eat on the go and that can stay at the bottom of my purse until the day I am hungrily digging through it frantically. And bars are an essential part of my repertoire. I stash a variety…

  As part of the FitApproach and VegaSport collaboration, I was sent a box of Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator to try.

This is what the Vega Sport website has to say about their recovery accelerator  – “The first all-natural, plant-based recovery drink mix specifically developed to address all six key elements of post-workout recovery: muscle glycogen…

My journey into running started rather abruptly – a spur of the moment decision took me from being a couch potato to a half marathon runner in a matter of months.  In the early days, all I knew was I had to run and I had to “stretch” after the run. Inspite of this “stretching”, I had “issues” every time I crossed mile 9-10. On recommendation from my local running store, I went to see a sports chiropractor who introduced…

Mother’s Day Picks for the Mother Runner

Mother’s Day Picks for the Mother Runner

Comments 0 Comment

As a runner (and sometimes wannabe triathlete), I always hope for gifts that are running related. After all, our lives as a mother and runner is so intertwined. Why not get something that I’m going to use, and that will put a smile on my face every time I use it? And although my husband refuses to buy me anything more running related, my kids know that I appreciate my running gear more than jewelry and that I value a…

4year Runniversary Giveway

Comments 41 comments

On Christmas Ev, 4 years ago, I took my first running steps out of fear that I would not be able to complete my first race – a half marathon 12 weeks away. At the same time, I started this blog to document my thoughts. Never did I think that those first steps would stay with me and carry me to 4 years. Running and me have had our ups and downs, but after the first year, it has been…
