How About A Giveaway Today?

 

It was beautiful out yesterday.

Everything about my run was terrific and the weather was just an added bonus.

I did my best to focus on running rather than allow my mind to wander and it worked out rather nicely for me. I was able to achieve negative splits as well as the quick paces I was looking for leaving me happy and high on endorphins for the rest of the day.

Since I was on an endorphin high into the afternoon and because it was still beautiful out, I offered to have a catch outside with my son.

He told me it isn’t cool to have a catch outside with your mother and turned me down.

I don’t understand. Aren’t I cool? I mean, he isn’t even aware of all of the haters I have in our community based upon my interactions lately on the running path so why would he be embarrassed by me?

It isn’t my fault that the dog walkers in my community choose to walk their dogs without a leash while I am running. In fact, it is against community policy and if they want to ignore the letters regarding said policy, it is my job to remind them bright and early while they are still in pajamas.

Anyway, since you know me so well by now, would you mind talking to my crazy side for a minute?

I know these are the exact same sneakers. I realize I bought the new pair because I felt the old pair had seen their last run.

But. Lately I feel as though I like the old pair better. Originally I was alternating the two pairs to break the new pair in slowly.

Something with the new pair isn’t right. They are terrific, don’t get me wrong although I keep going back to the old pair instead.

Please don’t ask me what the exact problem is; I don’t know where I feel the issue I just know there is one. Maybe.

Luckily I won’t have to deal with the issue (that’s probably in my head) today since I will be wearing my sneakers-reserved-for-crosstraining-day.

 

Ohhh, you like my Foot Notes, do you? Why thank you.

What do you think of my new bracelet?

Kind of cool, yes?

Both the sneaker charms and the bracelet are made by Momentum, a company that offers hand-crafted, workout-friendly jewelry for fitness-focused individuals.

As part of my ambassadorship with Girls Gone Sporty, I jumped at the chance to see these adorable pieces and host a giveaway where one of will receive a Motivate Wrap bracelet!

I have been wearing the bracelet basically every single day since I received it and just love it. Like for real, love it.

 

It is so soft, doesn’t leave a mark on your arm and is so comfortable that you forget it is there.

The bracelets are available in a variety of colors along with a variety of cute and inspirational sayings to choose from. The Foot Notes are available as single charms or coordinating pairs.

Now, you may wonder why I put the foot charms on my nonrunnable shoes. The Saucony’s are in fact running shoes- I just don’t like running in them hence the term “nonrunnable”. Don’t ask me why, it’s another one of those things I can’t explain just know to be the case.

Truth: I was afraid to mess with the laces in my Adidas sneakers in order to properly place the charms.

It is super easy to thread on but I really didn’t need anything else in my mind as to why I may not be liking my sneakers. Just the thought of lacing my running shoes wrong and feeling another problem with my feet sends me back to the sneaker store for a new pair/counseling session with the sneaker store employee.

Motivate Wrap Giveaway:

One reader will be randomly chosen from the comments on today’s post to receive one Motivate Wrap in the color/saying of their choice.
