Happy weekend everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday. I know I am! I can’t believe the weather we have here but I am NOT complaining AT ALL! It’s about 5°C, the sun is shining and there is hardly any snow. If this is any indication with how the rest of the winter will be, I like it! I had a great 13.88km run this morning. I ran a completely different route as I am at my parents house. I got some good hills in too and it felt great. My legs were a little tired but considering that I haven’t been running that often lately, I was happy with my run.

Remember how indecisive I was about trying to decide if I should run this race again? Well on January 1st, I made my decision and REGISTERED! So it looks like I will be running Around The Bay again. I wanted to register so I could just stop thinking about it. I didn’t feel pressured and thought if for whatever reason I can’t run it, I can always sell my bib. With that being said, I’m definitely excited to have something to work towards and challenge myself with. I want to have fun with my training and not put a lot of pressure on myself. I also would like to continue strength training.. but we’ll see how that goes.

A few weeks ago I was on a rant about the price difference on running gear between the States and Canada… Well, I ordered the Mizuno Wave Rider 15’s and the Sugoi Subzero Zap tights and had it sent to my friends house in Florida. I picked up the package the other day once she got home and I am sooo happy with the products!

I have wanted a bright pair of shoes for so long now and I’m excited to be running in Mizuno’s again. I haven’t broken them in yet, but I’ll keep you posted :) I wore them yesterday when I worked out on the spin bike (at 4 freaking 30 in the morning) and they felt great.

I wore the tights on my run this morning. They are warm and so comfortable. In fact, I’m still wearing them (too much info? my bad). My only complaint is that they sag a little in the crotch area but it’s manageable. Anyways, I’m so thankful my friend helped me out with bringing my goodies back to Canada for me because I saved over $100.00 ordering them from Running Warehouse.

Well I’m off to get ready to go and see my girls tonight. We are having our annual potluck Christmas dinner.. a little late but I’m excited to see them and for us all to be together because it doesn’t happen very often.

What was your workout today?!
What shoes are you running/working out in right now?
