I got some great new workout gear from Fitbloggin’. I was definitely not expecting such fabulous (and plentiful!) swag!
On Sunday I didn’t have a run scheduled, but I did work out on the Wii. I’m almost done with the six-week challenge on EA Sports Active “More Workouts.” I should probably review that at some point, I’m really enjoying it!)
Anyway … all of my workout clothes are currently in a giant pile waiting to be put away/sorted now that it’s spring, so it was easier to just dip into my still-unpacked swag bag!
I looked a little too ‘just rolled out of bed’ here and had to crop out my head! Now if only I could crop out my ugly kitchen floor …
Shirt: thriv
Super soft and comfortable! I wandered around the house a bit post-workout and it seemed to dry quickly, too. I can’t wait to take it out on a run!
Shorts and socks: New Balance
The socks were OK, a little baggy since I’m on the small end of the size range. I’m hoping they’ll be better after I wash them.
The shorts were comfortable. They seem a little short … but I’m not really used to shorts anymore. I haven’t run in shorts for a couple years now — I’m more of a skirt girl! But I do plan on giving these a shot. They’ve very light so it might be a good option on those really hot, muggy days we have in our future!
One of the biggest surprises were the free shoes from New Balance. I thought we were just going to get to try a pair for the 5K!
New Balance 704.
I’m kind of bummed the original pair I got didn’t fit — they were purple!
But I guess I’d rather have shoes that fit well …
I really liked them during the Fitbloggin’ 5K — and I’m pretty picky about my shoes. I can’t wait to take them out again. Tonight there was rain in the forecast, so I decided to wear an already-dirty pair for our hill repeats. I like to let the new ones break in first before they get trashed!
Fortunately, no rain tonight, but I didn’t have time to change my shoes. Next time!
Seven hill repeats tonight — 200 meters up a bridge. My goal pace is 63 seconds, and once again I managed to beat my goal!
- 52
- 59
- 55
- 58
- 56
- 55
- 54
I started out WAY too fast! But it worked out OK, I was still able to complete all of my repeats faster than scheduled!
Don’t you just love that thriv shirt! I only wish I could have gotten a small, all they had was a medium for me 🙁 My shorts fit, but are way shorter than what I’m used to. My husband likes them though 😉
It’s awesome! When I got there Friday night they had small shirts in pink only … I guess they ran out before you got there. Maybe it will shrink? (I usually don’t dry my running clothes but I will if it’s too big. Sometimes it helps!)
Super cute t-shirt!
I’m very jealous about the free NBs! My running shoes are NBs 769s and I love them. They look quite similar to those actually.
