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?

    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!

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

    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.

    Love the shoes! Yes, the time change sucks, but I am happy to have it lighter later in the evenings again:)

    You look like you're having lots of fun on your run! I do hate the time change but appreciate the longer days!

    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! :-)

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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. :-)

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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