1. Stir crazy, that is how I feel right now. In the last 10 days I have ran 4 miles. I did two of those yesterday. I am trying to remind myself of the big picture and scaring myself by imagining never runner again usually helps. The two miles felt good and I considered going 4, but in the end decided I better just take it easy. which in my book equals boring when I am doing it day after day!
2. Okay, lets get away from running talk. I have been doing the Under Armour What's Beautiful (I am sponsored by Under Armour for this competition) and found this page which has great videos of some awesome training moves like walking planks, pistols, pushup jacks and so many more moves that I love and want to try. So if you are looking for a challenge, new moves etc I say check it out!
3. Sometimes I can't help myself. I see new flavors of Chapstick I have never tried before and I have to have them. Cotton candy Chapstick!! Yum, it was in a three pack with grape and fruit punch. Grape is also yum, fruit punch is so so. I always have loved the mint and strawberry.
The strawberry reminds me of being a kid and the plain reminds me of my Dad since he always seemed to have it in his pocked when I was growing up. Not so long ago I also won these two awesome flavors from Kiley, plus apple.
My husband really liked the apple and I ended up buying more in a three pack. I think I have 6 Chapsticks in my purse right now and several in my makeup bag. YUM. Not a sponsored post I just noticed I had a lot of Chapstick and since I am not running I don't have much to talk about.
Two miles would make me feel like it wasn't even worth getting changed. I'm going to be in the same boat next week, too. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteOh Christy!! I hope you are feeling better soon...I know how it feels to have your brain wanting to do one thing and your body allowing you to do another! I will have to check out that site this afternoon! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI love ChapStick too so I like this post! My favorite is the ChapStick with Moisturizer and SPF 15. I love the Cake Batter one too. I like the flavor every once in a whole but really prefer the plain one. I know that not being able to run is tough but you have to be smart and do the right thing. I know you will but you have to tell yourself these words when you are tempted. Been there...done that! Take Care.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love chapstick too! I love all things shiny and glossy. :-)
ReplyDeleteCOTTON CANDY?!!! I need to go find some. Chapstick is my favorite too, I have all those except the cotton candy. I agree with fruit punch being so so. Not their best.
ReplyDeleteHaha, can a girl ever have enough lip balms? My question--why do the many I have all over the place run out at the exact same time?
ReplyDeleteI want those limited edition ChapSticks! I am a ChapStick hound...always have some on me.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy healing to you!
I love watching those UA videos! I am using some of those moves in my bootcamp this weekend!
ReplyDeleteVELVET CUPCAKE CHAPSTICK????
ReplyDeleteWhat.
Smart call on the 2 miles!
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not a chapstick gal, I love reading about your collection. Does that make me a chapstick voyeur? :)
LOVE Chapstick too! I bought a peppermint stick flavor at Christmas! So yummy! :0) Glad you are taking it easy, I know it's hard but it's worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteListen to Sandy
ReplyDeleteShe is right
I am with you
Sisterhood of no running sucks
We will get through this
You love fun flavored chap sticks :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I've been really not running much at all, it's so weird, but I know it's just a wave in the cycle.
I'd love to try the cupcake one. But I might end up craving cupcakes all day.. that wouldn't be great.
ReplyDeletePlain Chapstick reminds me of my dad too. Such a simple thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your injury. I know how frustrating that can be. I love chapstick too!! I have the cupcake one and I think it is my favorite but want to try that cotton candy one now.
ReplyDeleteLOL on the chapstick. I always just buy the plain no flavor. If I go flavor I find myself licking it off...and I don't think that's the point :)
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for Very Inspiring Blog Award! http://rushingherd.blogspot.com/2013/05/very-inspiring-blogger-award-and-half.html
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a chapstick FOOL! He can't go anywhere with out! I never use it though
ReplyDeleteOMG I have never seen those chaptick flavors, yummy!!! I will have to try to find them and try them out!
