5 on Friday: Running

Friday, March 07, 2014

I am linking up with Christina over at Carolina Charm today for Five on Friday!



One

Netflix!  This has seriously saved my life while trying to get my runs in on the treadmill.  I am not sure why I cannot get lost in music while running inside....but I am always checking the time. Surely it has not only been 45 seconds since the last time I checked!  House of Cards has been keeping me distracted while I have been getting in my mileage.  I think I subconsciously know that I need to get almost to the end of an episode before I am even close. Not to mention the crazy amount of drama going on in the show that keeps me focused. 



Two

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 shoes. I am VERY flat footed and running can really cause my arches and the outsides of my feet to hurt.  Since buying these shoes I have had very little issues.  They are so supportive and feel lightweight at the same time.  I don't find that going for longer distances seem to hurt as much as they did before, and I 100% believe it is because of wearing such great shoes. 



Three

Paleo has made such a huge difference in the way I feel.  Honestly, the better I eat the better I feel which translates into a much better run. If only the wine wouldn't call my name so often.



Four

Cute running clothes are my goal.  I have seen some really fun running capris that I cannot wait to get.  Only 15 more pounds and I will reach my first goal and reward....if I catch the sale just right I might even be able to squeeze in a cute top to go with them.



Five

Having a partner and motivator is honestly the best thing to keep you going.  I know that if I don't show up and run she is going to know I wasn't there. On days that I think there is no way I am going to be able to do this distance she is right there to encourage me and tell me I can.  Even though we don't even come close to running the same distances or the same speed, it helps to know she is right there along with me!

5 on Friday : Top Beauty Products

This week I thought I would share the top 5 beauty products I am loving. If you want to join in on the fun grab the link and post with us.


So, here is what is on my top 5 list right now:

One
Suave Dry Shampoo- Seriously the best dry shampoo I have tried so far. I have tried name brand, cheap, expensive, and everything in between. It smells great and works wonders.  You can't beat the price either!


Two
CeraVe Lotion- I cannot go a day without using this moisturizer. It is lightweight but really keeps my skin hydrated. It has a controlled release so it lasts all day without getting greasy.  With my sensitive skin I have to be really careful about what I put on my face....this lotion has been magic.


Three
MAC Viva Glam IV Lipglass- I am OBSESSED with this lipgloss.  It is the perfect shade and works on any skin tone.  When I need just a little something this is the one I reach for. The tube lasts forever and never gets gloppy. Not sure if that is even a word but you get what I mean. =)

So today I am linking up with Darci from the good life blog.  If you don't follow her blog, I would highly recommend it...she is funny and always has some amazing resources for mommas.




One
I feel like we live in Seattle. It has seriously rained every day for the last week.  It doesn't really show any signs soon of stopping either.  Now as much as I am loving the fact that my grass is super green (as well as all the neighbors who usually don't water in the summer), I am starting to be over what all this humidity is doing to my hair! I have wavy hair...not the cute I can wear it wet wave, the I look like I just didn't brush my hair kinda wave. With all of this humidity it has been frizz city.  I need some summer sun please...even if it is for a few days, to get this hair under control.


Two
Spin class....I HATE you and LOVE you all at the same time. We made the plunge this week and took a spin class on Tuesday.  I literally could not walk normal for two days. Not to mention the awkwardness that happens when you can't quite sit down or get up when going to the bathroom. Um ya that was me for a good two days.  We went back on Thursday and as much as my bottom hurt from Tuesdays class....the results were much better today in the realm of sore muscles.  I think we probably sweated enough to fill the outside pool, and we probably looked ridiculous, but it was definitely the best cardio workout we have had in a while. I think we are going to try and stick to it for a while and go back on Thursdays....wish us and our poor legs and bottoms luck!
