Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Homemade Dark Chocolate Granola Bark

Non-food Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
all things compression!


For those who have these or similar, I'd love to hear your experience from wearing them on long runs.  My longest with them is 15 and I am considering wearing them on the 50k.  Your thoughts?


Which Outfit did I Wear the Most:
I must admit that this is only because it's hanging in the laundry room from being washed so I simply don't get something new.  But I do really like it's brightness!



What We Are Watching: Karate Kid 2010 (which should be Kung Fu Kid)
 
Funniest Kid Quote:  LBM has the bad habit of playing really hard as it hitting everyone and everything with toys.  I have been working on getting him to understand that it is not okay to hurt others.  Spanking and "the corner" just doesn't seem to sink in for LBM.  Following another episode of hitting ME, I pretending to cry and tell LBM that he had hurt me.  His solution, simply:
"...sawrey momma.  Heres ban'aid. (smooch on my leg where he hit me)  You all bettra' now.  See? No bled.  Go play." 
Hummm.  Who's the mommy?

 

Current Triumph:  Building more kid active playtime into our daily routine.

 

Current Goals
Personal:  To shut up and listen more
Running/Fitness: Prepare for my March Ultras (first on this Saturday!)

Current Blessing: Army son will be home in a few weeks

Current Excitement: I am # 62 on the wait list for The Bull Run Run 50 miler Lottery

Current Concern:  Being # 62 on the wait list for The Bull Run Run 50 miler Lottery

 

How did your February days add up?

  4. Homemade Dark Chocolate Granola Bark sounds yummy, I can see how it could become a Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure. That quote from LBM is so funny...sounds like you taught him well!

  9. I wore capri compression tights when I did my marathon and had no problems with them. I really think they helped hold tired old legs together and kept them going.

  12. Thanks for your note! I'm just on the other side of the state from you :) I did my first trail ultra last year and instantly fell in love. I'm pretty focused on adventure racing right now, but can't wait to tackle more ultras in the next couple years. I've looked at the Bull Run Run a couple times, and have heard great things about it. Here's hoping that 62 slots out is enough to get you in!
