Friday Favorites

What a week…..personally it sucked

Physically the 1/2 marathon wiped me out….by Tuesday my left shin was killing me and working out pretty much came to a halt. I have been unable to do anything this whole week, I was going to restart the 10 Pound Slimdown Xtreme but I couldn’t because weight bearing on my left leg pretty much killed. Today is the first day it is actually feeling better so I am hoping by Monday I will be able to workout.

Personally I had some issues too and I really needed to run but couldn’t. I will clue you in on some of the personal issues next week but for now I need to keep it on the down low. It’s been stressful and I have wanted to run but couldn’t so writing about it helps a little…more to come next week.

Now on to my favorite things this week:

Sparkle Skirts: I wrote about the new running skirt I had purchased at the Divas 1/2 marathon expo but left out the name because on race day I found a rip in one of the pockets and although I absolutely loved the skirt I hadn’t contacted the company yet to see how they would rectify this issue. I have been in contact the company and they are going to fix the skirt plus give me a gift certificate toward my next purchase…problem solved = satisfied customer!! This by far the best running skirt I have worn and I have 2 others by 2 different companies. Not only does this skirt have a huge pocket in front (which fits a phone plus more, I ran with my phone in it), it also had a pocket on each leg for GU or money or whatever you desire. The best part is that the shorts under the skirt does not ride up at all…..it stays perfectly in place. So be sure and check out these great skirts!!! It’s funny that my friend Crystal and I actually bought the same skirt at the expo but I was there at 10 am and didn’t speak to her until after she went in the afternoon…great minds think alike!!!

Yo Crunch Yogurt Parfait: I received some free coupons to try out this product and it rocked!!!!! I loved the taste and the crunchiness that the granola added. For 100 calories a pop this product is worth a try…..I had strawberry which was great but I will definitely be trying their other flavors!!! A great breakfast or snack!!
