Sunday, a Day to Relax? Nope!

Today I plan on getting out for a nice long run, and I also want to go to the gym to weight train. I just know that I feel best about myself when I am on top of my fitness routine. I hate it when I don't run for a week or two, or I miss the gym for four or five days. Thankfully the sun is shining and It looks like a perfect cool day to get my sweat on.

I also have tried both of my new running shoes that my lovely mom was sweet enough to treat me to. So I have these cool New Balance shoes  and these Purple Asics. After a month of wearing both of them I can now recommend which is the better shoe for running (my opinion). I would definitely recommend the blue New Balance shoes which I talked about in this post. They did not need time for me to work them in, they have a wide foot which I needed, there is super support in the ankle area, and there is not one bad thing I can say about them. My Purple Asics feel nice, but don't feel like they were made for me like the other pair feel. I can't wait to run in the New Balance pair just because I know my feet and legs won't hurt after. Do you run? What is your favorite shoes for running?

In my last post I mentioned that I will be posting an item in my Sale of the Week section in my Etsy shop LOVE n LAVISH. I hope my regular shoppers will enjoy this new weekly sale and I think its something fun for shopper to check in on. This week I have added my popular Arrowhead necklace as the item of the week. There are a few colors to pick from and you can also choose to wear it on a short or long chain. 

Have a great weekend!

Running this Spring

I love when it actually seems like spring is going to appear. Our winter has been long and cold, and I think I have felt a bit depressed during the month of February and a bit of March because of it, because I couldn't exercise and I was munching away on crap and gaining a bit of weight. I'm definitely not concerned about a few pounds, but I worked out hard last Summer and Fall and I didn't want to loose that flow. Its been really rough wanting to do something I really enjoy, but not being able to due to the horrible weather. I also find the treadmill really boring and different to run on.

A week or two ago my mom, who is very thoughtful and generous, bought me two pairs of really awesome running shoes. The first pair are these awesome blue New Balance shoes.  What I love about them is that I did not have to work them in. They are incredibly supportive and comfortable, which is something I need since I have wide feet that don't like the feel of a lot of shoes. The color combo isn't bad, I'm just not use to this new trend of super colorful shoes, but I look forward to running many miles in them.

I also tried on these Asics and I really liked them too, so we couldn't resist and I got them as well as a gift. The color are just as funky and I think these will be my gym shoes for the moment. I am not sure if they are as comfortable since we ordered them and I haven't run in them yet. The summer that past I bought two new running tank tops that match my new running shoes to the T, and I didn't know this until I got home and was getting ready to go to the gym. It's funny how you can be drawn to certain colors.

 Which color combination do you like best?

I hope to really enjoy April and plan on picking a lot of flowers for my resin jewelry spring/summer collection!
