How many masks do you have? I would venture to guess that over the past 14 months or so, most of us have gone from zero to more than a handful. I know that in my house of 5, there are multiple masks for each person in the cars, in the house, running bags, in purses, etc. Hopefully with vaccines currently in motion, these won’t be needed as long term, but it’s still probably necessary…
It’s been almost a month since we first started sleeping on a Purple Mattress. You may recall that, at the time, I was tired of being tired (and sore) from an old spring bed that was first purchased three presidential terms ago. It was high time to listen to not only my own body, but to the many articles and posts out there about runners needing good sleep to optimize their performance – and just…
Masks are obviously something we are familiar with right now in the current state of affairs. While masks are a relatively simple premise and design, companies are definitely looking to come up with something new – something different – to stand out in keeping us safe in public settings. One recent mask we came across, and were sent a sample to review, is the Slapmask. As anyone growing up in the 90’s can attest to…
I know I don’t need to beat a dead horse, but 2020 sucked. I am going to take a little different track with this review however, as coming across and trying out Thousand helmets directly came from the pandemic itself. One of the things that I, like many people, were forced to figure out in 2020 was how to workout appropriately. While running outside was, and is, still appropriate (assuming it’s not crammed on roads…
How many masks do you have? I would venture to guess that over the past 10 months or so, most of us have gone from zero to more than a handful. I know that in my house of 5, there are multiple masks for each person in the cars, in the house, in purses, etc. Hopefully with vaccines on the horizon, these won’t be needed as long term, but it’s still probably necessary a while…
These days, when you are out and about, you are likely to carry your phone with you. Depending on how long you’ll be away from the power grid, you may worry about your phone running out of battery, and then you won’t even be able to use it as an emergency flashlight anymore! The ToughTested XIP 3300MAH Sport Utility Powerbank and LED Tube solves those problems. This compact power bank will fully recharge most phones…
I used to never run with sunglasses. Maybe it was due to never finding a pair that I liked? Or the fact, that it was one more thing to remember in the morning, before heading out to run. It was not until recently (over the summer), that I started trying different sunglasses out. Every time I put on a pair of sunglasses, I had a massive headache. This was extremely uncomfortable during any run duration.…
“Recovery.” This is a word I’ve used for most of my adult life, especially in coaching others. But honestly I’ve always done a really bad job of actually embracing recovery myself because I never allowed enough time for it. After I turned 40, things began to change and I could see how much harder an active lifestyle was on my body. Something that was easier 10 years ago was suddenly (very) painfully obviously not so…
Even when I’m not working out multiple times per day during this COVID-19 quarantine, I end up with a lot of dirty workout clothes at the end of the day. And, not to brag, but I would be willing to bet mine are much grosser than the average person. So, in a completely disgusting way, I…win(?). I also think Nathan Power Wash Performance Detergent Capsules are a winner. I like to limit my impact on…
Tile recently sent us one of their newest products – the Slim. It provides a simple task – letting you know where you left your stuff – but there is some really cool technology to it. I don’t know exactly what it is, but a combo of a real job, blog “job”, and three kids to look after potentially makes my brain focus on important things and less so on remembering where I put my keys…
