Keep on Truckin’! I say that because this item up for review is a Territory Run Co. Trucker hat – specifically the Loowit. There are a couple different styles and colors of to choose from, but all are very light weight and flexible, something that roped me in from the start. As I expected the Loowit is extremely lightweight – quite possibly the lightest trucker hat I’ve ever owned. I just love this feature because I am planning…
It has been 39 days since we started this journey together…39 days of crazy weather, holiday parties, quality time with family and friends, longer days at work in preparation for the new year and food, a lot of gloriously decadent food. I would venture to say that your past 39 days were quite similar to mine?! At the beginning of the streak I was motivated and excited. I mean, really, how hard is getting in a…
Nothing can derail your running like pain in your feet. I know from experience. We recently stumbled upon eNZees, a New Zealand company (hence the “NZ) which is 100% sheep wool designed to prevent blisters and hotspots naturally. This is something that all people who enjoy the outdoors (hikers, runners, walkers, etc) can take advantage of. So how did this product come to be? My husband and I are avid hikers back home in Durango,…
Run Oregon sometimes receives products to review. Here are our impressions of Endorphin Warrior and hydraAROMATHERAPY. Endorphin Warriors Training Bracelet (Teresa) I’m a sucker for mantras and inspirational quotes. I know I annoy each and every one of my Facebook friends with my ‘motivational’ rhetoric and my family gets equally annoyed with my ‘uplifting’ artwork in every room. Even knowing that, I can’t control myself. I’m obsessed with the power of positive thinking in pretty much everything,…
Happy 2nd Birthday to Us! 2 years ago, we decided to venture out on our own – into a scary blogging world full of website lingo, social media accounts, and the relative unknown.

Keeping fit is essential for millions worldwide. It’s good for your body and mind. Any activity, including running, can lighten your wallet as well as the pounds. If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. There’s no benefit from going for your morning run wearing flip-flops, a Christmas sweater and some old baggy jeans- even if it is cold enough to see your breath. Proper running gear allows you to improve and excel. Ask…
Now that the heat is starting to come on with more frequency here in the Pacific Northwest, that means one thing – Spartan season! While there are a myriad of Spartan Races across the country, there are at least three here within close proximity. From Boise in June (which Annette previewed here), to Breckenridge and Seattle, to the Pacific NW competition in Washougal, there are plenty of opportunities to compete. And now, you have the…
Wednesday evening I set foot for the first time in a Title Nine store. Shopping for myself is probably the last thing I do and getting fitted for a bra is not high on my list of priorities. It should be. Ladies, with the demands that may bog you down in life, take some time to put yourself first now and then head over to your nearest Title Nine location to go get fitted for…
