Happy Wednesday morning to you! It is rainy and chilly here in Dallas but I am up and the gear is in drive! Last night I went for a 5 mile run in my new Nike Free winter trainers and I absolutely loved them.
Pink shoelaces light up the night!
I have tried them in the gym and felt like they didn’t give me as much side to side movement but provide me plenty of bounce outside. So outside is where they belong. I think I’ll take these babies for a spin this weekend for my Jog’r Egg Nog’r 15K race. Can I just say how excited I am about this one? Spiked egg nog anyone? No? Too early for such talk?
At the race last year...happily jogging along...

Speaking of races…my proofs came in for the Deck the Trails race…I look angry intense in half of the photos so I’ll spare you the details and just show you one.
finish straight ahead!
I squeezed in an early morning spin class since I have another gift exchange party to attend tonight. This time it’s a purse party w/ coworkers. My gift is all wrapped and ready to go…I bet you can’t guess what kind of purse it is…evening bag, maybe? Louis Vuitton? Hmm…
So anyway…back to spin class…I tried a new girl’s spin class this morning at 24 Hour Fitness. I liked this class because it starts a little bit later (5:45 as opposed to my usual 5:30 one) so it gave me a little more time to hit the weight machines first. The teacher was really energetic and motivating. She played pretty good music, just typical top 40 hits type of songs. It was warm in the aerobics room though so by the end I was sweating tons! Overall it was a good class…I give It 4 out of 5 gingerbread cookies this morning.
After class I went and grabbed some Tazo Joy tea from Starbucks…just perfect for a rainy day like today! Since I got up so early I made sure to get myself a Venti and I think they made it extra strong because it has 2 teabags in it instead of one. So I’ll be sipping on this all morning while I listen to Christmas music and write promos. Yummy!
So, it has been a little while but I am still loving me some Pinterest. Since I’m feeling extra motivational here are some fitness-related things that have caught my eye (since it’s the holidays, I know we could all use some extra motivation)
What are some motivating words that get you up and moving?
You do look fierce in that race pic Lady! I like it!
And nothing is better than some Tazo on a rainy day….it’s pouring her in Michigan too and I think I will fire up that tea pot of mine.
