Merry Marathoner's Christmas Day 9

If you're anything like me you're always checking the news updates on the latest and greatest technologies for runners and triathlons alike. There are many different types of sport watches out there ranging from $30-$700 but I have my eye on one fitness band called the Microsoft band which is currently unavailable otherwise I would buy one because I'm very excited about it and the other is the Garmin 920 XT which is basically on my dream list because by the time you get the watch and the heart rate monitor and any other accessories you're looking at about $700 for the whole thing. But in the meantime I know almost all of us have cell phones and cell phones actually have gotten really good about their GPS apps for running that you can download for free. I prefer map my run and I hear really good things about run keeper as well. And of course if you're using your phone to run then you're gonna need a place to put it! And that brings me to the Merry Marathoner's Christmas Day 9 Christmas gift. An armband for your phone, now most of us have one of these lying around somewhere, I personally have two but ironically I hardly ever listen to music on my phone when I run which is why bought it originally. Now I mostly just use it for GPS tracking. And is a great temporary solution until I can get one of those watches that I've been dreaming about, the same thing for Anthony, he wants a Microsoft band which also has GPS tracking for daily life and for running.
This is the armband that I bought Anthony it's nothing fancy just the basic running armband but I made sure to get one that is a little bit more water resistance than others because we do live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot. I just wanted to make sure that his phone would be protected. But a little trick I found is to put my phone in the armband underneath my running slick it makes it hard to get to during a run but it will  keep your phone nice safe and dry. 
Merry Christmas and Keep on Running!

High Nuun All Day!

As in wearing Nuun all day! I was really excited to be able to try my very first Nuun tablet today, I got my water in my water bottle and dropped in my tablet and closed it… Big mistake! My water bottle has a straw in it. There are no warning labels on the Nuun containers but maybe there should be. Why? Because I opened the tab on my water bottle after it finished dissolving and it exploded like a geyser all over me! So I was completely covered in Nuun  while at work... not fun.  If you haven't heard about Nuun , you are probably wondering what it is! What is Nuun ?  Nuun   is an electrolyte tab that helps you "one up" your water to make a healthy, fruit flavored drink. Unlike most sports or electrolyte drinks it has no sugar, is under 8 calories and only equipped with the essential electrolytes and vitamins your body needs to replenish after activity.  The tubes are small and will fit perfectly in any purse/bag/briefcase, etc. They are eco-friendly and TSA approve

That's right, I said it. And you know it's true. Today I thought I'd share with you a few memes that make me laugh.  This one is huge for me! Every time I see someone actively working out at the gym that is over weight I want to go up and give them a high five and say they are awesome.  Enough said! How I feel after long runs. Yeeps! The best one yet!  To have the enthusiasm of this girl! I hope you all enjoyed and at least giggled once or twice, yes, giggled!  Keep on running!
