Albion Fit Giveaway (Yes, I'm still alive)

This post is waaaaay overdue. Not just because it has been too long since my last post (dang life getting in the way of blogging), but because I have something exciting to share.

And if you know my blog at all, exciting = giveaway.

I was contacted by Albion Fit, a woman's fitness line, to test out, review and give away their GO Long Crew (with thumb holes!).

I chose to try it in the rust color, which was more orange than I expected. But the color has grown on me. I love the length, and it is soooo soft.

The first time I wore it, I just hung out in it all morning. I got a size small, and it fits just right.

The second time I tested it out, I wore it running. It isn't very attractive covered in sweat and probably won't be added to the running clothes rotation. But...
 
 
 
...the next time I wore it to do yoga. And it was perfect. I hate being cold when I do yoga, but I also don't like to get too warm, so this was the perfect shirt. It is lightweight enough to keep me from getting too hot, but the long sleeves kept me from freezing until I warmed up, and the thumbholes kept it in place.

I love it. And with the price at just $28 I might have to get another one or two. You can get it in several different colors and with or without ($24) thumbholes. Since I've finally given in to wearing leggings that aren't just meant for running, these shirts are perfect.

The Go Long Crew is just one of the awesome things you can get from Albion Fit. I can't wait to try out the Match Point Pleat Skirt (I love ruffles!) and The Love Racer (looks perfect for summer running). If you are lucky enough to live in Utah, you can visit the new Albion store that is opening next month at City Creek Center in Salt Lake City.

If you aren't in Utah, be sure to check out all the cute fitness and swimwear online. And enter my giveaway for a Go Long Crew of your own, and you will be emailed a coupon code for $15 off $50 or more between now and March 13.

  24. They have a lot of cute things. I think right now, I'm really into hoodies and long sleeves, so I'd have to go with the signature hoodie, probably in heather grey, but I like the silver and belize blue too... maybe one of each? Ha!

Carpet Burn On My Butt (and a giveaway)

After two lame, pathetic, lackluster weeks of running, I woke up excited to run yesterday. And today, I wore my running clothes all morning in anticipation of my nap time run today. Even in spite of sore glutes and tired quads from getting in some P90X Core Synergistics last night, I couldn't wait to get moving on Millie. I am a planner. Today I had a plan to get my run in while my girls slept, and my day was organized accordingly. I am also a creature of habit. The first thing I do when I roll out of bed every single day is make my bed and my girls' beds. If I do something else first, it throws off the entire morning. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my running routines as well. There are a few things that differ depending on whether I am running on Millie or outside, whether my girls are asleep or not, and whether or not they are joining me in the jogger. Yet, no matter when, where, how far or with whom I run, some things are always the same. My hair goes into a pony

I wasn't sure going in...

Yep, I'm checking in. Why? Because I did something completely out of my comfort zone that I wanted to share with you. Last week I went to a place near Salt Lake called Dexa Body, where I got a DEXA Scan. For those unfamiliar with what that is, I asked Google to help us out:  "Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry  ( DXA , previously  DEXA ) is a means of measuring  bone mineral density  (BMD). Two  X-ray  beams, with different  energy levels , are aimed at the patient's  bones . When  soft tissue   absorption is subtracted out, the  bone mineral density  (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely used and most thoroughly studied bone density measurement technology." Since that is pretty medical sounding, here's my take. A DEXA Scan is a tool to measure your total body composition. It specifically breaks down the regional composition of your lean and fat tissue. It gives a fat distribution

Social Media: Some good, a lot of bad, and way too much ugly

There are a lot of good things that come from social media. We can connect with people we have lost touch with. We can unite as a group (runners!!) with a comment interest. We can promote a good cause. Sadly though, what social media does best is makes us feel bad about ourselves and makes us feel negatively towards others. This isn't just my opinion, although I can unquestionably support the truth behind this based on my own experience. I have spent way too much time feeling bad about myself as a result of comparing myself to others based on their Instagram or Facebook versions of themselves. And there are several people I have started feeling negatively about or have become completely annoyed with because of their IG and FB posts. It isn't just me though. There are actual studies that can back me up on the negative impact social media can have. I have read dozens of articles reviewing many different studies that show the overwhelmingly negative (vs. positive) effec
