The Friday Five

1.  Apple iWatch. I know it doesn’t have GPS.  I know it won’t replace my Garmin.  I know it’s still 5 months away.  It still looks so cool and I can’t wait to buy one!

2.  Major Girl Crush…Vogue did an interview with Christy Turlington Burns about running the Chicago Marathon.  She is running to raise awareness for her non-profit Every Mother Counts.  She has also partnered with my favorite running brand, Oiselle to create apparel for EMC.  Guess who else is running Chicago?  Me!  Do you think she wants to run with me and become friends?!!  Read the article HERE.

3.  Every night before bed, I drink a cup of chamomile tea to unwind and I have a new favorite from Dean & Deluca.  It’s a sweet and floral herbal tea made from chamomile flowers harvested in the winter months in Egypt.  Basically…it’s really good.

4.  The sun is rising a little later and setting a little earlier.  It’s so important to run with a Road ID!  (Coupon Code Below)

I prefer the Shoe ID.  The Shoe ID is a lightweight, Velcro walking or running ID. In fact, it’s great to wear anytime and is a popular ID for kids. Includes a 3M reflective strip for high visibility. Peace of mind is standard and the ID plate is interchangeable with the Wrist ID Sport. Go!

The Friday Five

1.  I did an easy 7 miler this morning and discovered a “new to me” station on iHeartRadio…Spin Cycle.  It’s Pop Music Club Remixes and they’re all perfect uptempo’s for running.

2.  Breakfast for lunch!  I usually eat a salad for lunch, but I wanted something a little heartier for tomorrow’s long run.  As my friends will attest, I have a true love for oatmeal…especially these steel-cut oats!

3.  Dr. Seuss must have seen the elevation chart for tomorrow’s 20 miler!

4.  Salad and Veggie Burger at J’s.  It’s tried and true before a long run.  BUT…the secret is the Cornbread Croutons!!!  They aren’t on the menu, but if you ask your server, they’ll make them for you.  Do it.  Now.  Seriously.
