The Friday Five

1. I bought a New Balance Ice Graphic Tunic at the Boston Expo. I have worn it so much that I went ahead and ordered it in another color. (They run big. I wear an XS and it’s still loose.)

2. Mantra Bands. I LOVE these bracelets. Obviously, I’m partial to the Choose Joy, but they have so many wonderful options!!

3. R8 Roll Recovery. After numerous recommendations, I finally bought an R8 Roller. It’s so nice not having to contort my body to try and foam roll areas like my inner thighs. Plus, it’s actually small enough to pack in my suitcase when I travel for destination races!

4. Amphipod Hydraform Jett-Lite Thermal Running Water Bottle 20oz. Amphipod has redesigned their handhelds and with some terrific updates. I especially like that they replaced the pop top with a Jett Squeeze cap. It’s easy to drink on the run and so much easier to clean.

5. Friday feel good…Senior Class Donates $8000 to Principal Battling Cancer

Happy Friday and Choose Joy!

The Friday Five

1. When I was in LA, I ate my weight in acai and pitaya bowls. When I got home, I did a little research and placed an order with Pitaya Plus. Here is my first attempt. It was SO good!

They arrive frozen in single serving packs…just blend and add toppings.

2. I realized this week, that I have been buying Aloha Orchid candles for at least 10 years. It’s safe to say that I love this scent of orchids, jasmine, and gardenia.

And, now you can buy them in beautiful mercury glass.

3. I just finished reading The Girl on the Train. When there’s a lot of hype around a book I get nervous to read it, but I loved it!

4. The Kinvara 5 was my favorite shoe ever. Thankfully the Saucony Kinvara 6 is just as awesome!

5. Garmin announced their new Forerunner 225. It has all of the great features of their other GPS watches, plus a built heart rate monitor (no more chest strap!) and activity tracking (steps, calories, sleep, vibration alert when you’ve been sitting for too long). They’re taking pre-orders right now. Click HERE to read a thorough review.
