The Friday Five

1.  Saucony Kinvara 5 Kona Edition.  If you’ve read my blog before, you know my love for the Saucony Kinvara 5.  I got an email yesterday, that Saucony was going to sell a limited amount of the Kona to us mere mortals.  I ordered a pair immediately!

2.  Garden of Eatin’ Sweet Potato Corn Tortilla Chips.  Salty/sweet perfection.  I’m not a ‘chips person’ and I am addicted to these!  Like…it’s a dangerous to keep them in the house.  I crushed them up and put them on my Tortilla Soup early this week.

3.  This video.

4.  I know Fall is here, because I’ve been buying way too many long sleeves.

Lole Glory Top.  I bought one in charcoal at Fleet Feet.  I love the material and that the cut is long enough to cover my bum in tights.

I Run This Body Hoodie.  I LOVE this mantra!

Run Far Girl.  I ordered the gray hoodie.  The Run Far Girl donates the profits to the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

Every Mother Counts.  I love a zip up hoodie!

Oiselle is proud to be the official athletic apparel sponsor of Team Every Mother Counts, founded by Christy Turlington Burns. Join us in supporting maternal health, 40% of collection proceeds go directly to EMC.

5.  The movie poster for Wild was released this week.  I LOVE the book (one of my favorites ever!) and was thrilled when I read that Reese Witherspoon is starring in the movie.  It premiers December 5th!

The Friday Five

1.  Girl crush alert: Reese Witherspoon bought a fixer upper in Nashville.  Maybe we can be friends?  Check out the Variety article to view the slideshow of her new home.

2.  I ran 7 sweaty miles this morning before leaving for the Stage Race. Best part…I found $10 laying in the middle of the road during my run.

 

3.  Hotel Rant: I love a well appointed hotel room, but this mirror is the devil. I never want to see my pores so closely. The cherry on top…they also had a scale in the bathroom. I believe it was a conspiracy to make me book a facial and bodywrap in the spa.

 

4.  J Crew for David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Sweatshirt.  I have sponsored an elephant through the DSWT for the last few years and was so excited to see them partner with J Crew.  100% of the proceeds will be given to the charity!!!

 

5.  B.K.S. Iyengar, an Indian guru that helped popularize yoga in the West, passed away at age 95.  He wrote one of my favorite books “Light On Yoga.”  As a runner stillness is difficult for me.  He helped to calm my mind and my body.  Here are a few of my favorite Iyengar quotes:

***I am running in the Cumberland Plateau Stage Race this weekend. We have zero cell/internet service. If I’m slow to reply…that’s why:)

Do you practice yoga?
