All I Want For Christmas...

In case any of you out there are last minute Christmas shoppers like myself.

I mean, no, that wasn't me you saw out at the mall this morning at 8am...  Must have been my evil twin.

Or in case the big Santa man is still listening, I have put together a list of things I wouldn't mind seeing under my tree this Christmas.

I mean, I already have my two front teeth and a hippopotamus wouldn't fit well in my apartment, so a girl has to come up with some other suggestions.

XRACEWEAR Review!

If you've ever run a race of any kind, you know one of the biggest hassles can be putting on your bib.

I'm anal retentive about mine.  Making sure it's pinned on straight, that the safety pins aren't going to rip holes in my shirts and shorts, trying to avoid stabbing myself...

Ya know, the usual.

So when I found out about XRACEWEAR's line of shorts, tanks, and tees designed to help me avoid all that I was pretty excited.   Their whole motto is #nosafetypins.

Plus, once I got into running Obstacle Course Races (OCR) I kept coming across people who had lost their bibs in the mud, crawling through obstacles.  I mean, bonus for me, because those lost bibs had drink tickets attached to them...  (Word to the wise, ALWAYS grab extra bibs.  Seriously.  Free drinks guys.  GENIUS.)  But that definitely had to suck for the person who lost their bib.  Not only did they lose out on their free beer, but also the opportunity for pictures, since most races tag photos based on your bib number.

Not to mention all those lost safety pins in the mud, stabbing you as you try to army crawl under thousands of feet of barbed wire.  OUCH!

Running Gear Review - Underpants Edition

This COULD be my review of the Cupid's Undie Run, a unique one to one and a half mile run through your city in an effort to raise money for The Children's Tumor Foundation.

It could be an eloquent discussion on body image, conquering fears, and challenging your conceptions.

Or, it could be a post entirely about my hunt for the perfect underwear to run in.

With no intention of wearing pants over said underwear.  Oh goodness.

So one of the local running stores that I found, I apparently found a little too late. 

The store is called Run Franklin and unfortunately they're going out of business.  Bummer, but...  it does mean discounted shoe prices!

Please, ignore the dirty mirrors.  I left streaks when I wiped them down the other day.  I'm a minor failure at day-to-day housework.

Disregard that black cat.  They're bad luck?  Oops.  I own two.  This is not the point.

The point is the excitement, as evidenced by the rampant Miley Cyrus tongue I'm sporting.

And that excitement is because...  Drumroll please...

#NoSafetyPins

So when I first started getting into the whole "twitter thing" (or as I like to call it, "the twitter"), what I really found fascinating was how much information there was out there on all these great different companies and products.

And one of the companies I cam across was X Racewear.  They had a unique product that, as someone who really enjoys obstacle course racing and mud runs (because, YES, they are different!) I thought was a genius idea.  their whole deal is they make clothes for running that have a special pocket designed to hold your race bib.  This way you don't have to worry about getting stabbed by a safety pin or losing your bib out on the course.

It was one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" kind of things.

Anyways, I promise you, I'm gonna go a full write up on BOTH the tank and the shorts that I have from them, because  they're fab and fit PERFECT... 

But for now do me two favors:

1) Check out their website to see all their sweet gear.

2) Click on the link below to vote for them to win on of six small business grants so they can continue to grow and develop great new products for those of us in the running community!

All I Want For Christmas...

Mariah Carey's iconic "All I Want For Christmas" may be the title of this post, but it definitely runs more along along the lines of my personal all-time favorite Christmas Song, "Santa Baby."

You choose.  Eartha Kitt, Marilyn Monroe, or Bettie Boop.  All good.

And this was a pretty good year for me, running wise.

Next year I could be just as good, if you'll check off my Christmas list...   Boo doo bee doop!
