I did some fun shopping today. Cameron got me a gift card to Dicks for Christmas, so I got some really cute Under Armour capri’s:
They are SO comfortable and cute. I love them! I also got my first running skirt by Skirt Sports today! Sole Sports in Tempe was having a 30% off sale for the rest of the stuff they had from the RNRAZ expo last weekend. Here I am in a medium (I actually ended up getting a small, because the girls said it looked better on me):
I also got a really cute bright pink short sleeved technical tee from Skirt Sports 50% off! I love sales 🙂
I ran (with a few too many walk breaks) about 3 miles today. The roads by our house almost all have some sort of incline. I really struggle with hills, so I didn’t exactly have a fantastic run today. It’s better than nothing, though! I made a fruit plate with some almond butter for after my run:
SO good, and healthy, too. I also try to drink some sort of recovery drink after I workout-here is what I have been using:
I would love to hear what kinds of recovery products you guys use after you run. Leave a comment below!
Then, I got to work cleaning the floors
I also organized my dirty laundry today. Isn’t that exciting? It’s actually a really nice laundry organizer. I am separating work clothes, workout clothes, lounging around and sleeping clothes, and socks and underwear into each section. I figured it would make putting clothes away much easier. I’m really good at washing and drying the clothes, but I struggle with the whole folding them and putting them away part :-P.
Ali is such a little ham 🙂
“Daddy’s outside, and I want my food!!!”
Have a great weekend and Happy Trails!!
I noticed your cute outfit today! Love it!! I wish I knew about the sale!!!
Every single instructor I had last semester, whether it was for Nutrition or Exercise Science, said that actually a glass of chocolate milk is the perfect recovery drink. Milk and chocolate provide the perfect amount of glucose and protein. All of those expensive sport recovery drinks are just profit gimmicks.
I bought reduced fat organic chocolate milk just for after workout revovery! I wasn’t sure if that was all I should drink, or not. Good to know! Did they suggest how much to drink? Some of the bloggers I follow are affiliated with Rockin’ Refuel, which is a chocolate milk recovery thing. Too cool!
Just looked into the Rockn’ Refuel thing. That is too funny. Very nice. Here’s an article I found from webmd:

My unerstanding was that ‘a glass’ of chocolate milk within half hour of work out was sufficient for improved recovery, but this article says it all. Hope it helps!
I had one as a snack tonight, in fact. I got a case of them at Costco. In my post from a couple of days ago, I put a link to the nutritional info for the kind that I bought. I think the Rockin Refuel milk is fortified with even more protein than regular milk. I’ll have to check that out, though. Thanks for the link!
I heart Ali and you’re cute new workout clothes too. I appreciate a good sale and you really nailed it! Nice job!
Thanks so much! I had fun shopping 🙂
I totally love your pants! I typically order mine from Nike or get them from TJ max.
Nice shirt too but I like mine baggy.
I used to like mine kinda loose like yoga or dance pants, but not since I started running/ I really don’t mind them tighter now. I reallt need to get to a TJ Maxx around here. All I hear about is how good their sales are! I just don’t know where there is one close to Ahwatukee….I’ll have to do some research.
