Game Changers

Things they are a changing. Or I'm finding cool new (old) stuff that is awesome. 

Pickybars.

WHAT! These are amazeballs… And I am not just saying that because my old high school teammate Anna, works for them now. Or that their sweatshirt is one of the comfiest I own, or that I now have a pint glass from them. WHAT WHATTTTT!

DELICIOUS. They don’t sit in my stomach like a rock, so for those early morning runs (which admittedly, it has been a lil’ bit) they are nice quick go-to before the workout. A cool review is in the works. Just saying, be on the lookout home-skillets. 

Oiselle.

Holy crap, female runner friends. Screw it. ANY OF MY FEMALE FRIENDS WHO LIKE NICE THINGS. Which, is every one of you. Share with you wives, girlfriends, family members, males. This is on you.

Quality materials, comfortable, non-chafing, stylish. Right now, I have mainly worn my clothes for fashion related events, or daily wear. (I snorted when I said “fashion related.” I mean really??? Me??) But I love it. It completes my outfit, and who does not like my new bird/feather print obsession. Look out world. And what they have done for not only women's running and athletics, but our running world in general, truly astounding. Attention is drawn and we are on the forefront of some amazing stuff. Cannot wait. Reviews to follow. :)

Reading.

A classic and old stand-by. But I have found a new passion for it since I have seen my writing improve. You may not notice, but word-choice has now been a more thought provoking act as I sit down and muster out some semblance of words that mya or may not make sense to the great masses that flock to my blog I am sure. J Oh happy day! See what I did there?

My new friends.  And old ones too. Just my friends in general.

Well by now they are no longer new. Recently a discussion was had how weare no longer in the “Honeymoon Period” and are now able to act as if we have been around each other for years. But are still constantly learning and growing from one another, gaining new knowledge of one another everyday.

And people who are willing to wake up at five in the morning to run. Not even wake up at five, actually RUN at five. They are my friends. I am SO LUCKY to have them.

And everyone I was able to reconnect with this short vacation home. I wish there was more time. Or two of me.

Yoga.

Again another stand-by, but I have decided to become more active and committed to it. In past years I noticed an improvement in my lifestyle and in my running when I was regularly practicing. So bring it on twentyfourteen.

My newly founded because really I had to gluten free lifestyle, while moving more vegan too.

Yup. Gluten makes my tummy hurt. And it doesn’t make others around me very happy when I am grumpy and bloaty. Nope. Not really. I get flu-like symptoms and achey bones. And even this Christmas couldn’t eat dinner because I had “poisoned” myself earlier in the week from eating some gluten.  I MISSED CHRISTMAS DINNER GUYS! GAH!

But I feel better when I am not eating it. So that’s good. And I like vegetables. But I really like cheese, so that’s what is holding me back. Maybe one day. And then that turns into one day a week. And from there is a Vegan-ado.

Goals.

When I first moved to Spokane, I had a lot of goals and aspirations. And then after my first year, I kind of let them all slip aside. And now, new, refreshed and ready to tackle anything, I wrote them out. And I have to look at them daily. So here we go.

What’s your plan for the year?
