Gear

Sometimes you hear people, both runners and non-runners, say that running is the cheapest hobby you can have because all you need is a pair of running shoes, and sometimes not even that if you are a barefoot runner. While it’s true that other sports and hobbies require a lot more gear than what a […]

Are you looking for a holiday gift for someone you love or for yourself? Maybe a skin care product that will make your skin glow and help with dryness during the winter? Some facial creams sound plain magical and promises to make you look like you are 15 years younger with flawless plump skin. It […]

This is a big deal. You don’t want to be distracted by uncomfortable, chafing underwear that ride up when you run. You might have heard that cotton is the best material for women. It’s supposed to aid the PH balance in your vagina whereas other materials disrupt it and might cause irritation and even yeast […]

I’ve had an interesting learning experience the last few months. I’ve been running in Altra Torin’s for years and I love them. But I had heard so many good things about the Altra Escalante that I really wanted to try them. It seems that everyone is talking about this shoe and it has been rated […]

I might wear one that’s black and thin and one striped blue and green in a thicker material and a different length than the other. […]

A good running bra is important especially if you have large breasts. You’ll want comfort and support so that you can run without thinking about it, and without painful bouncing. I have tried several and have found that racer back bras are usually too tight and constrictive and makes it harder to breathe. I want […]

Altra Torin 3.0 Review. 3.0 come in grey, blue and pink as well as a specialty black NYC version. I choose the blue ones. I personally don’t like pink so I’m glad that they added more colors. At first I thought they looked small and even though I tried them on at Jack Rabbit I […]

  You probably already know that I love to bike in hilly places. Titusville, NJ is perfect for it, and lucky for me I have a wonderful sister in law that lives on top of the hill on Pleasant Valley Rd. No matter where I bike, I have to get back up there. I had […]
