Winter Running-

winter running|loving|cold|friends|MRTT

The past two winters I was injured and unable to run at all during the winter months. I don’t care how cold it is this year, I am running and I am loving it. You may heard we are expecting a blizzard of sorts today and I bought these Yaxtrax last year and never had the chance to use them. I can’t wait to break them out and see what the buzz is all about. Can you really run with these things on? Like a kid on Christmas morning I can’t wait to play with them. Find your pair here (affiliate link).

Hot Yoga-

hot yoga|Core Power|loving lately

I go through phases of yoga and no yoga. I forget how much I love it and how amazing I feel afterwards. Hot yoga is my favorite type and what a great compliment to winter running right? I just bought a ten pack so now I have to go back! Right now I am loving Core Power-ever been?

My New Hair Cut

While everyone else was out stocking up on toilet paper and milk I was getting a new cut and color. Gotta look cute in those snow pics right?

Aurorae Towels-

Araorae towel|swimming|yoga|reveiw|loving lately

I was given this great Aurorae swim towel to review last month and I’ve been taking it along to swim class ever since. Firstly, it’s huge! When I walk from the locker room to the pool area it’s quite chilly and I love that it wraps all the way around me to keep me warm and covered. Bonus that the colors are great and match all of my swim suits-ah the important things! They are super absorbent and I will for sure be getting a few more of them in some other colors. They also make yoga towels. You can find them here (affiliate link).

The new Skirt Sports spring line-

The new Spring Line for Skirt Sports is just beginning to roll out. As an ambassador I get a sneak peek and I am in love with all the new bright patterns. I can’t wait to get my hands on these because can you really ever have too many workout clothes? Ok don’t answer that. Check out their new styles and feel free to use my ambassador 20% discount code (CMR20).

I usually get into a funk in January with the cold temps and shorter days but right now, I am feeling pretty good hope it lasts!

    What about your new hair cut? It is gorgeous!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 9:40 am

      I wrote it in advance but great idea thanks! I just added it in you are so sweet!

    I have always wanted to try the hot yoga out. Now that it is cold out that may be nice. I don’t even know any studios around me that offer it. I will have to look into it.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 9:44 am

      I really like the combination of running and hot yoga and find it really opens up my hips for a great stretch. Let me know if you give it a try

  3. Jennifer @ Running on Lentils says

    01/22/2016 at 10:02 am

    I LOVE your new cut and color! I’m curious to see what you think of the YakTrax. Last winter I run in the trail version of my regular shoes, and they were awesome. But my size is no longer available, so I need another option. Good luck with the blizzard this weekend!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 10:04 am

      I am really excited to try them out! I will let you know

    I love yoga but not hot yoga….warm yoga in mid 80’s is great, but when the room is 90 and above I want to pass out. Haircut looks great!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 10:38 am

      I felt like that at first but I love the feeling of the warmth in the winter.

  5. Chaitali says

    01/22/2016 at 10:41 am

    I love yr hair, it looks great! I’m going to try to get in more yoga this weekend since I can do it inside in the warmth 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:09 pm

      I know I am hoping that it is not closed all weekend with the snow

  6. Nicole @ Fitful Focus says

    01/22/2016 at 11:00 am

    I LOVE you’re hair cut! Hot mama!! I am going to look into those yaxtrax, especially with the storm we’re supposed to get this weekend! I’m loving my paleo diet so far (thank goodness!) and the fact that it’s Friday :).

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:17 pm

      Ah Thanks yes should be quite the interesting weekend with all this snow!

  7. Julie @ Running in a Skirt says

    01/22/2016 at 11:20 am

    Love your new hair! You have a great stylist!
    I’m so impressed by your winter running– you are tougher than I am. Stay warm in all this snow!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:17 pm

      Ah thanks friend! For now I am really enjoying it

  8. AJ @ NutriFitMama says

    01/22/2016 at 12:24 pm

    Your hair looks AWESOME! Love it! Let me know how those Yaktrax work- when we move to Michigan I might have to look into those LOL!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:24 pm

      Thanks and yes I am excited to check them out!

  9. Sharon says

    01/22/2016 at 12:31 pm

    Love your new hair cut! Living out west now, I’m a bit jealous of the snow excitement. Have fun in the snow and stay warm!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:25 pm

      It just started snowing this is huge for us here we don’t get snow like this!

  10. Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says

    01/22/2016 at 12:35 pm

    Love the new hair, looks great!!!!
    I am normally the same way, I love running and playing in the snow. Each snow storm or blizzard here, just makes people want to get out and play:)
    Hope you get some awesome winter snow running in, especially since you’ve had a couple years without it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:32 pm

      I know I am so excited about it!

  11. Tamieka@fitballingrunningmom says

    01/22/2016 at 12:45 pm

    Love love your cut and color!

    Look at the size of that towel! I want one!

    I have been in a running funk but looking forward to some cold winter running for sure!!

    Stay warm and safe this weekend.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:41 pm

      Thanks and yes the towel is awesome check it out!

  12. MCM Mama Runs says

    01/22/2016 at 12:50 pm

    Yes, you can run in the yaktrax. We may be getting too much to run in them at first, but they’ll be good as things start to melt and compact on the trail. They do change your stride a bit, so you may end up with some extra aches and pains.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:44 pm

      oh great just what I need!!

  13. Smitha @ FauxRunner says

    01/22/2016 at 1:19 pm

    I got a similar type of towel for my gym bag recently and it cuts down my bag size in almost half!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:46 pm

      I love this towel and will definitely be getting a few more.

  14. Mary Beth Jackson says

    01/22/2016 at 1:22 pm

    I got a cut and color yesterday too! We do know what is important! I am loving the cooler weather and my new training plan! TGIF – looking fantastic!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 1:48 pm

      thanks! We might all be a little jealous of your weather too

  15. Jess @hellotofit says

    01/22/2016 at 2:26 pm

    LOVE your hair, Deborah!! And I STILL need to try core power when I go back to visit home. I gravitate towards solidcore 😛

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:26 pm

      Let me know when you come up this way again! Solidcore is totally different than core power.

  16. Laura@Fit Running Mama says

    01/22/2016 at 3:05 pm

    Your hair looks amazing!!! Props to you for running in ALL conditions… 20 degrees is my threshold! Enjoy the blizzard this weekend 🙂 As you know I am jealous!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:29 pm

      Yes I know your jealous! It’s fun for now but I think I may change my mind in a few days

  17. Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

    01/22/2016 at 3:46 pm

    Your hair cut looks great! What I’m loving right now – cuddle time with my little man. 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:29 pm

      There is nothing better 🙂

  18. Edye says

    01/22/2016 at 3:58 pm

    Your hair looks great! Have an awesome weekend 🙂

    Blessings,
    Edye

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:29 pm

      Thanks you too! Stay warm

  19. Mary Long says

    01/22/2016 at 4:05 pm

    Skirt Sports spring line- so cute! I love when the new spring lines hit the stores and everything it bright and pretty.
    I am currently loving my new dress pants from The Limited. “Exact Stretch” – this is probably the most comfortable pair of dress pants I have ever put on. I really dislike dress pants but with these, I was not ready to rip them off by the end of the work day. I highly recommend them if anyone is looking for a new pair.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:31 pm

      I don’t usually like dress pants either but those sound comfy 🙂 I love to see the new spring lines too

  20. Karen - Fit in France says

    01/22/2016 at 4:31 pm

    Your new haircut and color looks fabulous. I am loving that the days are getting longer. I need light ! Hope you are not hit too hard with snow. Great excuse to curl up and read a book.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:32 pm

      Yes the snow just started we are not good at managing it here at all! I love the days getting longer too

  21. Smitha @ RunningwithSDMom says

    01/22/2016 at 6:27 pm

    I heard a rumor that my favorite workout line – Spandits – is bring solid red to the mix. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! YAY!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:34 pm

      I’ve never tried those but that sounds cute!

  22. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    01/22/2016 at 6:31 pm

    Loving your new cut! Have fun trying out your Yaktraks – I love running in the snow!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 6:34 pm

      I just tried them so much fun!!

  23. Coco says

    01/22/2016 at 7:43 pm

    I love your hair! And those tights! I still haven’t bought YakTrax. I always say we don’t get enough snow. I could be wrong this year ….

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 8:20 pm

      I’ve had them for 2 years and never had the chance to use them. I had so much fun tonight running up and down our street like little kid

  24. Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says

    01/22/2016 at 8:07 pm

    I’m loving all the fun filters I’ve found for my iPhone–my yoga pictures have been taken to a whole new level!

    You look gorgeous in the picture!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/22/2016 at 8:20 pm

      Thanks and I have been loving your yoga pics too they are fantastic

  25. Mar @ Mar on the Run says

    01/23/2016 at 10:14 am

    ooh, what a great list. And your hair, seriously looks fabulous!! I need to get to hot yoga again soon.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/23/2016 at 2:07 pm

      Thanks and I am loving hot yoga right now. Don’t think we will be getting there for a few days though huh?

  26. ilka says

    01/23/2016 at 2:27 pm

    Love the Deborah! Looks fab!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/23/2016 at 3:40 pm

      Ah thanks! Be glad you live in Florida today :0

  27. Coach Henness says

    01/23/2016 at 2:36 pm

    Your hair DOES look amazing. I’ve been loving food – all forms of it – lol. But definitely running outside in the dark, wet winter mornings. Okay well it’s more like walk jogging but whatever.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/23/2016 at 3:43 pm

      walking jogging doesn’t matter as long as you are moving right? And thanks 🙂

  28. Salt says

    01/23/2016 at 4:09 pm

    I need to get back to hot yoga so badly. I miss it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/23/2016 at 5:17 pm

      So do I today! It would be perfect with this weather

  29. Akaleistar says

    01/23/2016 at 5:30 pm

    You’re new hair cut is beautiful! Who needs toilet paper and milk when you can get a hair cut 🙂

  30. courtney @ eat pray run dc says

    01/25/2016 at 1:38 pm

    loving the snow! it’s going to be a pain before long but for now, it’s awesome.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/25/2016 at 5:28 pm

      I had fun with my snow shoes and yaxtrax but would like my trail back soon 🙂

  31. Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says

    01/26/2016 at 8:32 am

    If I could ever get plowed out maybe I would get the chance to use my Yaktrax too, but nope, still knee deep in snow!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/26/2016 at 9:12 am

      I know so many people are still unplowed it’s crazy! I did really like using them on Friday night when we had a few inches untouched.Hope you are holding up ok!
