What To Wear For Winter Runs + Skirt Sports Giveaway

11/29/2017 by Deborah Brooks

Winter Runs

While we have all been enjoying the fabulous fall temps, we know winter is quickly approaching. No need to be banished to the treadmill when you can enjoy running outside all winter long. Knowing what to wear for every temp is kind of a "Goldilocks" predicament at times. (Too hot?, Too cold? or Just right?) Not to worry I am sharing my What To Wear For Winter Runs guide and "running" a giveaway from my friends at Skirt Sports for a Wonder Wool Shirt. Thanks to Skirt Sports for sponsoring this … [Read more...]

Best of Meatless Monday 2017| Sheet Pan Eggplant Cous Cous

Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. So I've been a little obsessed with Sheet Pan meals since I made Honey Pineapple Tofu bowls last month.

I modified one of her recipes to come up with my Sheet Pan Eggplant Cous Cous Dinner to share with you today. Wait there's more-I am also giving away a … [Read more...]

RunLites are a new running glove with built in rechargeable lights allowing you to run safer at night or early morning.
