Five Good Things these Runners Enjoy




Can you believe it is the first Friday in April already? We can't.  Earlier this week we were talking about how we saw snow and today it's a perfect spring day just as it should be!   Since today is Good Friday, the theme for this week's Friday 5 is "Five Good Things"

 

Staying with the "good" theme, we thought we would feature a few items we like and maybe you will find some that you might like too.

1.  Now that warmer weather is finally here it's time to give our feet a break from the boots we have been wearing all winter long. It's time to get a pedicure and show it off in the comfiest pair of sandals. Sanuk. They are made from yoga mats and your feet will thank you.


2. We got this Rock Sauce from the company that makes Rock Tape ( kinesiology tape).  It's a topical heat cream for temporary relief of muscle aches and pains. You can definitely feel the heat when you lather it on and I want to say that it did give me a little relief, but then again there are so many factors when you are trying something new for pain. It could be that the sauce worked or it could be that my knee isn't as bad as it once was. I'm not sure. You can use this with or without the tape. Also, this stuff smells like those pink peppermint candies!

3. The last time I was at the chiropractor he gave me these wedges to put in my running shoes.  The hope is that it will straighten my knees out while I run.  They are sticky on the bottom and you put them under the insoles in your shoes. I'm anxious to try them out and see if they help with my problem.

4. Fruit infused water: We often buy frozen fruit and lately we've been using frozen melons and berries in place of ice cubes in our water. I personally love putting it in my blender bottle and giving it a few shakes. It makes for a very refreshing drink and helps us get our H2O in.

5. We've been trying this Hair Warrior Fitness Formula Shampoo.  It is actually a leave in hydration treatment that you apply to your dry hair before working out.  You really want to concentrate on putting it on the ends because that is usually the driest part of your hair.  This formula is meant to nourish, strengthen, and repair hair against perspiration and frizz.  When done working out, you shampoo and condition as usual.  Because it is suppose to work well with humidity, I think this will be a great product for our summer runs!

What are some things you've been enjoying lately?

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by. L and M
