I’m a winner!
Do you remember when I posted about the Ryka contest a while back? They are giving away 50 pairs of shoes and 50 performance tees each day up until October 25th! They even ask you for your sizes when you register!! For every shoe that they give away, they will donate one to The Women’s Sports Foundation. Good for everyone! Yesterday I came home from the Radio Station and a box from Ryka was sitting on my doorstep…I WON! I received an awesome pair of Ryka MC2 Run shoes. They retail for $89.99! I’m so excited…I was going to go out and get a new pair of running shoes next week…and Ryka was one of the brands that I was going to try on. Here is a picture of my new prize:
As I continue to train for my half marathon I get the chance to try out lots of cool running products. I’m going to share them with you periodically. This week my picks are atalanta running skirt and Bondi Bands.
I received the Commitment Skirt from atalanta Athleticwear last week and had plenty of opportunities to try it out. This is a sporty running skirt with hidden full length supportive shorts underneath it. Its kinda like bike shorts under it, but not as tight as typical bike shorts. It has two outside hip pockets that are perfect for your cell phone and mp3 player. You can choose from 7 different color combinations. I chose black and turquoise – the skirt is black with turquoise trim & shorts. When I walked with my friend the other day the first thing she said when we met up was “cute skirt”. Not only is it adorable, it is sooo comfortable. I ended up wearing it all day long! You don’t necessarily have to be an athlete to wear this. Its great for kicking around in. Cute & comfie! I also love the little apple logo…right up my ally.
Bondi Bands are very fashionable (yet very practical) headbands that are great for runners. Now don’t get me wrong…they aren’t only for runners…but I think they are perfect for running! I have three Bondi Bands and I love them all. The hardest part was picking out which fabrics to get…they have so many to choose from! I have a black performance wear band that is made out of sweat absorbing fabric, a hip striped one that looks great everyday, and a gray one with “13.1″ printed on it – this one is for the race! They keep my hair and sweat out of my face. I even wear them when I wear my hat…it just keeps the hair in place. These are great for both kids and adults. What a cool idea!
