Sponsored Review: Mizuno Wave Inspire 12

Mizuno_Wave_Inspire_12_Hero

For the last month, I’ve had the privilege of trying a brand new shoe before it’s even released. This month, Mizuno began selling their new Wave Inspire 12 – and based on my trial, I’d definitely say this is a shoe worth checking out! According to Mizuno: “The new Wave Inspire 12 has the lightweight support you need to go farther and longer. With an improved upper that provides a soft-yet-structural fit and increased blown runner for maximum durability, this shoe provides the stability you need to stay on the road longer.” So, how did Mizuno deliver? Well, pretty much …

Giveaway: Soybu Activewear

TheSoybuStory

On a semi-related note to my post yesterday about trying new things… When Adam and I went camping in Arizona, I spent the weekend wearing a new-to-me brand. Soybu is a clothing brand that I first heard about at the Blend Retreat, where they gave us an awesome pair of compression leggings as part of our swag bag. So nice! I loved how snugly they fit and how great they make my legs look, without being too tight to be unattractive or uncomfortable. Looking into the brand after the retreat, I learned they were a Denver-based company. Hooray for local …

App I Love: Adidas MiCoach (Plus: Numetrex Sports Bra and Motorola Droid Turbo Reviews)

Adidas MiCoach Charts

Several months ago, I was invited to try some really cool new technology: a sports bra that uses “smart” fabric so that the sensing fibers are woven directly into the garment. By wearing the Numetrex Seamless Sports Bra, you can track your heart rate without having to use an uncomfortable heart rate monitor! I was pretty impressed… it definitely brings new meaning to the concept of “wearable” technology 🙂 The sports bra wasn’t quite as tight as the New Balance and Moving Comfort ones that I love for anyone with a larger chest, but the material was a really neat …

A Few of My Favorite Things (For Surviving the Holidays with One Arm)

Fabletics: Hawthorne Tank and Lima Capri

Today I get my splint off, and I am so excited! While I realize that the two weeks my left arm has been immobilized is a pretty short time period in the grand scheme of things (and I hope I haven’t been driving you all nuts with my whining about it!), it’s really been a pain to not be able to use my arm over the holidays. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve had to make lots of adaptations! Before I went into surgery, I knew it was going to be difficult, so I went out and picked up a few …

My Favorite Tools to Relax My Back

Favorite Tools To Relax My Back

I know that I kind of dropped a bomb on here with news of my surgery next week – and while I was pretty calm in that post, I am starting to get freaked out now that it’s just a week away. Between that and the slipped disc in my neck last year (which was also a gradually-over-time byproduct of no one specific thing rather than an acute injury), it seems like I’m getting old and my body is starting to rebel! Very frustrating. I’m trying over the next month to completely redo my home office setup so that it’s …
