Hello! I’m still running (and eating) around Marco Island Florida. The weather has been mild compared to past trips out here (read: not 99 degrees and 88% humidity). But today it was back up a bit and I was drowning in my sweat. For real. Luckily I spotted a few things on my and it made me happy and distracted from the drowning situation.
First, I was just running along and found a mango on the sidewalk! How random?!?!
I picked it up to see if it was rotten or if someone dropped it on the way home from the store or what…
Then, I realized there was a full on mango tree right there! Ha!! And it was completely covered in mangoes ready to be picked.
I decided since it was someone’s tree / I still had a few miles to go and didn’t want to hold a mango the whole time / it wasn’t ripe and I actually made an epic fruit salad with tons of mango and watermelon yesterday… I put it out of the way near the tree.
Then, I saw a beautiful rainbow!!!
And when I got back I saw an even more beautiful sight… DONUTS.
What is up with me being surrounded by donuts lately?! They are everywhere. Send help.
The Best Piece of Running Gear Giveaway
Now let’s talk about something I ALWAYS run with… my SpiBelt.
Every so often I’ll leave my gps watch at home or switch up my running gear but I always run with a SpiBelt.
Q: Why do you always run with a SpiBelt Monican?
A: Because it holds my phone and sometimes a few dollars so I can buy a smoothie or iced coffee.
And I can’t run without my phone because I might need to call for a ride home or instagram something or be about to be eaten by a wild animal and tweet the world good bye.
SpiBelts look small, but stretch pretty big so you can fit a lot in there. For marathons I put my phone, car key and 2 gus inside no problem.
The big question everyone is going to ask… Does it bounce?
No! It moves a tiny bit with your body, but doesn’t really bounce much.
The key is to center it on your body and tighten the straps. If it bounces I just tighten it and it’s fine. I also used to wear it on top of my shorts/under my shirt but have realized that is works best on me on top of my shirt.
Tip: Figure out where it fits YOUR BODY best. Move it up or down and tighten it until you forget you’re even wearing it.
(That’s a SpiBelt in my hand in the picture below. From the Buzz half marathon Feb before last!)
Everyone’s body is different and I have a kinda long torso and wide hips/small waist so I’ve had to mess with it a bit. Now I am totally used to it.
And because the nice people at SpiBelt know I’m such a big fan they are giving me TWO SpiBelts to give to RER Readers.

I just started reading your blog and discovered we were running around Marco Island the same week! I think I spotted the same mango tree–was it near Tigertail Beach?
No! But now I’m going to run by there too 🙂
Good timing – I was *just* thinking about getting a SpiBelt or a fanny pack of some kind now that it’s warming up and I often am exercising without a jacket/pockets.
Yup! Baby was up early… And thank god for jogging strollers!
No – I’m still recovering after a very muddy trail race on Sunday! 🙂
Yes- circuit cycle class and elliptical. I could definitely use a Spibelt for my marathon coming up this fall!!! 🙂
Not yet but definitely planning on if the weather holds. Thunderstorms galore here in WI!!
Yes, light walking, strength training and yoga. It was a good morning!
I worked out this morning! So great to get my run in early.
And I’m in the market for a Spibelt, woot!
Nope, haven’t worked out yet today! Maybe some weights later.
Got up early to run 5 miles by the ocean with my dog – great way to start the day!
No, I did not workout.
No I didn’t. But it made me chuckle when I misread “2 gus” as “2 guns”. You’re a badass Monican! Love your blog x
No I didn’t yesterday (when you posted this) but I did today! 5 sweaty miles this morning before work!
I walked two miles!
Yes – did my first 4+ mile run, so I was super sweaty & proud of myself! A SPIbelt would definitely be something handy to have as my runs get longer 🙂
Yes I did workout! Went for a 6 km run.
Today is my rest day – yay!!! And I REALLY need a SPIBelt because my Amphipod belt has a huge hole in it
Unfortunately, no. I have a teething 2-1/2 year old that will not let me out of her sight or nap. I had every intention to go to the gym this morning though – That counts, right? 😉
No not today, I had planned to go out for my 8km run after work but came back in an unexpected thunderstorm! So tomorrowmorning, here I go with my dog Luna!
No, I did not work out today, but I did eat a donut! 🙂
Yes- a little over a 3mile run.
I walked today. Love the article
Yes!
Yep! It finally stopped raining, so I even got to test out my new shoes!
Yes ran 3 miles!
Yes, today I ran a short run on our local trail. Would love to try the spibelt. I noticed your belt in past photos but wasn’t sure what brand you used. Glad to hear you like it!!
I ran 3 miles. I love this gorgeous weather.
Yup! Insanity in my living room!
Yep! Tempo run with some strength training!
Yes, a short morning run.
Yes! Speed wo .on the treadmill!
Yes…CrossFit!
I’m hitting up a Body Pump class after work today.
Of course I did! I have 7 children…its a workout just keeping up with them!
Not yet … doing a 4 mile interval run tonight!
Got a run planned for after work! Can’t wait!
Yup, I ran in fact.
I went for a quick run and then Zumba!
Heeeeeey there! Well, this post is dated 6-9, and nope, didn’t get a workout in yesterday; but I DO have plans for a run tonight! And I’m just going to have to pretend that I’ll be on that run with a Spi Belt. 😛
Yes! I went on a nice little run this morning to explore a part of Houston I’m not already familiar with. Great way to start the day 🙂
YES! I got in a run this morning before it got hot.
Yes – quick run before work
Yes and even added some Tabata sprints into my run… it was killer but felt oh so good.
I ran this morning!
I currently use the Flip Belt; however, when I upgraded to the iPhone 6 with an Otter Box Defender it no longer fits. I would love to try the Spi Belt!
Yes! Easy 10k along the river before work 🙂
Four mile run before 6am!
Going for a bike ride and bootcamp today!
Not yet. I have the day off and my body is a little sore so I’m thinking a yoga class mid-morning.
I’m going to work out as soon as my baby takes a nap 🙂
Yes! Got in a few miles while the weather was perfect this morning!
eh, a little weight training in the morning.
No workout today, still recovering from my marathon on Sunday :), just walking for me!
I’ve been so curious to try a Spi Belt – I would love to win! And yes I did workout today – a quick 3 mile run on the treadmill before heading to work. Hitting the gym later this evening for some weight training, too 🙂
Woke up early to get a run in to kick off training for my first marathon! hoping to run my first 6-miler in awhile this weekend.
Yes! I worked out today! I did a 5am run. It was only 2.25 miles, but it was mahvelous dahling!
I ran this morning!
I’ve been thinking I need some sort of belt to hold my things. I typically drive to a park to run, and I usually have to tie my car key to my shoe, and I’m always worried my car is going to be towed when I get back…along with my phone…and money…and ID. (And you know, what happens if I pass out of heat exhaustion–Florida runner here–and no one can identify my body because I have no ID on me??) So yeah, a SpiBelt would probably be a good idea.
I’m heading out to meet my friend for a 7-8 mile run in a few minutes!
Yup! Just finished up 15 sweaty miles!
Please enter me! I don’t have a spibelt 🙁
I haven’t worked out yet, but am signed up for a crossfit class in an hour. I need to try a SpiBelt I usually end up leaving my phone behind because the pockets in my capris/shorts only hold one Gu and my car key. I would definitely feel better if I could take my phone with me.
I ran what felt like 3 slow as molasses miles in humid DC.
Went for a long walk at a nearby reservoir with the dog! Would love to try out a SpiBelt on my next run!
Planning to go for a run after work!
I would LOVE a SpiBelt! I am always trying to jam everything in those tiny pockets in my shorts/capris and then the pocket bothers me the whole time im running! haha
I ran today!
Yep! An early am walk, so that I can go kayaking right after work
Does walking my dog count? lol Today is a rest day for me 🙂
I’m on a rest day as I had to have a tooth extraction! A spi belt would cheer me up! X
Tuesday I did a Gilad arms & chest workout. Then I did a Passion4Profession abs. I’m a little sore today since I haven’t been to the gym in a couple weeks b/c of school/work/life. I am taking an Algebra summer crash course (4 weeks) and it is taking soooo much of my time. But once it’s over I will be FREE (except for work/life) to enjoy the summer, workout at lunch(again) and take evening runs (once there’s shade – otherwise I will melt!)
Would love to try a SpiBelt! Thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win one. 🙂
Yes! A quick 30 mins on the elliptical was all I could fit in.
I rode my bike to and from work!
I’ve been looking for a running belt like this. I just hold my phone when I run and probably drop it every 3 miles or so. RER, you always have great recommendations!
Hitting the Kettlebells in a few minutes.
Went to the gym for some cross training, weights, and abs!!! Trying to build up my strength before I start my next marathon training.
Yes! Interval treadmill class!
Not yet. Headed to the gym this afternoon, as soon as I finished cleaning the house and getting all the laundry started. Plan to shower there to ensure I don’t mess up my newly sparkling bathroom!
Did not workout but hope I can do it today.
Yep! Run in the rain with my pup 🙂
This belt looks/sounds great!
Yesterday, I cycled to and from work, but today I ran 5 miles before work. It was before breakfast and into a head wind, so I had to dig deep!
Sadly, no. I am coughing my lungs out, though! 🙂
Sure did! Weights and then a nice run around the lake!
No 🙁 I accidentally stubbed and sprained my toe while running, so I’m taking an involuntary rest day!
If you call trotting downhill for a mile to the bus stop a workout, then yes I did work out today.
yes! 🙂
Yup, had a strength training session with my trainer at 6:30 am. We did “Shoulders” today.
I came across your PB protein cookie recipe on Pinterest & followed a link over here. I will be trying those cookies! No, I haven’t worked out today. I am just starting out with exercising. I am plus-size. I’m not sure a SpiBelt would fit me now. Maybe in a few months. Keep posting protein-packed recipes!
I came across your peanut butter protein cookie recipe on Pinterest (I must try them), & I followed a link over here. I’m not sure a SpiBelt would be big enough for me. I’m very plus-sized. But I am working on that. I did not work out today, but I’m still just starting out. I will be looking for more protein-packed recipes, though. Keep posting them!
I want a spibelt so. Bad!!! I look forward to your posts every night before bed:)
Love my spibelt. The hubby and I bought them when we went to Switzerland as a way to keep our passports, money safe as we were tourists. But I love it running too. I would love to win one for my sister so she can stop carrying her phone in her sweaty bra when she runs.
Yep yep yep!
No, but I did walk with my daughter who was holding my spi belt in her stroller – she loves buckling it. It didn’t make it home with us, so it’s floating somewhere around the Space Needle. 🙁
yep, hit up at 5am spin class. Would have rather been running, but I force myself into spin once a week 🙂
Yes!! Beautiful trail run in Northbrook, IL!! Visiting for a conference. #Alisonwoods
Today’s workout was a recovery 4 mile walk.
Yes! I finally got in an overdue run.
I just got home from a short run with my boys!!! Getting ready to start training for my first half soon!!!
Yes!
Workout: no. It’s way to hot:(
Enjoyed some strength training and a boot camp class at my local Y this evening.
ooooooh! I want a SpiBelt! It would have been awesome on my 7 mile run this morning
I’m off to workout riiiiiiiiiiiiiight……now!
Yep! 1.5 mile run and a 20 minute walk.
I have always wanted a SPIbelt. Yes I did work out today (only 4.5 miles) because I face planted after tripping on a bump in sidewalk. So graceful!
yes! A nice easy 5 km
Yes! A quick strength workout in the am.
Sadly I didn’t get a workout run. Being on call with two pagers not only puts a damper on my running style, but also takes me back to the 90’s!
Yes I worked out this AM! Lil run walk and abs. I want a mango tree!
Yes-got a 3 mile run in after work and it felt great!
Not today, but I did yesterday and I will tomorrow! The Spibelt looks awesome.
Yes! I ran 6 very hot miles!!
I put off the gym all day but finally got my act together and went at 7pm. Running, crunches, and kettle bell work made the work out go quickly!!
Yes, I just had a cool 4 mile run. I might be crazy but it felt cool outside in Louisiana after an afternoon storm! You’re so close to Naples, where I grew up! I started my whole running life in Naples,FL. ENJOY!!
Yes, two mile run this morning!
I did work out! I ran 6 miles on the C&O Canal in MD. Quite proud because it was my first run sans iPod and watch. 🙂
But I feel ya! I need a belt with me on runs. Having a phone to call for help is super important. Especially when you are on a trail where there may not be people near.
I did run today! And the exciting part about that is, although it was a short run, it was the fastest 3 miles I’ve ever run!
Yes! I’m on vacation in SC right now so I tried out a new to me crossfit. It was fun!
I’m on my way out the door for a run right now!
Yes! And I’ve been dancing around all day over SR’s big news, too!
Yep! Starting my training for the America’s Finest City half marathon
Yes! 5 mile run with hill repeats.
I’ve been keeping my eye on a belt the past couple weeks and can’t put my finger on which one to get! I saw the flip belt I think it’s called but couldn’t make a decision so I’m happy to hear you like this one.
I ran 3.5 miles this morning! I’ve been wondering about the spibelt for a while now. I’m most concerned about it bouncing…I hate that!! Glad you did a review on this! Have fun on Marco! I was just there in May and loved it!
I was just looking at spibelts the other day!
Made it to my bootcamp class this afternoon, despite the ridiculous temperatures and humidity in FL!
Yes I got my run on this morning on the treadmill. I wish my run was outside but preschool is out for the summer and a runner has got to do want a runner has got to do!!
No, was traveling to New Orleans. Unless running through the airport to our gate counts since we almost missed our flight.
yes! woke up and went for a run in the morning
I did not workout. Just had a baby. Lol I can’t wait to run again!
Yes!!!! Piyo this morning, going for a run in just a bit!!
Yes, I fast walked this morning.
I ran 5 miles this morning!
Yes I was on vacation at the beach and took a 1 hour walk while enjoying the sunshine and salty air!!
I didn’t work out today but I did get a 5 mile walk. I would love to have a spibelt 😀
I run with a belt but have never had a spibelt before! I would love to have one!!
…and, of course I worked out today! 30 on elliptical (too hot for outdoor run) and 30 on the bike…duathlon training.
I am a die-hard fuel belt user but would love to try one of these…big question: will it hold the iPhone 6?
I did some yoga and went on a quick walk!
I did a slow but sweaty 4.5
miles!
Yes, miles on the treadmill, followed by an hour spin class.
Run, lift, swim….light day!
Yes! Leg weight training session. Then I walked around the zoo for 4 hours with my kids. Is that a double?
Yes-2 miles in my neighborhood before work
Not ytr and I am super stressed!
Yes! Ran 4 miles this morning and hitting a yoga class tonight. Would love to try a spibelt!!
Yes! I had a 9 mile run with 6 tempo miles scheduled. Since it was supposed to be 90 today and in true midwestern style, I am a huge baby about the heat, I got up at ridiculous-o-clock to get it in before work. I felt great this morning, but I’m wiped now!
Yes! And it was the best part of my day 🙂
Yes, ma’am. 🙂
No! I hung out with my 7month and did a ton of laundry….
I walked this morning. So nice to have it checked off!
I actually recently purchased and used a Flipbelt in my last marathon! You should check it out – holds a lot more than the spibelt and super comfy – feels like a part of my shorts. https://flipbelt.com/
Sure did! Hit the gym this morning to avoid running in the thunderstorm. 🙂
Love the idea of trying a new belt. I have a flip belt but it just fits off… 🙁
I did work out today – 4 mile run with my pup followed by a yoga session 🙂
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. I run with both hands full of crap.
Not yet, but doing week 6 of a Summer 5k Series after work!
Yes!
Yep…4 miles this morning while my 4 week old daughter was sleeping!
today i did a long walk and a set of planks&push ups.
Yes. Worked out twice today
I’m woRking out Right now
5 very sweaty miles – it’s actually pretty humid here in SoCal today!
It is HUMID in San Diego today – no joke. There is actually talk of T-storms! I am planing to do 5 miles this afternoon. So, I guess I, too, will be drowning in sweat. I guess Mother Nature is prepping me for my visit to the East Coast next week. Ha!
I have seen Spibelts at some expos (well, most of them lately!) and have been curious how they feel. I usually just load up my handheld and my back pocket during marathons, but sometimes it is super-annoying. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try something different! Enjoy FL and don’t drown
I finished a walk with my favorite girlfriend. 4 miles in 90 degree heat. Too hot to run for us Portlanders in June!
I did not work out today but in my defense I have been working really long hours (12-16) I’ll get back to it once work is more settled.
Yep!
Crossfit on the agenda for 6:30pm!
YES! 2 miles @ 5am before work
I want to win a new spi-belt! This morning’s workout was New Rules of Lifting for Abs, phase one, workout A, followed by a 30 min run on the treadmill. I love mangoes. How cool would it be to have your own mango tree?
Yep! I took a class at the Mile High Run Club – it ruled as usual! I need a spibelt!!!
Yes! 5 mile run this morning
Not yet but after 4 years finally convinced the boyfriend to come run with me after work!
Yes I did – 7 miles around the neighborhood before work.
Yes! Got an early morning interval workout in at the track this morning. At 5am. I need a nap!
Planning to run this evening, once it cools down!
I haven’t run yet today but I will later. My kids are asking to run with me, so I promised them one of my miles!
Getting ready to train for my first marathon (NYC 2015!) would love a spy belt for my training!
I’m opting to listen to my body and forgo my workout today. I worked from 3pm yesterday to 7am this morning, and the overnighter has me feelin a little weary! Tomorrow it’s back to my usual routine of running
I did! A 30 minute run before work, but I had slept in a bit late so I was rushing to get ready when I got back. Loving that belt on you!
Easy Five miler this morning!
Yes! A run where I got thuderstormed on!
I plan on running when i get off of work!
Yep. 4 sweaty miles. Would love a spibelt so I wouldn’t have to stash stuff in my sports bra!
I ran outside and am going to the gym later. Super hot and sticky!
Yeppers!!!!! Spin class + dog walks 🙂
Have to cancel my running plans for tonight due to the inch of rain we are getting 🙁 Yoga is on the agenda now. Been wanting to try the spibelt! I have something like it but it bounces all over the place.
heck yes I worked out today!! I’m an addict. Like for real. I have a marathon on Saturday so I’m toning it down over here. Aaaand I do need a spi belt!
Its marci! Not Marco. Even tho my auto correct thinks I’m Marco.
YES! But, it’s really hot here too so I opted for a cycling class at my Y. Holy Hot Mess ~ 20 some people sweating in a cycle room is insanity. I have been biking more outside too so I bet a Spibelt would be awesome for that too!!
Nope… I got little to no sleep last night and instead of working out, I’m drinking coffee.
Call me a slacker… 🙁
Nope!! Still stupid sore from my half marathon on Saturday… all downhill… yikes! Tomorrow will be a short recovery run though… God willing!
Yes. Started training for my first half marathon last week. 3 miles today in 30 minutes. Woo hoo! Love your page. Keep up the great work.
No because I lost my spibelt and need a new one!
I went running today, following a workout suggestion from “Build Your Running Body.” And I wanted to say that this year I ran the Buzz Half Marathon for my first time! It was neat seeing your picture from running it.
I did, I walked in the am on the treadmill, PLUS I had PT today. I had knee surgery a few weeks ago so every little bit counts right now.
I want a donut too!
Yes! 5:15am Pylo…Everyday but Sundays
I went on a hike with a friend, and this would also be perfect for that!
Not yet, working right now but definitely need to get it in tonight! I would love to try Spibelt. My phone was in my pocket on a run with my dog the other week and it feel out! Luckily some kind strangers returned it
Yep! Went to the park this morning for a run/plyometric circuit combo
Workout: Done!
Yes I did! Every weekday I go do a Jazzercise class at 5:45am. Get it done bright and early…great way to start my day! Thanks so much for the giveaway
: )
I lifted weights, did a HIIT workout and took two walks with my baby. It was a good workout day!
No but I’m signed up for a workout class tonight.
Yes, I did day 2 of Insanity. This is not my first time through the program. it is my “get your booty back in shape” before you turn 41.
Yes! Dance lesson 🙂
Not yet, but there’s a nice long walk planned for my evening. 🙂
Not yet but after work today!
I’ve been afraid to try one of these thinking they would bounce…..guess they are okay!
Yes! I woke up early and ran this morning.
I did work out today. I am training for a spartan race this summer! I love your blog!
Not yet but playing a par 3 tonight with my fiancé!
Not yet – have an evening workout planned today:)
Yes! I ran with my dog at 6 a.m. because it was going to top out at 88 today, and I have a crazy low heat tolerance. Then did yoga once home (SF Marathon Flexible Finish session) to make my hips happy.
No. Hoping to later though!
Yes!
I tried a T25 workout today but I didn’t like it! I much prefer insanity.
I’ve been wanting to try a running belt for a while now. I’ve heard the spibelt and the Flipbelt are both really good but I’m too indecisive.
Haven’t worked out yet, but planning to get to the gym later for some cross training: cycling, stair machine, row machine, and weights!
AHHHHHH, I’ve been looking at the SpiBelts! FATE? DESTINY? I hope so 🙂 I have not yet worked out today.
Yes. Water jogging and some weights….gotta switch things up every once in a while.
YES! 40 minute circuit workout in the gym today. I love my spibelt, but it doesn’t have a snazzy pick zipper like yours!
No workout today…rest day. Ran last night and will run tomorrow evening too. Also, I’m a big fan of SpiBelt…although not for my running specifically. My daughter has severe food allergies and uses a SpiBelt to carry her epi-pens with her everywhere she goes.
Yes!! Went to my 5am Orange Theory Fitness class.
I didn’t… perhaps if I had a spibet I’d be more motivated to 😉
I’m heading to the park after work to do a 4 mile run in the humidity! Yuck! The spibelt looks great, I use a belt now but it’s definitely seen better days and it’s time for a new one!
Not yet, heading out for a run soon though!
Yes. Nice easy run with lots of hills….aka speed work in disguise.
Took a 5 am spinning class this morning… spibelts are awesome!! My son uses one to carry his epipen
I have not worked out yet today but my hubs and I have a long bike ride planned tonight!
Not yet, but I’m ready to hit the gym tonight!
Yes! Nice easy run with tons of hills…aka speed work in disguise.
Just finished a circuit workout at home. Going to take my baby and kids on a run to the grocery store when baby wakes up.
Does not yet count as an answer?
Not yet. Doing a track workout this evening to prepare myself for my first race (5K) post baby on July 4th!
No……t yet. 🙂 Im at work (reading your blog on my lunch) the plan is to get after it once I’m out of here! hold me to it ! 🙂
Yes! 7 miles done. 🙂
Yes, 9 miles in the pre thunderstorm NY humidity. Not as bad as Floridas though..
Yes! Just went on a short 2.3 mile run before lunch!
On my way to work out now! Would love to win this
No
Do bacon curls at the breakfast table count?
Yes! I ran 3 miles this morning before it got really hot in Denver.
I ran 4 miles and did a 20 minute cross training circuit.
No workout yet, but planning to get out for an evening run!
Yes – I went horseback riding! Best way to work out, in my opinion. 🙂
Not yet, doing a pub run tonight at 6pm!
I always have trouble finding a belt that works with all of the different exercises I like to do. I have used one that was great for hikes and walks, but it did not work well for running. I would be excited to try the SpiBelt with its versatility!
I ran four miles today at lunch! Currently training for a half marathon would love to win this!
I am planning a workout after I get of work in 3 hours. Probably a short run with some strength.
I have the same SpiBelt. I love it. I recommend it to all my running friends.
I’m doing some speedwork later at the track with my Fleet Feet Stamford crew 🙂
Not yet, but I plan on it after I get off work!
Not yet! Will do after work, and when the rain slows down…
Haven’t worked out yet today but I am heading to the gym after work!
Took the dog for her exercise this morning and my workout is happening after work!
Yes I did. During my lunch break.
Just now! Did a HIIT workout from Purelytwins. They are amazing.
Yes, running and yoga!
Yes! I ran first thing this morning 🙂
Yes- I went for a 7 miler up my favorite shady canyon!
no, but i will tomorrow 🙂
Not yet, but planning to hit up the gym after work
Yes, I ran at lunch and will lift after work.
I started listening to the Undisclosed podcast which isn’t a sequel to Serial but is pretty close.
Workouts don’t happen until after work! And unfortunately, I’m still at work so the workout will begin in 2.5 hours!!
Today is a day off from exercise for me since I’m on my feet for 7 hours today. Went for a wonderful run yesterday though! Thanks for the opportunity.
Nope yet, but am hitting up the gym after work to log a few miles on the treadmill.
Yes, ma’am I did a combo of zumba cardio and kickboxing. Felt great!
Yes – a very rainy 8 mile progression run!
I have a Nathan Running belt and have found that it tends to ride up a bit and think the spibelt may be the fix to my problems. Definitely need a good running belt for my first half marathon this September and I am trying to figure out what that right one is.
Working out after my work conference. 3 mile run and then a 45 minute spin class. Oh cardio. Also did a quick 15 minute strength workout using the Samsung workout app that I have a free 6 month subscription too!
I haven’t worked out yet, but a 5 miler with some speedwork is on deck!
I need one of these! I haven’t yet but I’m planning on running 2 miles and doing Jillian Michaels’ 30 day shred.
No workout yet, but hopefully it’s in the cards for this evening!
Does dog walking count?
I’m running this afternoon with my work running group. It’ll be warm here in Denver so I bought popsicles on the way to work! 🙂
I did a 1 mile walk/run with my 12yr old this morning.
I have always wanted to try a spi belt 🙂
Yes
Today’s a rest day for me! I am running a half marathon with a girlfriend in two weeks so this could be perfect for holding my phone and keys!
I did – some yoga after a long training day for work.
Yes – did some body weight stuff with push-ups and lunges and wall sits and such. I would love to try a spibelt…I’ve yet to find a running belt that doesn’t end up creeping up around my waist (aka, my high sweat zone!).
I have not worked out today – yet. But I will be officially kicking off my marathon training after work today. I’ll be running the Baltimore marathon in Oct (I’ve run a few halves but this will be my first full)! Having a spibelt for the race and training would be great!
Not yet because my children woke up early! Planning to run after work though.
Yes! But I had to modify my normal bootcamp workout because I have a hurt knee. Boo 🙁 Hoping to be back running soon though!
Not yet, but still hope to get a run or ride in later today.
I did PiYo Sweat this morning!
Yes, I did! Arm workout (shoulder to forearms) followed by a 12 minute circuit workout. Quick but effective 🙂
I’m working out right now! Stationary bike during lunch break….
Not yet, but I will run tonight when it cools off! That belt looks awesome!! I have tried a couple different ones before but I couldn’t keep them from twisting while I ran.
i have a workout class this evening!! can’t wait! I’m testing out orange theory.
I had a fantastic run with my friend, we don’t get together very often and the kms just flashed by as we laughed and chatted
Yep, ran this morning with my 8 year-old daughter. 🙂
yes 🙂
No workout yet, but planning on it! I have a flip belt, but have always wanted to try a spi belt. The flip belt can be difficult to access!
I’m doing a semi-long run tonight. Maybe 10ish miles
Yes! My first workout of my new marathon training cycle. It was tough, but got it done!
Yes
Yes, ran 8 miles this morning! Had to sprint the last mile because I miscalculated my timing and almost made my husband miss a dentist appointment. Whoops! I’m interested in this spibelt. I’ve been looking for a belt to carry Gu on long runs but have been indecisive. It’s nice to see a good review!
Yes! I ran 4 miles earlier this morning. I would love to try out a spibelt.
Ran this am before work! I need one of these babies!
Not yet, am hoping to get a short run in later!
yes. always
Yes 🙂
That’s pretty cool that you ran into a mango tree! I love my spibelt! I’ve had it for years and it still does the trick. Would love to get one for my husband though 🙂
Love mine too. I have a neon green one, so people can see that I wear a mini-fanny pack with pride. I’m not ashamed. I keep my phone, running gum, almonds, GU, Burt’s Bees, and chaffing gel in it. It’s the best thing since sliced bread…with cheese between the slices.
This gal needs a SPI belt! No, I have not worked out today. Might do a small workout/strength session at home! 🙂
Not today, it’s a rest day.
No. 🙁
No. Rain this morning but plan on a run this afternoon! 🙂
Yes–3 mile run this morning!
Yes–a three mile run in the heat for this pregnant lady. It’s hot hot hot all of a sudden here in the mountains!
Yes! This morning before work!
Yes! Almost 4 miles before work, I hate waking up early but so worth it to get it out of the way.
Sure did workout today! Did a boot camp circuit class (owwwwwwww!) +30 mins on the elliptical -watching Scandal because I’m addicted to that show almost as much as I am to getting my sweat on :)!
Marathon training starts next week, and I’m very much looking forward to drowning in sweat from the Midwest humidity.
Not yet. My three kids will ride their bikes while I run along beside them. Family exercise in the evening to keep us healthy.
I haven’t worked out yet because I actually got to SLEEP IN! I’m a working mom of two and this is a rare exquisite treat!…..a spi belt would be a treat too….
Yep! Bright and early to watch the sun rise!
I haven’t worked out yet because I had a late soccer game last night. Hoping to get a run in after work!
yes ma’am! Jillian Michaels no more trouble zones… and then probably a run after work. Enjoy FL– lived there for 5 years and summer is killer. Kudos for running in the heat!!
I sure did! A quick and dirty run this morning before work!
YES! Took a weightlifting/toning class this morning before work 🙂
I just bought a FlipBelt, and I’d love to see how this compares to that. I’m intrigued.
I sure did! And planning to walk to the post office this afternoon.
Not yet! I was going to run tonight but as I’ve been feeling sick all day I’ll probably just take a walk.
Hoping to go for a walk later today!
Yes I did! Three miles on the treadmill (because I have to deal with the 80 degrees and 80% humidity!) ugh.
Yep! Took a bootcamp class, did some erging, and took a little walk 🙂
Yep!! I ran 6.7 miles on the treadmill this Am!
Yes!
Not yet, but I’ll be heading out for a run soon!
yes i worked out today, and i carried my keys because i dont have a spibelt! lol
I am finishing up my workout right now and reading blogs on my iPad!
I did a short run and yoga
Yes! I managed to squeeze in a 20 minute 3rd trimester pregnancy cardio workout in between taking my husband for his train and going to work myself. I was starting to feel disappointed with myself that I’m too tired to do some pilates that I had also planned, but forget that negativity!
I have wanted to try one of these for a while but am really worried about the bounce! Your words are encouraging.
No, cause I’m sick/have a man voice today, BUT I’ve been looking for one of these for forever!
I did work out today! First time running 5 miles in years!
I have wondered about those (SpiBelt), my current belt (holds a water bottle) and it bounces more than I’d like.
As for workout, I am meeting my trainer after work this afternoon. :o)
No, unless packing for move counts!!
I haven’t worked out today but I will in about an hour or so. I think Zumba is what’s going to be the workout of the day!
Strength training this morning.
I have not worked out today yet but it’s still early. I plan to run with my hubs.
I’ve been wanting to try the Spibelt for a long time! I think being able to carry everything in one spot and free up my hands would make me feel safer when running outside alone. Good to know it doesn’t bounce – that would drive me crazy.
I had a spibelt, and it bounced all over the place 🙁 I got rid of it in favor of a flipbelt, which I LOVE.
Just got done with a speed workout with the best running friends! Looks like you had an amazing run this morning. I would have totally tucked that mango in my sports bra and taken it home. I am a sucker for ripe mangos.
Yes I did!
Not yet but a short run is on deck soon. Desperately need a new spi belt to correspond with said run, my off brand belt is no bueno!
Not yet! Going to my cross country running group tonight. Gonna have to really push myself to show up, though, since Aunt Flo keeps reminding me she’s visiting. TMI? Sorry! Haha.
Nope, today is my day off!!
I love my Spibelt! I had one and then I put it somewhere when I was injured so it wouldn’t mock me and I cannot for the life of me find it again. I ran this morning before heading into work! It was great.
Not yet hoping to get in a short run/yoga session later.
Yes. 5 mile run this morning
Not yet, outdoor bootcamp on the agenda after work!
Will a donut fit in there??
Have not worked out yet today, waiting for my belt so I can bring my phone 🙂 but really, I will be running later today.
❤️ your blog!
I did! I was bored with my usual stuff, so I did a 5 min warm up on the bike, alternated 20 step-ups with 10 weighted squats 3x, 10 min on elliptical, then alternated 20 sit ups, 10 leg lifts, 30 second plank 3x, and a mile on the treadmill to finish. No boredom here!
Going for a run tonight!
Planning to run after work… It’s supposed to be 90 though, so may downgrade to a walk… Love, love, love spibelts! I never run without one. Whenever I do a race I make sure to go up to the spibelt booth and tell them how much I love them. 🙂
I did work out today! I took a 60min class at Bar Method.
No – I need to order some new running shoes first!
Haven’t worked out yet. Trying to get back to my good, early morning habits, but finding it difficult. A nice, long walk with the boxer planned for this evening.
Would love a spibelt to try out. Have been considering one for ages, but just haven’t done anything about it.
Love spibelts!
Yes – I’m working out right now as I type, on my DeskCycle! Love this thing, it turns out biking for about an hour every day while answering emails at work really helps my running endurance!
No workout today, taking a rest day 🙂
I’ve been looking for a good belt. I also have a long torso so this one might be perfect
Not today. Ran last night and taking today off. Will be back out there Wednesday!
Yes! I got up and went for a run before heading off to work.
Not yet…hoping to get a walk and some yoga in as long as my baby girl cooperates 🙂
Yep =D I got in some Barre before work this morning.
Oh man, your running view looks amazing! I’m at my parents’, so dreading a run on the treadmill in the basement (think no windows), since it’s cold, raining and windy…
Yes! Hope I win! This would be great for my runs.
I haven’t not worked out yet today, I go at 6:30 pm 🙂
Yes I worked out! And omg! Haha! Mangos always were my pre-run fuel!
I had a run fail this morning and hit the snooze button way too many times. It’s too hot to run now. Thank you Florida. hehe
I have a SpiBelt and I’ve been running with it for a few years. I NEVER run without it. It holds everything. What I really need though, is a waterproof one…..
Yes, ma’am. I’m nursing some sore knees so I just walked .
I did! One super humid/drizzly mile this morning for Day 15 of the Runners World Run Streak. 🙂
Yes, I spent an hour with my kettlebell personal trainer.
Yes, I got in an hour of strength training this morning before work. Depending on how I feel after work, I may also head to yoga tonight to get my stretch on.
Yes! I did an upper body strength workout this morning. I would love to win one of these belts!
Not yet. Hoping to get some elliptical miles in later.
Have a taper run scheduled for tonight, running my first half on Saturday!
No run today…but I do have dance class tonight. I am looking forward to my run tomorrow morning!
Not yet, but plan on running down beside the river later.
Not yet!
I’ll be doing my run tonight after work! My butt is really sore from hiking on Sunday so we’ll see how it goes! 🙂
Not yet, but I’m heading to the gym after work today!
Not yet, but plan on running this evening.
No, I’m still recovering from Sunday’s half marathon in the Black Hills of SoDak!
Yes – some HIIT stuff this morning and then running with the club on trails tonight in preparation for Ragnar WV!
Workout = no. That may change, but I may also just be lazy.
I never got a donut on national donut day and it has been plaguing me ever since. I think I may need to make a pit stop on the way home…
Yes! Running with friends is the best.
I ran this morning. It wasn’t fun. I am not a morning runner normally. If I were a boy my running shorts would have pockets and I wouldn’t need a belt. Girls running shorts need zippered pockets big enough for a phone!
Nope! Rest day but I might bike to a coffee shop to do some work this afternoon.
I haven’t worked out today yet, since I’m an evening exerciser. I think today will be a recovery run since I’m just getting back from vacation and I’m SO SORE from yesterday.
I actually DID! Rare for me to get out to run before work but today I cheated time (not death, thankfully) and got in a quick 3 before work. 🙂
I LOVE my spibelt, but I rarely put more than my phone (and ID if I’m racing) in there; and I always wear it in front.
Not yet, but I have a run on the schedule for after work! 🙂
Not yet! Planning a run in the park! Thanks for the rainbow!
I’ve got a track workout planned for tonight!
Yes!! I’ve wanted to try out a spibelt for awhile!!
I haven’t run yet, because it is 5 AM. But I plan to this later today.
I always run with my phone and my key. But I have a armband for my phone. I think a spibelt would be better
Spinning class today! Would love a belt like this for morning walks with Porter… Pretty sure I could cram some treats in there!
Not yet, but will this evening
Yes! Got up early to get a run in before I had to get to work since I knew I wouldn’t have time later.
YES!
Not yet, but I’m hoping for a nice cool drizzly run this afternoon! 😉
Nope. Hoping to do some weights later today!
I love mangoes – until I found out that I am now allergic to them via a giant rash 🙁 I have a bulkier running belt but would love to try the SpiBelt based on your reviews.
Not yet, but there is a gym trip on the schedule for this evening.
