New Running Shoes and Other Fun Stuff

3 Jun

Hello! I spend a lot of time on the internet looking at running blogs and race sites and A LOT of food pictures and all that typical stuff. And when I spot a ‘new-to-me’ piece of running gear I stop my scrolling and check it out. This week I spotted two new running products you might want to try. If you’ve already tried them let us know in the comments.

New Place To Put Your Keys While You Run

The Run Lock – http://www.therunlock.com/

I thought this was super cool! You can just put your keys on your car and go run. I usually just put my key in my belt, but sometimes I worry about it scratching my phone or falling out. This is a great idea!

And remember that time I LOST my key at a race?! This could be super helpful if you don’t have anywhere safe on your body to put your key.

 

New Springy Running Shoes

Ampla Running Shoes

The company sent me these a few weeks ago. They are so weird and awesome and interesting, right?! I’ve only tried them once so far so I can’t give a full review, but I do think they feel springy!! They really kinda make you push off on your forefoot with the design.

these are magic running shoes i think

You order them directly from the company and they offer free returns if you don’t ‘em.

National Donut Day

And this isn’t new but it really is the best… donuts!!!

Today is National Donut Day!! Are you celebrating by having one?? Or two?

This is a local hole-in-the-wall kinda place near my house that has the BEST donuts. I’m going there for a fresh one.

Question: When was the last time you had a donut?

If it’s been more than a month it’s been too long.

    Tell me about it! It’s definitely been way too long! I can’t have gluten and they used to have ones at the grocery store that were gluten free that I loved but I haven’t been able to find them in forever.

    Is there actually a gap on the bottom? That would get annoying if like rocks or stuff got stuck in there.

    You’ve got to get yourself to Sidecar Donuts, Monican! It’s only in Newport/Costa Mesa area. Not far at all. 🙂
    My daughter is going today and bringing me one.

    Happy Best day of the year!
