The other day (after I wore my Poor Girl’s Gloves) Ben surprised me with a pair of Nike running gloves! My hands were very happy and I’ve been wearing them for every run since I got them! 
They have a key pocket on the inside of each hand, but it is facing down. So, if you use it and put in a key in there make sure to keep a fist so it doesn’t fall out. 
Marathon Training: Today I didn’t have a specific goal for my run so I figured I would do my normal 6 mile route at an easy pace. I even LEFT MY GARMIN AT HOME. That is a big deal to some Garmin addicts, but surprisingly I didn’t miss it as much as I thought I would. I think this is because I have only been using my Garmin to measure distance and see my mile splits, but I have not been keeping an eye on pace since I moved to MD.
Breakfast: I utilized this super brown naner to sweeten up my oats this morning. I cannot have oatmeal without a banana in it!
I made my usual oats and then mixed in pumpkin, salt and pumpkin pie spice (Evan told me he adds extra salt and I copied). 
I topped it with cranberries, cereal and PB (some brown sugar was added after the pic). It was Awesome!
Thank you all soo much for the votes for the Good Mood blogger gig! It really means a lot to me and I totally smile when I check to see how many votes I have. This would completely be my dream job and I appreciate all you help with the votes. You can vote once a day here until the 30th. Thanks again – you guys rock!!!
I love those gloves! Nike makes really great winter running gear (I have pants, a hoodie, and a jacket) so I’m totally going to look for those! I have a pair of Mizunos now and hate them. Worst waste of money.
Oh, I love those gloves! Where did he get them?
He got them at Dick’s Sporting Goods 🙂
I just realized I left my ‘neighbor’ comment (above) on this glove post and not on the post about Pico…duh….
Hey there…I knew you were from SoCal but didn’t know you were from Pico. I’m from Bell…practically neighbors 🙂
Those are some fancy shmancy running gloves! I like!
oh my gosh the nice gloves are soooo worth it right?! I finally splurged for them and love it
Oooh nice gloves!
i have those same gloves! they work pretty well except for below like 20*, then i have to double (or triple) up. but i have really bad circulation so they may not for you. but they are pretty awesome 🙂
Those are sweet running gloves! I love the key pocket.
Just voted!!
I drink a ton of water so I don’t worry about salt.
Oooh. Those gloves look great! I usually just loop my keys around my fingers inside the gloves– but this would be a MASSIVE improvement 🙂 Also… I wanted to let you know that when I ran my half on Sunday I used the “poor girl gloves idea” (just got married and moved … gloves are who knows where…) They worked great– and I saw several other runners doing the same thing! Can’t wait to see the pics where I am happily waving at the camera with my “socked hand”… haha…
Yay for no socks! Glad you liked the salt. I’m afraid I’m overdoing eat these days but so long as I up the potassium and water it should all work out(hopefully) haha
Cute gloves! I have a pair too, but it’s way too hot here to wear them. When my Garmin wouldn’t work for a long run, I was so cranky but after a while, it actually felt liberating not to have a watch on to keep checking my pace and time
I love really ripe bananas. They are the best in my opinion! I didn’t know we could vote once a day. Thanks for the tip!
Those gloves look awesome. I’ve been looking for a cheap pair, but I think I should just suck it up and buy a good pair like yours.
Good luck with the blogger gig!
