My Running Anniversary

Today marks 3 years from the day I ventured outside for the my first taste of the Couch-to-5K running plan.  I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I’d still be running now, much less enmeshed in it as thoroughly as this.  Life unfolds in the most wonderful, unforeseen ways.

New Video – Running Jackets!

This was a fun one to do (or rather, to edit).  In the spirit of America’s Next Top Model, I tried my best to be Fierce and there’s no question I rocked it bigtime.  I hope you enjoy the tips offered as well as the high quality fashion show.  Featured are the Sugoi Hydrolite rain jacket, and my winter running jackets, a Gap fleece and the Asics Storm Shelter jacket.

Today will be a double-hit media blitz for some of you hapless creatures.  Not only is there a new video, but I’m sending out the first edition of my newsletter this afternoon.

The Video

I was going to do a jacket video but figured I may as well start from the inside out, so today’s video is on my favorite winter base layer.  Coming next will be the jacket video and then one on winter accessories, but for now, top and tights is the focus.

Like last time, this’ll send you to YouTube in hopes you can give me a few ratings and/or comments.

If you want one of the mocks, you can find the largest selection of colors at Eastbay: mens or womens.  Btw, a couple folks have asked what size I wear in those, which is a good question.  UA runs small so while I wear Small in every other manufacturer, I buy my UA tops in Medium.  So keep that in mind.

The Adidas Supernova Brushed Tights are last year’s model so they’re getting hard to find, though Holabird has them on closeout for men for only $39.95 in all sizes.  Even without the exact items, you get an idea of what to wear out there in the elements.  Also, for the record, I don’t wear those 2 pieces only or I’d be pretty damn stinky.  I own duplicates of both items and various other tights and half-zips, but these particular pieces are my favorite combo of all.

The Newsletter

Oooh, scary, sending my first one out today.  Just wanted to give you subscribers a heads-up that I’ve changed the email it’s coming from to the new URL (girlinmotion.com without the dashes) so if, when you signed up, you found the confirmation email in your spam folder and had to mark it as “not junk”, you’ll likely need to do it again with this new address.  Sorry about that.

OK, hope you don’t get sick of so much Floness in one day.  Later, kids!

Time for a video with some actual value.  This one is a demonstration and comparison of hydration belts and handhelds. I thought it might be worthwhile for those folks that haven’t yet dealt with the different methods for carrying water/sports drinks, especially the newbies, but even for the experienced souls who might not have considered all the options.

As always, the production values suck (I need to buy a proper light) and I did it in one take because it was too long to want to do again, lol, so please excuse any Alzheimers moments.

For the moment, I’m linking it directly to YouTube because I need to start getting some YouTube love in their rankings, so if you guys and gals want to help out, please rate the video or even comment there – that’d be super cool.   Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this one!

Handhelds and Hydration Belts – A demonstration and Comparison

I bought this shithead wig (that’s what it was called in the catalog) about 25 years ago for Halloween but never wore it.  It’s one of my pride and joys and now that I have a captive audience, what better way to show it off than with an quasi-educational video about poop and pee?  Enjoy.

You guys are going to have to excuse me big time here -- I got a new toy to add some variety to this blog and while I’m adept at voice acting, I’ve never done camera work so please bear with me. I’m bound to get better as it goes, but for now I’m just blathering to get one in the books.  One of my life lessons these days is “don’t tweak to perfection, just get it out there” so that’s what this is. Sorry for the crappy resolution, next time I’ll use the right settings.

Also, I just joined Twitter after poo-poohing it since its inception.  My first session of the Marketing webinar taught me how useful it can be for those of us with blogs and websites, so I caved. It’s kind of cool, though I still feel like I don’t know what the hell’s going on when I’m there.  Anyway, my Twitter name is FloInMotion if anyone wants to follow me.  Not sure how exciting it’ll be but one can always hope.

OK, enough stalling…public humiliation for your viewing pleasure.
