my new {running} toy.

December 28, 2011 by Hillary 11 Comments

Hey there! Wow, what a whirlwind of a holiday weekend! I can not believe it’s already Wednesday.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was filled with a lot of family + A LOT of food. I’m a little behind the game with my blog posting, so I hope you don’t mind if I chat about Christmas. I’m still in holiday mode.

Since I didn’t get a Running Tuesday post up yesterday, I figured I’d tell ya about the toys Santa left me under the tree today, Workout Wednesday.

Yes, yes… I did get a new pair of Asics 2160s in neon pink! This would be pair #7 — love this shoe.

But, more excitingly… the watch. I’ve been drooling over this thing for months, and let me tell you, it’s even more incredible in person.

Yes, it’s large (compared with my original Nike running watch), but I don’t think it’ll slow me down ;)

Let’s go!

Not only is the watch uh-mazing, with the large screen and customizable features, but the most fun part is the Nike+ Connect software. The watch has a USB “chip” built into the wristband, so when you’re done with your run, you can upload the information to your computer to analyze every step/every second of your run.

Be still my heart.

 

Nike+ has taken the idea of DailyMile to a whole new level. I am stoked to train for Half-Marathon No. 6 with my new neon toys!

Did Santa bring you any new running toys?

What type of watch do you run with?

Have a good day, y’all!

    Looks like so much fun! I got a watch for Christmas too! But, it’s a Garmin.

    Those shoes are so cute! Love the bright pink! A new watch and new shoes; no better motivation to get outside and run! Have fun!

    That’s cool – much like a Garmin, but maybe with a few more options it seems. Pretty cool!

    What a cool watch! I got the Garmin Forerunner that I had been pining over for over a year! :-P I’m still getting the hang of it, but I love using it to track my runs!

    How awesome… I’m super jealous! I only have a polar heartrate monitor. I keep meaning to invest in a gps watch… maybe a graduation present this spring!? I’ll have to look into Nike watches!

      Yes! I highly recommend the Nike+ SportWatch — it’s super simple + the software is super cool!

    I got a Garmin 210 for Christmas. Since I don’t run super long or super fast or every single day, it’s perfect (and a little less expensive) for when I hit the pavement. I love that it tracks my pace, time and distance without too much complication!

    Yours is super pretty though!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
