Water Bobble

For Christmas, my sister S got me a Water Bobble. These BPA-free bottles intrigued me due to the fact that it has a built-in filter. They are normally $10 and are cute to boot.


Look at the pet food in the back! Also, I'm wearing a running hoodie that I got from "The Ukrainian" for Christmas!

Here's an example of a replacement filter that sister K got me... near an old photo! Replacements cost about $7 and last about 2 months. Certainly cheap considering the cost of clean water sometimes!

Overall, these are great for those on the go and drink from lots of water fountains. Being one of those people myself, I always worry about what I'm doing to my kidneys. I am usually having issues with my kidney health tests and am trying to keep my water intake as clean as possible (especially if I ever decide to have kids -- a must).

The only con is that the water comes out a bit slow from the top, so I can't guzzle as quickly as I'd like. Also, it's a bit too fat for most of my cup-holders, but it makes up for that in cuteness.

    Love the water bobble concept. I also like that you post your weekly workouts, nothing like accountability.

    Interesting. Most of the water I fill my water bottle with is already filtered, but it is a cool gadget to keep in mind!

    Cool water bottle! It would be nice to keep one of those at my desk for drinking water at work.

    I love using a water bottle--or in your case bobble. :) Makes me drink way more water during the day!

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
