Z Glove

Not long ago I was walking around the expo the day before the Surf City Marathon and came
upon a booth that was selling these "Z Glove", I know, so catchy right? Anyways, I talked to the
people manning the booth and tried it on and took some pamphlets but did not buy them.

When I got home, and especially the next morning in the torrid rain that has now made the Surf
City Marathon that day be renamed to Soak City. I really wish I would've had these puppies that morning. It was so cold! Anyways, some months later while I was walking around the LA
Marathon
expo, I saw the booth again and this time around I purchased a pair. I dunno, maybe
it was impulse, maybe it was nerves about the marathon, who knows. Also, who knows why I
purchased it in hot pink, but I did. And I have since wore this pair of Z Glove(s) a couple of
times. They are really nice. As the guy at the booth corrected me, they are not arm warmers.

They are compression wear. Something to do with bloodflow to the arm and other such
interesting things. Here is their website, I'm sure they will explain it much better than me.
http://www.thezglove.com/home.php They also come in lots of different colors. I mean, not a
ton, but enough to match all your outfits. Here is a photo of me and my hot pink Z Gloves doing
some serious lifting, NOT!


I think the great thing about these gloves is that they stay up and do not move unless you move
them. And each glove has a thumb hole, so you can wear it hooked onto your thumbs for arm
and hand coverage or tucked under for just arm coverage. I will most likely buy another pair if I
see them at another expo. This time, maybe in black or white. My favorite colors..hehe.

Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

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

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
