Everything we do in a day takes time. Getting ready for work, cooking, cleaning, even Facebook use part of the 24 hours we are allotted each day. People often use the excuse of not having enough time to skip exercise. The truth be told, how we use time is somewhat dictated by the stage of life we currently enjoy, but there is usually some time dictated by our own choices. Before you worry that this post is going to be a sermon about making better choices, let me share with you one way I save minutes in my day to use for running...QVC! More people shop from QVC than you'd probably guess. The age of infomercials selling bogus products put a shameful spin on shopping from TV, but QVC carries the same brand name products you'd buy in department stores and you just call or jump online and the UPS guy shows up in a few days. It's awesome! My most recent purchase was today's TSV (today's special value). Since I buy cosmetics from time to time, I got an opportunity to order early. Here is what came in the box. Kits are generally the best value, but only if you can use most/all the products. Here is my before and after. The before was right after my run. Charlie thinks it's fun to kiss sweaty runners🐶. I find shopping stressful sometimes between finding the right products, dealing with the other customers and parking. Online is so convenient for many reasons, but saving the time and energy of going to the store is huge for me. More time for running!👣 My long run with the race pace miles went pretty well this morning. Chunks of it were into a strong NW wind which I did not enjoy, but overall, I was satisfied. The Earth Day Half Marathon is coming up April 22, so about 5 weeks left to train! Stephanie and I decided that our race reports will include a lot more than the race itself. We want our followers to know how we liked the cost, quality of shirt, ease of getting to the start and even the post race food. The runners hoping to win are most concerned about the actual race, but those of us looking for an athletic endeavor as well as a social outing are looking for different things! Hopefully our opinions can point you to a race you'd like to do in the future.
Happy running! Missee
