Shoe Woes Update: Pink Power

September 19, 2012 | fitness, injury, running

 

Y’all, I am so excited. My new ASICS came in Tuesday and I was able to take them out for a spin on Wednesday. It was just a quick three miles, but that’s ok. Thanks for all your help with my shoe woes one and two posts.  Check out how it went in the vlog below, then scroll down to see my sweet new shoes. I am in love!

Don’t forget you can subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

Aren’t they obnoxiously bright? Love them!

Talk about #SweatPink! I wore lots of pink on my run to match my new shoes. Hey, I’m “running with sass” for a reason!

Here is the full running outfit I wore:

QOTD: If you could design a pair of running shoes what colors would they be?

    Love those shoes! I’m glad you chose the Asics, they’ve been my favorites forever! I would design multi-non colored shoes. I bought a pair of New Balance 960s simply because they were so beautiful!

      haha sounds like something I would do!

    Love the pink. I wish that I had an all pink outfit. I have such huge feet I can never find pink ones. So jealous. You run in style for sure!

    • Heather says

      September 20, 2012 at 11:35 am

      you should try the asics!

    Anyone else think she looks amazing in that video?

      She is beautiful. You guys are so cute together. Someday my husband and I will be the healthy together. I need to get there and then I can start helping him! He does love to run with me so that is a bonus. How long have you guys been married?

      • Heather says

        September 20, 2012 at 1:26 pm

        we have been married 5.5 years 🙂 Wow now I feel old!
        You can do it, baby steps!

    Those are some sweet looking shoes! My ideal pair would be a combo of red and purple 🙂

    Hi Heather,
    they look amazing. I really love the bright pink and it suits you quite well:) I do hope that they don’t cause you any more foot distress!

    Hi Heather:

    Thanks for the update. I just bought these shoes for the Disney Princess Half next February. 🙂

    I don’t know if I have a specific color for shoes, it all depends on the fit for me. I currently have Asics 2170s and they are slate gray with pink and neon green trim. One of my friends absolutely loves pink and I told her if she started running she could have some really pink shoes.

    • Heather says

      September 20, 2012 at 11:33 am

      haha thats good motivation for her!

    I love your blog. I am a pink girl too. I want to get those asics!!! Where do you get all the cute running skirts?

    • Heather says

    LOVE the brightness! I showcased my new shoes on my site today and they are bright yellow! These colors have been alll the rage lately!

  13. Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says

    September 20, 2012 at 1:30 pm

    I love your adorable accent! And your shoes are so cute! I love all the pink. Although it shows how new I am to running when you say just three miles and I think girl that’s a big deal! haha I hope these shoes work well for you for your long runs!

    Love the pink shoes.. Sweatpink for sure! I am struggling finding shoes that I am in love with.. Glad you found your pair!

  16. Courtney says

    September 20, 2012 at 2:12 pm

    love the pink! I’m totally on board with all the neon trends right now!

  17. Kasey Shuler @ Well of Health says

    So cute! If I could design my own shoes they would be gray with some nice green neon accents 🙂

    September 20, 2012 at 9:07 pm

    I have those shoes and LOVE them. I have always worn asics and switched to the Nimbus a few years ago…..best decision! I have tried many other brands but they end up in a pile in my closet.

    I have a thing for obnoxiously bright shoes too!

    I’ve been moving back to more neutral shoes and trying out a lower heel to toe drop. I picked up some Saucony Rides and Brooks PureFlow to slowly start adding into rotation with the Lunarglides (which I’ve noticed with longer runs aren’t staying as comfortable for my hips/ITB). Here’s hoping we both find that perfect fit and the changes work magic.

  20. Tabitha says

    September 21, 2012 at 1:42 pm

    Those are the shoes I am getting next! I just bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 5, but I going back for those exact same shoes! I love them, and it was hard to leave them, but I was leery changing shoes so close to a race.

  21. Jeanette K. says

    September 21, 2012 at 5:12 pm

    Are those the Kayano? I’ve been running in my pink ones 🙂 Love your outfit, too. Running always feels better when you’re wearing something cute.

    The QOTD is pretty tough since there are soooo many great running shoe colors out there. The real trick is finding the best shoe with the best color. I wish you could select a style and then have it made with whatever color combo you liked. One can only dream 😀

    • Heather says

      September 21, 2012 at 9:13 pm

      they are the gel nimbus 14’s. 🙂

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
