Lululemon’s new line is out and they must be smoking some serious weed up in Vancouver because they have debuted a $98 running outfit that has had me scratching my head and trying to figure out why all day long.
They call it the RUNSIE. It is a Running Onsie. A Running Romper. A Running Jumpsuit.
Just think about that for a moment.
Now think about long training runs and races.
Now think about public bathrooms and porta potties.
Sunday was my 2nd consecutive OC half marathon. I have to say, this is one of my favorite courses. It runs through Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, and Costa Mesa and it is a pretty, although often congested, course. But the seaside setting and amazing homes make the congestion not even noticeable.
Also, this is a runner’s race– no big walking blocks of people like in a Disney race. (Sure people walk, but they know course etiquette.)
It was so fun heading to the race with a friend (hi Destany!), running into friends at the start line (hi Denise, Claudia, and Kent!), and running into friends on the course (hi Damaris!). We are from Oceanside, the Inland Empire, Redondo Beach, Tustin, Bakersfield, and West Hollywood, yet we are all part of the So Cal/Los Angeles running community and I just love having friends that love to run and love our local races as much as I do.

Race #22 was the American River Parkway half marathon in Sacramento.
I decided to drive up as I had not yet taken my new (November) car on a road trip. I left on Friday and managed to traverse 394 miles in under 5 hours and I swear I was not even speeding that much!
Packet pickup was at Fleet Feet Sports in downtown Sacto and it was pouring down rain. More than pouring, it was a torrential downpour.
I was pleasantly surprised by the race shirt- a new balance top with a v neck and in ladies cut. And I managed to get out of fleet feet only buying a hat (hat says run happy on it) in case of rain the next day. I knew I could run in rain but not in my usual visor.
Next stop was my hotel where I prepped for the Saturday morning run, did a little work, and relaxed. Read more
Saturday I will be running my 22nd half Marathon since September 1, 2012. It is also my seventh half Marathon of 2014.
I’m looking forward to testing myself on this course. It is runners only course, a race that has a separate course for the walkers. I know how I am when I am around people who are just a bit faster than me. I tend to keep up and I know I have more speed in me than I usually exhibit.

By now, you’ve surely seen the brou ha ha relating to SELF Magazine running a picture of two LA Marathon runners in tutus and mocking them. The magazine contacted Monika Allen, who co-founded Glam Runner, which makes fun and gorgeous tutus FOR CHARITY and asked to use the photo. Monika sits on the board of the San Diego chapter of Girls on the Run, a charity that inspires young women to maintain healthy, active lifestyles.
She’s raised about $5,600 for Girls on the Run by making 2,000 tutus over the past three years.
Wearing these with an aqua top and purple 3/4 zip jacket. I’m nothing if not colorful when I run.
I love these
With crazy print leggings.
Pink top. Need to pick a running skirt. Then the jacket that goes with it. The outfit and how I feel in it can set the whole tone for the race.
The latest pair of crazy pants.
Eat, Sleep, Run... Wine!
