NOOOOOO.. Not the FLU!!!

Yep, what started as a little cough on Thursday night for Lil Man, turned into a low grade fever by midnight with a full blown storm by morning. I took him to the pediatrician and they did a flu test. He tested positive for the flu. You've got to be kidding me right?!? He had the shot so I'm hoping that will help him.

But this came out of no where, as I suppose most sickness does. But as many of you know, I'm about to peak in my training for the marathon. Today was supposed to be 17 miles. My Lil Man was just too sick for me to leave him. So I've pushed the run off until tomorrow, and hoping I will be able to leave him long enough to get it in. Next week is my one (and only) 20 miler. I've been snotted on, sneezed on, and had his slobbery fingers in my mouth. So, all I can do at this point is take care of him, hope he gets to feeling better soon, and hope that Hubby and I don't get it.

I currently have a slight sore throat and a pounding headache, but no fever. I'm hoping this is just from the lack of sleep as Hubby and I were up most of the night last night.

My Marathon is 4 weeks from today.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.

Pro Compression Marathon Socks Review & #Giveaway!

*affiliate links Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. If you know me, or have been following my blog for awhile, then you know that I am a firm believe in compression. Last year, I started having calf cramps, and my running buddies suggested calf sleeves. I listened and I am so very glad that I did! And honestly, I won't run without using compression. And once my run is over, I will usually 9 times out of 10 put on a pair of Pro Compression Marathon Socks for recovery. (FYI, I also love their low trainers to run in) Sshhh.. don't tell Hubby but I have an entire drawer full of Pro Compression socks. And well, I wear them everywhere - grocery shopping, preschool, you name it.
