Three Things Thursday, Plus A Few

After a whirlwind weekend, it took my body most of the week to calm down and refocus on the things ahead. Not having anything to do on Tuesday and Wednesday evening was nice, which meant Brayden and I could stay at home and just simply chill. I took full advantage of it and I loved it!

In the mean time, I thought about writing a "three things Thursday" post, but all these random thoughts kept coming to my head and I couldn't narrow it down to just three, so bear with me as my brain operates on more than one thing at a time (usually on five things at once).

#1 Hello Fresh

I received a really great deal in the mail that I couldn't pass up, so I bit. We've never tried a service like this before but are excited to! Our first box arrived yesterday and I can't wait to dig in! Definitely stay tuned for a review coming soon!

#2 Running Shoes

Mine pooped out on me. I realized my knee was bothering me more than normal and when I counted out the mileage, I realized that yep...it was definitely time for new ones. I haven't yet received mine from our local running store from the race I won back in April (they are on back order), so I had to check the stock pile in the back of my closet. Lo and behold, there was a pair there that I received as a gift from Christmas, just waiting on me. Oddly enough, they are the same exact color as my previous pair, so I'm going to have to figure out a way to not get them confused. Oh well...at least I like the color!

#3 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

So, every time I have Brayden in the car with me, I hear this sweet little voice from the back seat saying "Hot Dog! Hot Dog!" No, he's not hungry for a hot dog, he wants to hear the Hot Dog Song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and he knows it's on a CD in my car. (I mean really, how can I deny him?!) Lately, I've been heading to work (without Brayden in the car) and not paying attention to what's going on...then I realize that the Mickey Mouse CD is STILL playing in my car. Seriously. I made it halfway to work yesterday before I even realized it! (Insert face palm emoji here.) I can't be the only one this has happened to. Anyone else?

#4 Iced Coffee

Know the problem of having a PJ's Coffee very close to my Orangetheory gym?! I can stop in and have an iced coffee in the mornings after my workouts. Ok so that's not really a problem, actually. I really love their coffee and the flavors they offer are so good! It also hits the spot in the summer after a hard OT workout!

#5 4th of July Plans

I'm excited for the 4th of July, although having a holiday smack dab in the middle of a week kinda throws things off a bit. I'm planning on participating in our local 4th of July race and then seeing the fireworks that evening with a friend and our kids! It's shaping up to be a fun day!

Have you ever tried a mail delivery food service? What's your 4th of July plans?

Three Things Thursday (Running Favorites Style)

#1: Running Warehouse

I know I’ve spoken of Running Warehouse in the past but I have to share again!

Several years back, I began one-upping my running shoes – if I opened a box, I purchased a back-up box to hold on to until it was needed.

In doing this, I discovered that each time a new model of a shoe was released, Running Warehouse put the old models on sale.

As the icing on the cake, they occasionally  hold a “Warehouse Sale” where most shoes are 50% off.

This weekend, I happened to check on my current running shoe (the Mizuno Wave Inspires) and I was in luck!

Several colors were available in my size of the Wave Inspire, so I narrowed it down to two choices.

I received BOTH pairs of shoes for less than I would have paid for one pair at regular price, AND I received free two day shipping through Running Warehouse (always included)!

If you haven’t checked out Running Warehouse yet, make sure you do! They carry a wide array of items such as clothing, accessories, nutrition, etc.

Their 50% off Warehouse Sale is still going on, too! Here’s a link to the Women’s sale and a link to the Men’s sale.

#2 Disney Pandora

I’ve been eyeing the Disney Pandora bracelets and charms for a while, specifically the Disney Parks Pandora bracelet. I wanted to begin a collection of Disney charms, but the bracelets flew off the shelves and online like hot cakes! 

For our recent Anniversary, my husband surprised me not only with the Disney Parks Pandora bracelet but also the runDisney charm!

Needless to say, I was in shock but so completely excited! I have worn this baby everywhere I’ve gone (except work)…hah!

Love the runDisney charm!!

You can find Pandora charms and bracelets like the ones mentioned above throughout various Disney Parks, resorts, and Downtown Disney.

They are also available for purchase through the Disney Store online. You can find them here.

 

#3 Runners Feat

What’s that extra charm on my Pandora bracelet, you might ask? Well, in January at the Louisiana Half Marathon Expo, I came across a booth called Runners Feat. He specializes in all things races and jewelry!

After browsing the charms that were out for display, I began asking about other races and available charms. Prepared to go home and shop online, I tentatively asked about Disney events. Before I could even blink, a 39.3 Miles of Magic charm was placed in the palm of my hand.

Whoa.

Y’all. I know this man thought I was crazy. I wish my sister-in-law would have caught my reaction on camera because I know it was priceless.

The charm also includes a little castle which you can see in the photo below.

At the time I didn’t even own a Disney Pandora bracelet, but I purchased this charm knowing I eventually would!

Here’s a view of all sides of the same charm:

Check out his online store! He seriously carries charms for  a ton of races. If you don’t seem something there, email him and ask!

Also, you can find them on FB at Runners Feat.

What’s the best Expo find you’ve ever come across? Do you purchase running shoes online?

Please note: None of the above mentioned favorites were sponsored. I simply love all of these items and want to share the love with you, hoping you might find something you love, too!
