On the way home from the gym yesterday I stopped at my favorite store in the world….Nordstrom Rack! Over the years I have found so many awesome, high quality, CHEAP things there that I love!
Woo hoo.
Well…..I will let you in on a little secret.
Maybe I’ll regret putting it out there. But, because I love you all I will tell you!
Nordstrom Rack is the best place ever to buy running shoes!!
Love it!
Kev and I have bought several pairs there. They always have a great selection of high quality running shoes and have GREAT deals!
So, this is what I found yesterday….
Eeeee! I feel like a little kid at Christmas! Oh, and the best part is they retailed for $139 and I got them for $79!
How ’bout them apples???
Kev and I both really love Asics. They have always been great running shoes for us. However, you just gotta find what works for YOU. My bro-in-law always wears Saucony and my sis loves Nike. Whatever works.
Oh, and if you aren’t a mega runner or are just getting into running, Nordstrom Rack has a lot of cheaper options too. I found several pairs of Asics that were in the $40-$50 range (regularly priced about $80 or so).
And….if you don’t live by a Nordstrom Rack, I also found my exact same running shoes online at 6pm.com. They are $84 (free shipping!) there. I really love 6pm too. Love a good deal!
So there’s my little secret.
Happy shopping….and happy running!
*********************************
This morning I was going to go on a 3 mile run with my 8 year old son. Sooo, I woke him up and he said he was just too tired. 🙁 However, a little while later he came down and said, “Let’s go!” So, we both scrambled to get ready to go, but we didn’t have a lot of time. We only ran a mile and a half and then I had to get home to get the kids off to school.
Very lame, but I’m still glad we went! So, we plan to run again after he gets home from school. Pain in the bum….but fun.
This is what I had for breakfast this morning!!!
I love love love Protein Pancakes! I’m sorry to say I’m not ready to put the recipe on here yet. I’m still tweakin’ it a bit. It’s almost there…..when I finally get it right I will share it with y’all (of course!) In the meantime, you can enjoy the other Protein Pancake recipe I put on here. I love them too!
This breakfast tastes more like a treat, but it’s good for you!!! Love it!
*********************
Finally, on a sad note….I am going to take a short leave of absence for a bit.
Here’s my deal….I’m in the process of moving my blog. I love WordPress.com, but it is very limited with what I can and cannot do. Sooooo, I’m moving to WordPress.org and it is a royal pain.
I’m building a lot of the site myself and learning as I go. Makes for a fun deal.
As you can imagine, I’m having a hard time finding the time to build my new blog and keep this one updated! Auuughh! Sooooo, I’m going to take a brief “leave of absence” from this one while I finish the new one!!!
However, when my new blog is finished, I hope you will all love it! I’m going to update all my recipes and make it easier to navigate. I also want to update my exercise section too. It will be great!
Sooooo, until then I will miss you all!
Stay healthy and happy….mmmm k?

OMG your meal looks like it could be served at a breakfast diner! A HEALTHY breakfast diner! OMG, why are there no such places? LOL. If you decide to open one, I will invest too! 🙂

I have to say I’m honestly nervous about not having the inspiration readily available. Hopefully it won’t be too long that you’re gone?
Melanie says
You are so sweet Amy! I’m glad we’re doin’ our little health challenge together though! I don’t want my break to be too long either….I’m thinking a month MAX. Email me anytime. I love you tons.
