Gear: Water Bottle

 the alex water bottle via design milk

my gripe with water bottles (especially the stainless steel kind) has always been that they are extremely difficult to clean.  enter the "Always Live EXtrodinarily" water bottle (alex for short) which unscrews into 3 parts, making the cleaning process much more easy...and thorough.  it comes in two sizes, a variety of colors (i'm partial to the black and hot pink combo) and of course, is BPA free, so drink up!

Gear: iPod nano

 

ipod nano by apple

sorry i have been m.i.a. for a while... busy prep for the holidays over at k:creates.  the good news is, santa was extremely generous and on top of getting a new digital SLR (!!!), I also received a 16GB ipod nano - in pink!  goodbye to that old generation zero nano that can't hold a charge and hello to great music on long runs!  so excited to try this puppy out... all that's missing is one killer playlist... stay tuned...

Gear: Foam Roller

definitely could have used a foam roller when I was training for my marathon.  maybe for the next one i'll get TriggerPoint's Grid foam roller - its gotten excellent reviews and my calves are already calling....

Gear: Band-Aid MP3

i love it when two of my worlds collide... and today, sustainability met sport.  The Skinny Player is a band-aid sized mp3 player that is powered by body heat.  get out!  and run cord-free.  :-)
