Pushups, Pasta, & Pinot Grigio

Hello Hello!

I wanted to share a little Arm Circuit Workout I put together! I’ve been talking a lot about my running and focusing on my lower body, but I don’t want to forget about my arms either. After all, with the NYC weather forecast (90 degrees today!), I’m sure I won’t be covering them up with sweaters anytime soon.

I complete below circuits 1, 2, and 4 with 10-pound dumbbells. (Of course, I’m no doctor or certified trainer, so just use what works best for your arms!)

So, want to know what I’m spending my money on today? 

During my past few runs I’ve realized that it’s probably time to purchase a new pair of running shoes. I’ve had my current pair for several months now and I’m just starting to feel a slight ache or fatigue in my feet on my longer runs – that’s always when I know it’s time to invest in a new pair!

I love Asics, they just seem to work best with my flat feet. I’ve gone to running stores, talked to the consultants, hopped on a treadmill there with different shoes while they videotaped my strides, and keep coming back to this brand. Hey, gotta go with what feels best on those feet of yours, right?

I was just about to bite the bullet and head to Foot Locker or an Asics store to buy a new pair when I got a glorious email. There’s an Asics Sample Sale going on near my office this week! (Check it out if you’re in the NYC area and love Asics too!)

Last time I went to one, I purchased a pair of $150 sneaks for $60! All because they were an older style…pshhh. I still loved them. So I’m headed back there today over lunch to see if I could find something that strikes my fancy. I’ll keep you posted! 🙂

Question for you:

What running shoe works best for you?
