Again inspired by SUAR – Here is my list:

1.  Pro Compression Marathon Socks

I have them in argyle blue and hot pink.  They were on sale for half price.  I got them while I was injured.  I plan to wear them a lot.  My right calf is sore because I am favoring my dominant leg.  Also my left ankle still swells.  I hope these socks help me continue to run, run faster, run stronger.

2. Chocolate Cream of Wheat

I ALWAYS eat hot cereal for breakfast.  It is also my pre-race breakfast.  I use 2 packages, add water and cook in the microwave.  Then I add some milk to cool it.  The chocolate feeds my sweet tooth.  It says  that it includes 9 essential vitamins so it is semi healthy, right?

3.  Archer Farms Bottled Lattes

They are basically bottled Frappuccinos with the word “latte” slapped on the label. Regardless of the name, they taste very similar to Starbucks brand Frappuccinos.  You can buy them at Target and they are much cheaper than the Starbuck’s brand.  I’ve tried many of the flavors – vanilla, pumpkin, mocha, chai, etc. I love them.  And they’re only 100 calories.

4.  Watching TV on my iPad

I think I watch TV on it more than I do on a regular TV.  Recently, I have been catching up on episodes of Revenge.   It has been a Godsend for the exercise bike and the treadmill at work when I couldn’t walk or run – I would watch Smash, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, The Good Wife – one episode at lunch and one after work. (Now you know what kinds of shows I watch.)

5. Liberte Mediterranee Yogurt

I started eating yogurt for the first time when I spent my junior year abroad in France.  I have been looking ever since (and it’s been a LONG time) for yogurt as good as the kind they make in France.  I finally found it!!  Coconut is my favorite. YUM!!

6. (just one extra) Running Skirts

I have quite a few running skirts but these two (from runningskirts.com) are my favorites by far.  The top one has compression shorts underneath.  It’s a little longer and it has a pocket on each side.  I was lucky to have received a gift card  for Christmas so I splurged on the top one and I won the bottom one in a raffle.
