Product Review: Aspaeris Pivot Shorts

I am completely and totally impressed with Aspaeris Pivot Shorts. 

I bought a pair when they had that awesome 50% off coupon code. They were shipped out right away and reached me within three days. I was skeptical when I opened the package and had itty, bitty, teeny tiny shorts fall out.



But they went on easily and felt great. I wore them for the Sedona Half
That is two thumbs up for the shorts!

And totally killed some hills and my legs felt fine after- thanks awesome and magical unicorn hairs shorts. I am sticking with that being the only explanation that would allow for these tiny shorts to fit on my bootyliciousness (thank you Beyonce for that Webster's dictionary expansion) and not cut off all circulation. They made my IT band problem go away and my hip feel less sore, two injuries that I have been trying to ignore  deal with.  I have also recently worn them spinning and they work great for that as well.

But tragedy struck and the string I noticed when I first got them that was dangling turned into a seam that started to unravel, leaving me with a hole after only one wash. I emailed the customer service division on a Saturday night. Sunday morning by 8a.m. Bonnee had emailed me back apologizing and saying they would send me a new pair right away. They arrived in the mail today. I did a happy dance at the mailbox, in broad daylight. Um that kind of customer service never happens. I am impressed.

I know of multiple people who have these shorts and have not had a single problem so I am pretty sure the seam unravel issue was just a freak accident. I now dream of a day when I have a pair of these shorts in every color and for every occasion. 

Thank you Aspaeris Pivot Short from Samara Innovations. A great product and great customer service.

Disclaimer: I was not paid, bribed or forced in any way to sing these praises. I feel that awesome customer service can be a rare gem these days and should be given honorable mention and since I have created my own little shout out forum I am mentioning. Now buy some.

Training Week 10/9/2017-10/15/2017....or lack of...

Image
....not to give the ending away but this week was a bit of a bust. Last weekend I felt under the weather and by Monday- bam- felt like death. And that freakin cold was a stage 5 clinger and really lingered. SO. MUCH. COUGHING. Monday: Nothing but naps, and couch time. Luckily this guy was around to keep me company. Tuesday: A light weight workout at home. Skipped my scheduled run due to lack of ability to breath without hacking up a lung. Wednesday: Tried to get back on the wagon. Did 2 miles on the treadmill with 8 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds recovery thrown in. Coughed so hard I almost puked. Got off treadmill and laid on floor. Did manage to lift weights during lunch. Bonus points for me. Thursday: After a night of coughing, reset my alarm and slept in until 7. Ran 3 miles outside in the evening with 3 minute run/ 1 minute walk. Felt good until the last mile and then that walk break began to creep up in time as the coughing and snot production increased. But it got don...

Wisconsin Marathon Race Review

Image
First things first- I loved the Wisconsin marathon. It was a great race and I had a ton of fun. I achieved my goal of finishing in under 5 hours and I guess have a new marathon PR by about 43 minutes.....even though this one is seven years after my first marathon. Most importantly there never came a time when I was running the marathon where I regretted my decision to run one. Miles toward the end got tough and uncomfortable but as one lady I ran with exclaimed "hey we are running a marathon today! This is awesome!" It was awesome and I am super excited for my next attempt at 26.2 miles. To the details! Packet Pick-up: packet pick-up was low key at the Best Western in Kenosha the day before the race. In and out in about five minutes with number, t-shirt, cheese samples and a bag full of flyers for other races. This race has two other packet pick-ups on different days near Chicago and one near Milwaukee. They make it easy to get your number. I love the design of the ra...

The forever taper

Image
The weird thing about running all of the marathons and half marathons in a month and a half's time is that it really throws off the normal schedule of working out. I haven't been lifting cause I don't want to hurt myself and because I need all the power my under trained body can muster to finish the next two marathons on the schedule. Getting burnt out on lifting seems not smart right now.  I also haven't been running very much unless it involves a finish line and a medal because I am worried about doing too much and my tendinitis coming back and frankly I have just been tired and sore from doing a marathon and then a half back to back. I did three miles this morning and it took forever and I was just not interested in running at all. Completing three miles took all of my willpower. Not doing anything physical has left me with some extra time on my hands which I have used to catch up on some reading. This book is dark but as I read on I liked it more and ...
