Suddora for the sweaty win!

Taking a short break from the overload of awesomeness that is the profiles of the team Good Girls Gone Trail to share my deep dark secret.....
....I excel at sweating. Okay that isn't very much of a secret. 
Paul over at Suddora Sweatbands emailed me after he noticed my chronic sweaty situation to ask if I would be interested in trying out his sweatbands. Being willing to try anything that will help with the sweating produced by all this running I of course said yes. He was nice enough to send my two favorite colors.


I was skeptical when they first arrived I was a bit skeptical as they reminded me of a rockin 80s workout video at first glance.

But when I put them on they are kind of like pure magic. They are soft, work well and wash up well. The wash part is particularly important as they do a superb job at absorbing sweat.
I wore the headband and the wrist bands on my 22 mile sweat fest where I overdressed and sweated through a shirt and a jacket. The sweatband worked really well at keeping the sweat I was pouring out of my eyes. The other thing it worked well at doing is being an ear warmer. When I started the run it was very cold out and the sweatband was awesome at keeping my ears warm until it warmed up and then it switched over to awesome sweat catcher.

 I was kind of at a loss at first on what to do with the wrist bands but they worked great as a tissue (oh you all know your nose runs too when it is cold out) and then worked great at wiping my brow as the cold turned to warm.

After a nice wash, I pulled them out for a treadmill run. Running on the treadmill in the warm basement produces some awesome sweating. These wrist bands are the bomb at the brow wipe as well as the sweat running down the arm absorber.

Overall I am a big fan. Check out their website for the variety of colors and other products they offer. They are very reasonably priced and come in lots of fun colors. They also have great customer service and ship your items pronto.

Thanks Paul and Suddora for allowing me to review your great product!

    Oh, I wonder if Paul would like us to model and promote his sweat bands on our relay run? I could see that in our future!!

    I've been thinking about wearing wrist bands when I run to help get the sweat that drips beyond my headband. My headband does a really good job but if it's a humid out, I need more help and the back of my hand wet with sweat doesn't help! LOL

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

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

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
