new looks from new balance + new balance fashion fitness expo

April 3, 2017      2 Comments

I was gifted the following items from New Balance in association with my partnership with Publix Savannah Women’s Half Marathon and 5K. All opinions are my own.

It’s almost time!

In less than a week, runners will be arriving in Savannah and heading to the New Balance Fashion Fitness Expo to pick up their race packets,

and then to shop at booths manned by some of Savannah’s favorite local purveyors. From there, athletes will find themselves at the New Balance area, which will be fully stocked with the latest in running gear, race logo apparel and a full complement of New Balance running shoes.

Over the last year, I have become a huge fan of New Balance’s running clothes. I love the light and airy fabrics, the flattering cuts and draping, and the attention to detail. The colors and styles are both fashionable and functional, and they stand up well to washing.

In the meantime, I had the opportunity to try out a new look!

Check this out!

All in all, I found the ensemble well-suited to me. It was light enough for a warm Florida day, and comfortable for both running and yoga.

Heathered Short Sleeve Tee (alpha violet heather)

While we don’t have too much call for t-shirts in Florida, this heathered short sleeve fits the bill. It is so light and the material skims the body without clinging.

Since I am on the taller side (just under 5’10”) with a long torso, I appreciated that the tee hit at a good point on my hip, and didn’t ride up if I moved or extended my arms.

The moisture wicking was on point, too, and I really liked how the flat seams were totally unnoticeable.

Accelerate Capris (black)

I was really impressed by these capris. The material felt really thin, but once I had them on, they fit smoothly and flattered my curves. I loved the length, and while I initially thought the waistband would be too narrow, it fit nicely and the drawstring was easy to adjust.

There is also an inner, back pocket, which is perfect for a gel or key.

They didn’t ride down while I was running, either, which is a huge factor in my capri purchases.

I liked the reflective details on the legs, as well.

(Please note – these pants do run a little large, so please take that into account when purchasing).

Fresh Foam Zante v3 (Black with Thunder)

I was really excited to try out the shoes. I confess, my go-to shoes are stability models, so I know that these neutrals would be more for work and walking around than for running, but they are incredibly comfortable.

For one thing, they are super light and flexible. I also loved the feel of the Fresh Foam. It’s soft, but also responsive. The 6mm offset is a little lower than what I normally wear, but I didn’t feel like I was positioned too low to the ground.

While my overpronation would prevent me from wearing the Zantes for anything longer than short bursts of running, I loved the feel of the Fresh Foam cushion and would absolutely purchase a stability model in the future.

I am definitely looking forward to treating myself to a new outfit this year!

Don’t forget, online registration for the Publix Savannah Women’s Half Marathon & 5K ends on Wednesday, April 5 at 11:59PM Eastern. That means there’s still time to take advantage of this great savings!

Do you have a favorite piece of New Balance gear?

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
