Tools of the trade

4+miles - We had a great outdoor run, with the exception of some "refreeze" on the trail where the balmy 32+ degree sun had warmed it, we had a clear path. And best of all? It is light out most of the run! A real treat. :-) Jonna, Kristin, Ken and I did the quick two mile out and back. Nothing too exciting to tell on this one. So, I'll include a couple photos of two essentials that have been getting me through my days recently. My reusable water bottle that NEVER spills and I haul it everywhere with me (got this at Costco... I have a love/hate relationship with Costco. My parents have a love only relationship with Costco and my Costco card). Also in the pic; my night time reading and inspiration, Shape Magazine. Sidenote: I love reading about the exercises but never do them. I know, lame. Favorite part: the 2 before/after stories they always feature each month. Love those. Who doesn't like a success story? Least favorite: the "skinny "shape readers profile on the back. Seriously? Not inspirational. And the second Pic to the right is the breakfast tea from Harrod's in London that a colleague, Paula, brought when visiting us in NYC recently from the UK. Splash of milk and a splenda packet = Yummy!
