Race Day Ready #5 for the ladies- Handful Sports Bra and many many more!

Anyone else been on the quest for the perfect sports bra?  Have you gotten to the point where money is (almost) no object because all you want is a sports bra that fits and functions properly and you don't care how much it costs?

Well, me too.

I am pretty sure I have at least fifteen different sports bras- no actually closer to twenty.  Almost every brand you can imagine.  I am glad to say that I have found ONE that is just right.

This is the perfect bra.
I was incredibly tempted to edit this photo.  But I won't. 

Handful sent me a bra to try.  I was very skeptical.  I am more about comfort, fit and function than I am about fashion when it comes to my running gear.  Many reviews boasted more about how great this bra looks, rather than how great it was to wear during a long sweaty run.  And lets face it, after a marathon, one can only look so uhm... great.  When I'm running, the only aesthetic issues (which equally double as comfort issues) I am concerned with are:

Do I have a wedgie?

Are my shorts riding up?

Is my bra TIGHT enough so that nothing is moving around, but not so tight that I look like I struggled to squeeze into it?

Winner of Not My Problem #4 (Emjoi Micro Pedi)

I am so bummed that I only have one Emjoi Micro Pedi to give away.

Choosing a winner was so difficult, that I kind of wussed out. I had to ask a completely unbiased person who is not familiar with this blog or my usual readers/fellow bloggers to choose a winner for me.

This week's winner is MouseRN as chosen by the person I chose to choose for me, in spite of the fact that she mentioned Zumba. (Do not take my Zumba disdain personally.) MouseRN, please contact me (there's a contact info tab right up there) and give me the address I can mail your Emjoi Micro Pedi to. I do really like this thing and I hope you do too.

I really enjoyed reading everyone's reasons for running (and other activities you are all passionate about. You certainly inspired me.

Not My Problem #4 (hey hey another giveaway!!!)

I stopped getting pedicures. I often assess my feet and wonder if I could walk in to my former usual pedicure spot and not be completely uncomfortable with someone seeing the state of my feet.

All right. I'll admit that they're not THAT bad. Anymore. But they were when I only had 8.5 toenails. During the height of my pedicure days, I never took notice of how toenail-less feet were handled during a pedicure. Now I KNOW that I couldn't possibly be the only person walking in there who was lacking toenails, but I really didn't want to have to explain myself or ask questions. (There is usually a nice language barrier to heap on top of all the awkward small talk that I suffer through during a pedicure so that is enough to seal my decision to boycott pedicures while lacking toenails...)

As I said, they aren't that bad. And rather than rambling onandonandon, I am just going to tell you why creepy looking runner girl feet are not my problem anymore. Three weeks ago, after I posted the Emjoi Epilator giveaway, the awesomely awesome amazing people at Emjoi decided to send me another product! They sent the Emjoi Micro Pedi- actually they sent two of them and insisted that I try one and give another away here!

I have callouses (not scary grandma bunion creepy callouses) on parts of my feet from running and NEVER wearing shoes unless I absolutely have to. This Micro Pedi thing is like a callous eraser. It smooths a callous away in seconds. Yes, it's magical. It's great for cracked/dry heels too. My husband ripped this out of the box and used it before I did. We now have feet that are lazy slacker couch potato soft!

Soooo.... Here we go again? Do you want one?

This time I only have one to give away. So give me something. Become a follower if you aren't already, and tell me why you run in the first place. What made you get up and say "I'm going to do this" and more significantly, what keeps you going especially when it sucks? If you don't run, I guess you can tell me about whatever you do that keeps you active instead. But for the love of all that is sacred, do not mention Zumba. (If you are a diehard Zumbaic, forgive me.)

I will pick a winner in a week. Please make sure that you check back to see if you won!
