Yesterday after work I went to Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods for shopping a a little shopping trip. It wasn’t a large shopping trip, but I had a blast anyway. First I had to stop by Target and return a bridesmaid dress that didn’t fit me for my friend Lauren’s wedding. I purchased two sizes online and had to return the one that didn’t look as great.
After getting my money refunded, I of course had to spend it again. I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get a running hat for Saturday. The weather originally said it would rain (now the percentage went down a bit), so I needed a hat that would keep my head dry! At this point if it rains or not, I’m still going to wear it because it’s so cute.
It’s actually from a Storm-Fit hat from the Nike Golf line.
- According to the tag, Storm-Fit “helps resist water to keep you drier and more comfortable in moderate weather conditions.”
- 100% polyester
- Waterproof and windproof
- $30.00
Even though I’ve worked in marketing and I know that stores place items directly next to the register to get a last minute sale, I still get trapped into it! I’m a marketers dream. When I was checking out, I saw a few shelves of sport chews/GUs etc. I used to eat the Clif Bar Shot Blox last year when I started running, but I wasn’t a huge fan. This time around I went for something I knew I’d most definitely enjoy. Sport jelly beans!
Jelly Belly Extreme Sport Beans
- Contains vitamins B, C, electrolytes, and caffeine
- Each serving contains 50mg of caffeine (about the amount in 1/2 a cup of coffee)
- approximately $1.20 per package
Another item that I’ll be rocking on Saturday is my new pair of Pro Compression argyle marathon socks. Sometimes I think that if I wear them, I’ll be able to run a marathon one day. Here’s to hoping 
. The socks are in transit right now, but I should get them in the mail any day now. You all know how much I love Pro Compression socks!

How exciting that the race is so soon!!! I have tried compression capris and loved them but haven’t had a chance to try the compression socks yet. I get a lot of calf tightness so I think they would help!
I am so excited for runners world! I’m wearing a super cute outfit from Road Runner Sports that includes a long sleeve running tee, running capris, and compression socks. I’m almost as excited to wear that as I am to run!
I haven’t tried compression anything yet, but I hear such good things. I’ve been eyeing socks and shorts; hopefully I’ll get some soon.
you are going to have so much fun at this run! I love that hat! I love Target. I haven’t had those sport beans! I must find them! good luck!
When I run….if I run I’m a BANDANNA gurl.
