Remember when I was all shady a few months ago and had that camera crew in my apartment but couldn’t tell you why?
Well, now I can! Walgreens came over and gave my medicine cabinet a makeover. Watch the video below. (Apparently I am the “athlete” of the bunch of people they gave medicine cabinet makeovers to. Old me is laughing.)
I was given a serious chiding for not properly closing some of my vitamin bottles and for having expired products, but otherwise the pharmacist, Stacia (who is awesome), was generally pretty happy with the selection of vitamins and products in my medicine cabinet. She suggested just taking a multi-vitamin and then supplementing with a calcium supplement (she said Adora was fine!) since I don’t eat much dairy.
She made a good point about injury–if I do get injured while running (which I hope never happens, but you never know), I don’t want to have to go hobble out to get the things that will help me feel better, so they left me with vitamins, ibuprofen, an Ace bandage, cold packs, adhesive bandages, a knee brace and heating pads…and they’re going to provide these for one of you, too!

No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

I tweeted! You are so zen in this video- love it :)
Just forget you're ON camera! I know, easier said than done. But at one or two points, you seemed to be very "aware" of being on, and you end up with that whole "is she talking to the people in the video, or the watchers" thing.
That said - you looked GOOD!!! I won't even mention the ums. I ::cough:: might have been guilty of that for quite a few years also.
Oh, and I take a daily gummy multivitamin, usually like Target's brand. Yes, adult gummies. I am secretly 10.
And, what the heck, I tweeted, too. Might as well have a trifecta. I could use a new heating pad.
Fun! I thought you did great on camera, and it was an interesting segment!
I usually only purge my meds when I move, and I always end up finding some seriously expired products. This may sound weird, but I think one of the problems I run into is that since I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, I don't get sick very often...so I have a lot of medications that go unused. I didn't get any colds this winter, but I'm sure next year when I need something I will find mostly full boxes of Sudafed, etc. that have all expired. #singlehealthygirlproblems, I guess ;)
smile more! I take a multi every day & fish oil liquid.
@deb: I agree with Deb - smiles are nice! Still - cool video - it's always nice to actually see/hear the person behind the blog I read daily.... I take a NatureMade Women's Multi... in a gel cap because it goes down easier.
@Hilary @ The Big Weight: Maybe I'll do another, more candid video, soon. I'm usually a little less awkward :)
@Theodora: I would love it if you did more video. Agree with the comment - I read you almost daily and it is so cool to see you "live". = )
Congrats on a great job! You have a very professional sounding voice. I'm 32 and have done radio/tv interviews for my job and I always wince when I hear the playback because I sound like a 16 year old!
I think ibuprophen, bath salts, body glide, knee brace, and bandages are must haves for all of us runners!
This was such a great post! I really enjoyed it and plan to tweet it as well!
I take a multi and fish oil daily!
Ahh I want to watch but I can't at work right now.
I used to take multivitamins but I got lazy... I do take Adora though! I keep Tiger Balm and Naproxen on hand.
