Yesterday, I got an email that I’d won the lottery.
And it wasn’t spam.
Nor was I winning money. I actually won a lottery that required me to pay money.
Still not spam.
I won the lottery for my hometown tri.
I’m actually surprised that there’s even a lottery, but whatever.
I’m excited for a redemption tri, and I have some very specific goals in mind.
This bag officially puts me at half workout clothes in my dresser*. Below are the ones I’m most excited to try.
I tried out these pants on a 6-miler with Ashley this morning and at 30/60/90 the other night, and I really like them. They stay put and are just as flattering in the midsection as my Wunder Unders. (Ashley and I also showed up in matching New Balance tops, which was only slightly awkward.)
(Gratuitous Central Park in the morning shot.)
This is New Balance’s equivalent of a Garmin–I’m excited to see how it compares!
I suspect I ended up with bright yellow ones because of my abnormally-big-feet-for-5’5″. (I’m a 10.5 in running shoes–I never grew into my feet.) I tried them this morning, too, and while I need to run in them more to really formulate an opinion–so far, so good. They were nice and cushion-y and nothing hurt in them.
Below are links to the products:
But because New Balance wants to hook you up, too, they’ve given me a coupon code to share with my readers. Use code NBRTB12766BGG from March 1 – March 10 to get 15% off any NB gear as well as free shipping.
*I’ll likely be doing giveaways when I move to get rid of stuff and share the love–some fitness related, some random stuff. I also have a few more scheduled giveaways coming up.

Hey Theodora! I am so jealous of your New Balance gear, that is so awesome.
Quick question - how do you like 30/60/90? I'm a group fitness instructor and trainer and I'm going to the instructor training tomorrow. I haven't taken a class, so I'm curious to hear opinions about it. Thanks!
@Michelle: Sorry I never responded to this! I love 30/60/90. How'd it go??
wow you lucky girl! I wish I could afford ANY such new balance gear - particularly clothing. I feel like I am always in need of good workout clothes. Those pants you got are just adorable!
Those crops are really cute. I'm the exact same height as you but I have small feet -- I never noticed yours looking big, but wow!
