So, when I saw these Topshop Destroyed High Rise Ankle Skinny Jeans (that was a mouthful!) at Nordstrom, I knew I had to give them a try. Oh, and I definitely need ‘ankle’ jeans, because apparently I have short legs, too. The higher, the better! Anything low-cut (or not specifically designated mid-rise or high-rise) seems to give me a muffin top, have me constantly pulling at my pants, and just generally not feeling comfortable or good about myself. As I’ve gotten older (and they’ve come back in style), I’ve learned and come to embrace high-waisted jeans as my friend. This often presents itself as a problem when it comes to finding jeans. ![]() If we’ve ever talked about clothing (in real life or on the internets) you’ve probably heard me complain about my super long torso and regular length legs. If you aren’t subscribed, you really should! Needless to say I’m all about TheSkimm these days. A list of best sellers and suggested reading is also available, which I actually love.There’s a section of top reads that don’t necessarily make it into their e-mails, but are worth reading,. ![]() They’ve created a bunch of different calendars that you can easily integrate into your own so you can stay on top of important upcoming events (or you can just view it in the app without adding it to your personal calendar).The app, Skimm Ahead, includes the daily e-mail in the app, along with a lot of other fun features. It’s the perfect thing to read on your commute, or when you first get to work and aren’t quite ready to start your workday. It includes the latest top stories and headlines broken down into just a few paragraphs each, in digestable and easy to read (and funny) language. I think a big part of why I’ve been so dilligent in reading it in part due to their new app, Skimm Ahead!įor those of you not familiar with The Skimm, it’s a daily e-mail that comes straight to your inbox in the morning, Monday through Friday, with a brief overview of what’s going on in the world. I’ve been an on-and-off reader of The Skimm for quite a few years now, but as of the last few months have been reading it daily. ![]() This is definitely something I’m going to continue to invest in for my future! Going to Finish Line has opened my eyes to the importance of having a physical therapist in your corner for a proper prehab routine. Even though I’ve had some setbacks during my return to running, they’ve been minimal and mostly due to my own stubbornness. I can e-mail her and run things by her, get her advice about my shoes, mileage, cross-training, and more. Not only is she super friendly and someone who I would want to be friends with outside of PT, but she knows her stuff. I’ve been going every few weeks to see Caroline, and I always look forward to my appointment. ![]() Alter-G treadmills! Normatec compression sleeves! Vibrating foam rollers! And aside from all the ‘gadgets’ they have a really knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have to say, going to a place that not only understands and caters to runners is a bonus, but having physical therapists that are also runners really brings it to the next level.įinish Line has everything a runner could need when it comes to both rehab and prehab. That’s another post for another day, but I do want to spend a little time waxing poetic about physical therapy! I’ve been to a few different physical therapy places in my day (a place for shoulder tendinitis when I was in high school, a place for my IT band issues two years ago, etc.), but none of them were runner-specific. And as most of you know (or figured out), once again I didn’t run a fall marathon. But in the meantime, here’s what I’m loving lately:Īs most of you know, I started visiting Finish Line after I was diagnosed with a stress reaction in my femur back in March. Skip down to the end if you don’t care about the favorites and just want to enter the giveaway. Also a winner because it includes a giveaway! Aw yeah. I thought I’d attempt my return to sporadic blogging with a Friday Favorites post! That’s lighthearted and fun, yes? After my sad last post, and current events, a little fluff could be nice. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Thanks to everyone who reached out to me about Kennedy it hasn’t been easy, but like I said in my post, getting to spend 12 years with him was a true treat.
