New Lulu Obsession: Swiftly

Prior to running NWM 13.1 I was urged by a friend to try out the Run: Swiftly Tech Racerback and I must say I'm now obsessed!


I had tried lots of Lulu tops before without much success but I'm really glad I found this line.  I also purchased the short sleeve and long sleeve options (mainly driven by varied workout regime).  The racerback is great for runs, Pilates, and spin class.  The tops are long so I feel comfortable that my butt is covered regardless of what exercise I'm doing at the time.  I like the short sleeve and long sleeve for boot camp (depending on temperature) as they provide a bit more coverage/warmth.  Lulu markets this as running attire but I love it for everything!

Lululemon Swiftly.  Happy Shopping!

Back to Basics

I know I've been away for quite a while.  I had gotten into a exercise rut and just recently was able to get myself out of it.  I started doing a bootcamp that was recommended by a friend.  It required waking up at 5:15 and involved the most intense 75 minutes of exercising.  I have had trouble going regularly but last week was able to wake up both Tuesday and Thursday.  We have this week off but next week we start up again for a 6 week session.  Besides a couple days where I will be on trips I'm promising (you heard it here) to attend all the days.  I also have started back up with Spin Class at BodyRok as well as Pilates at The Pad Studios.  I also signed up for a 5 mile race on Thanksgiving Day while I'm home in New Orleans.  I'm using the last two months of the year as a renewed exercise push.
