Christmas is right around the corner and if you are like me, your personal present wish list might include a few running items.  I thought I would help a sister out, point ya’ll in the right direction, and share with you some of MY favorite running items.  Are these the ONLY running items/brands I use?

You guys impressed me with the response to the Runner’s Corner-Introduce Yo’Self post.  I loved reading about each and every one of you and I can’t wait to get to know ya’ll better.  Also, I think we are one bad-ass group of runners, if I do say so.  I am still hashing out in my […]

We’re starting a new segment here at Shrinking Jeans called Runners Corner.  Now, I know not everyone is a runner around these parts but I do know there is a large group of us that are.  And don’t give me that baloney about *I run/walk*, sometimes *I walk more than I run*, or *I only […]

Why do I find it so easy to toot everyone else’s horn and so difficult to toot my own horn? I’ve been thinking about this post all day long, trying to get myself *tooting* along (snicker snicker). Regardless, it’s time for each and every one of us to share the positive from the past week, […]
