It’s Friday, so I thought it would be a great time to do another giveaway. I am SO excited to be able to give one reader their own customized Road ID! Road IDwas kind enough to provide me with an e-certificate to give to the winner so that he/she can choose his/her own Road ID. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me which Road ID you would choose (wrist, ankle, shoe pouch, etc.).

I am a very strong proponent of wearing (or carrying) ID with you whenever and wherever you exercise. You don’t have to look far to find stories of people who have had medical emergencies while exercising and were unable to be identified by emergency personnel. If you want to know why I feel so strongly about this issue, you can read HERE. [Read more...]

Most of my readers know that I am a stickler for safety while running, so I was very intrigued when I was offered the chance to review a pair of Knuckle Lights. Since many of you have to run in the early morning hours of darkness or at night after work (when someone else can care for the kids!), good lighting is really important.

The two main options that you have for lightning on the run are headlamps and handheld flash lights. Personally, I just can’t do the headlamp thing and I really don’t like carrying much when I run. The Knuckle Lights seemed like a great alternative for light on the run.

Each Knuckle Light has 4 LED lights that provide 45 lumens of light (for those of you that are up on light specs). I don’t know too much about comparing lumens, but I can tell you that the Knuckle Lights are VERY bright. As the name implies, Knuckle Lights fit over your knuckles and are held in place by a silicone strap (see photo). They are adjustable to fit any hand size. [Read more...]
