FAST TWITCH. It’s great if you have some fast twitch muscle, but in springtime it’s equally good if you’ve got some fast switch in you. Ah, Spring running! For example, yesterday I had a long run with snow striking at my eyeballs like little ice blades for two hours straight. Today I see a lady run by in a pink sports bra. Runners, we have to be like tulips, strong in the spring snow and in the heat! Fast switch. It’s a beautiful thing. - - I just posted this new XS running jacket, No. 539, $175.00, at vanderjacket 🌷com. Click on the XS page! All my running jackets are originals. I make them with my own two hands. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #springrunning #springrun #marathontraining #halfmarathon #longrun #optoutside #runoutside #irunoutside #irun #runningcompany #runnerstyle #happyrunner #runfree #happyrunning #happyrun #runfree #hardwork #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgirl #fitnessmodel #denver #coloradolove #coloradolocal #runalways #sundayrunday #sundayrun #bendoregon #runnersroost #blackgirlsrun #irunoutside
“WHAT’S THAT BACK POCKET FOR?” People sometimes ask me. I usually say the dullest things. First I say, “Water.” - But how about Perrier? Lingerie? Too risqué? How about love notes? Speech notes? Field notes? Grocery list? Peach pit? Survival kit? Compass bits? Winter knits? Knitting needles? Beetles? Beats by Dre? Tanqueray? Double Day books? Fishing hooks? Fishing leaders? Foam fingers? Honey stinger? Race bib? Whirly gig? Curly wig? Curley lace? Mace? Mace for wolves? Wolf treats? Doggie treats? Illegal Pete’s? Peet’s Coffee? Biscotti? Cinnamon sweets? Witty tweets? Map of streets? But who needs a map these days? That leads to the second thing I always say: “It’s for your phone.” Boring! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - @tanquerayusa @honeystinger @illegalpetes @peetscoffee #irun #runalways #optoutside #jacketstyle #runningcompany #runninggear #igrunners #backpocket #runnergirl #blackgirlyoga #blackgirlsrun #ethicalstyle #whpmystyle #stylediary #runnersworld #runnerspace #denvermade #denvercolorado #denverdesigner #coloradolove #coloradostyle #denverstyle #denverstylemagazine #southwesternstyle #runningmotivation #runningmomma #runningmama #runhappy #runhard #runfree
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PHOTO? Besides the Vander Jacket windbreaker that is coming soon, I like that amazing tree in the background that is bending in cooperation with the arch. Too much! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #denver #denvercolorado #burnspark #arch #vanderjacket #madeindenver #denvermade #coloradolocal #urbanstyle #urbanstreetwear #urbancreativity #createexplore #createbeauty #pursuepretty #stylehunter #blackgirlsrun #fashiongram #stylediaries #ethicallymade #ethicalclothing #ethicalfashion #fashiondesigner #styleinspo #sculpturepark #bluesky #irun #optoutside #colorado_creative #coloradoliving #5280
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME IF I TOLD YOU that running was always spoken of as fun in my family? Running was always pitched as a joyful activity—a reward, a celebration as well as a way to get over disappointment. My dad ran for Nike when I was little—he was a marathon man for Athletics West, an early-days Nike team in Eugene. I would watch cartoons with my sister on Saturday mornings and wait for him to return from his long run. I figured all dads did twenty hard ones at goal pace on Saturday mornings. When “Alvin and the Chipmunks” came on and dad came home, he would fire up the pancake griddle. He would make “Micky Mouse” pancakes for my sister and I, with one big middle circle pancake and two smaller connecting ear pancakes. While he was beating up batter and flipping flapjacks he would run in place to “log more miles.” To this day I wonder about that. Was it just his nervous energy? Was he cooling down? Was it an obsessive impulse? Was he really counting those pancake hops as miles? But I know the answer: Running is fun, so why stop just because you are making your kids breakfast? That kind of running promotion goes deep into a kid: Running is fun. I believe! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #runreadwrite #remember #runningisfun #runforfun #runlikeachild #runfree #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdayrun #igrunners #runnerspace #runnersworld #runlong #optoutside #athleteslife #denvercolorado #flyakite #runningmom #runningdad #runstrong #stronggirls #strongwomen #athlete #runfast #trackseason #eugeneoregon #tracktown #runningcompany #coloradorunner #springrunning
