    I got this neat landmine sleeve thingy that I can stick into weight plates for a base. Before I was just sticking it into the 45s and was getting more anxious about it popping out and crashing into my stuff.

    Also, got a legit squat pad. No more chopping up dollar store pool noodles! :grin:

    I have fleece lined leggings, but they're not comfortable & cause chaffed skin on my thighs, so I usually just layer up. But, how do you brace yourself for the cold in a run? My body isn't completely used to running cause it's been a while since I ran. I usually try to aim for night runs since there's less traffic around, but the fog has been rolling in this week which is making it colder out and harder for me to go out there.

    11 whole pounds of vanilla-flavoured whey isolate powder. coulda been a disaster as it was my first purchase online and in bulk, from a site whose products i'd never tried. but i love it so couldn't be happier.

    protein-acquistion chore: done. at least for the next six-ish months. that feels so good, idk what to say.

    A Garmin Virb camera.

    Hoping to get some decent video on my Half Marathon in the morning

    And the image quality from stills is excellent, with the video being good. As I had it in a head mount it's pretty shaky, but very clear video, solid audio pick-up.

    The only snag with the head mount is the weight on the front of the head. The golden rule with endurance races is nothing new on race day, so this may not have been the best idea but I'm really glad I gave it a good long outing.

    Anxiously awaiting as I write the arrival of the book Strong Curves. I'll finally have a PLAN to follow at the gym not just plopping myself on whatever machine cuz it looks effective!

    Canicross equipment for me and my dog. It's so much more fun running with her, I'm trying out a lot of new trails instead of plodding around the same boring road circuit that I always used to.

    Indoor cycling trainer...that was actually back in October, but it's paying dividends now that winter has set in.

    I've wanted Enve wheels for years. These cost more than my bike.

    I'm getting snowshoes under the tree. Given how much snow we've got this season, they are going to get a lot of use very soon.

    Seeing as how most of the spring clips at my gym don't clamp down on the bar very well, I ordered some Greenten locking collars. Pink, of course - to match my gym bag, MP3 player, and earbuds. Much better, now. B)
