Three Things Thursday

1. I am a Chapstick freak. I cannot leave my house without it and I always have one with me so matter where I go. Chapstick is even listed on my race day list because if I run without it I feel like my lips are going to fall off! Well, Christy won a giveaway for this Limited Edition Chapstick (the girl is on a serious winning streak) and I really want it now! It fills my Chapstick and cupcake addiction all in one shot! The problem is that I cannot find it anywhere except on Ebay for 10 X the price! I am thinking that having the taste of Velvet Cupcake and Cake Batter on my lips at all times may help stop my cravings for cupcakes....probably not but it's worth a try!

2. I won a great giveaway from Christy@ My Dirt Road Anthem! I won a pair of compression socks from Spun Performance Apparel and I am really excited to try them out. I have started wearing compression socks on all of my runs because I seem to recover much quicker, especially on my long runs. Thank You Christy, I hope my winning streak is as great as yours has been!

 3. Just when I though I had my fill of Girl Scout Cookies (because we ate all of the ones that we bought), my local cupcakery puts out their St. Patty's Day menu and announces that they are also baking up these yummy Girl Scout Cookie inspired cupcakes! I really hope I find that Chapstick (see #1 above) because resisting these is going to be really tough!

    1. Yes it is a Samoa cupcake and it is sooo good! I have been living in my compression socks lately and they have helped me a lot! You should give them a try to see if they help you. I am sure they will.

    1. They are heavenly! Good thing I run or else I would be in big trouble! I have never tried Blistex but I am sure it is just as addictive as Chapstick.

  4. I am a Chapstick addict too and would love to try those flavors. I actually forgot my Chapstick at my race yesterday--a mistake in dry dry Utah (though it wasn't quite as dry yesterday as it usually is). I *did* remember to wear my calf compression sleeves in yesterday's race and it made a lot of difference.

    Eat a cupcake for me (do they have one based on TagAlongs--my favorite Girl Scout cookied?).

    1. Forgetting my Chapstick would totally mess up my race! I have been living in my compression socks and what a big difference in recovery time. Yes they have TagAlong cupcakes and I will eat one for you!

  5. Congrats on winning the socks from Christy! The cupcakes look good. Thin Mints are my weakness but I never let myself buy any from the Girl Scouts!

    1. Thin mints are one of my weaknesses too but I feel bad and give in to all of my co-workers! I just received the socks yesterday and plan to try them out this week. I love giveaways especially when I win something that I really need!
