Safety on the Streets

The Wrist ID Elite by Road ID - This is one of those products that you think is a great idea, but often don't get around to ordering. I want to encourage you, if you are a runner, walker, biker or hiker or related to a runner, walker, biker or hiker, take the time to order one of these today. As their advertisements say: If you can't speak for yourself, the Road ID will speak for you. The bracelet is made from a rubberized band with a watch-style buckle and laser engraved stainless steel identification plate and is available in classic black or eight other colors. The band is fully adjustable and water proof. You can customize the engraving with information that is important to you. Road ID also offers other styles including a shoe tag. You can check out the colors and other styles as well as order directly from the website: www.roadid.com

I gave an orange Wrist ID Elite to my husband for Christmas and I now rest much easier when he leaves for his morning run at 5am!

This post is in honor of my friend, Andria, who ran the Chicago Marathon yesterday. Although my own long runs are limited now, I wouldn't even think of attempting one without a packet of Sport Beans. These little jelly beans, made by Jelly Belly candies, are the perfect combination of carbs and electrolytes to help you get through your workout. No sticky Gu, no cardboard bars - just a neat, sweet, little treat. In four different flavors ~ Lemon-Lime, Orange, Fruit Punch and Berry. Look for these at running or sporting good stores, as well as pharmacies & Target.
