Hey guys! It’s Friday! I am so happy about it!
I had a horrid week at work. I really hope you did better than me 🙂
Anyway, it’s time for the traditional Five on Friday post to show you five things I’m loving lately. Here we go!
{ONE} Vibram FiveFingers – Seeya
I just got these in the mail a couple days ago. They are much lighter than the Traksport Sandals I got before and I am absolutely loving them!
I’ve been wearing them to work every day of the week since I got them…Yeah, it is a bit of a dress code violation but really, I don’t have customers visiting me and spend most of the day commuting between the printer and my desk. I don’t think anybody cares about the shoes I wear (if any).
Buy Seeya’s here if I got you interested.
{TWO} Mantra Bands – One Day at a Time
IÂ now have two in my collection, and check out how well they go together!
Looking at them is an inspiration and a reminder that it is a journey, not the destination that matters. And of course I love me some bling, too 🙂
{THREE} Entry Level Road Bikes
The subject of road bikes has been of interest in my house for a long time 🙂 I have never owned a road bike in my life. I have a $50 Walmart “no brander” right now 🙂
So one day I just said I wanted a road bike. It kind of frustrated my husband a little… I quote: “You can’t just say you want a road bike! That’s not enough information! What kind of bike? What brand? Components?…” Anyway, turns out he thought that would be a great surprise gift for me. But since I started bugging him about why he’d gotten so frustrated, he confessed and there will be no surprise (don’t bug your husbands, ladies) So! My wonderful husband started doing some research and stumbled upon this great article here, which is called “Top 5 Entry Level Road Bikes”.
And I am totally drooling over this Schwinn!
Totally looking into buying one on Amazon
{FOUR} FitBloggin’ 2014
Exciting-exciting-exciting!
So here’s the story. Last week my blogging friend Jen over at A Hungry Runner threw a question at me on Facebook:
Are you going to the Fitbloggin’ conference? I want to go so badly!
I was not planning on going. Well, of course I know what FitBloggin’ is and how awesome it would be to go, but I didn’t think me and my blog were quite there yet.
But it is a whole different story when you have a buddy by your side 🙂
Anywho, within 24 hours from that question on Facebook Jen and I had our attendee registrations done and hotel booked.
WE ARE GOING TO FITBLOGGIN’ 2014!!!!
To say that I am excited is a HUGE understatement. I am SO looking forward to meeting the fellow fitness bloggers and learning more about fitness blogging by attending sessions, as well as working out with a bunch of awesome people, exploring the beautiful Savannah, GA and so much more!!!
Jen, you’re the best for throwing that idea out there and taking me along on this adventure with you 🙂
I. CAN’T.WAIT.
{FIVE} Spinning® App
Did you know there was an app for that? 🙂 I didn’t!
Image source and app download link.
Anyway, I have downloaded it and hubby and I went on a quick bike ride on Thursday to try it out.
The app is pretty awesome, my friends. Check out the summary of our ride:

Loved this app! So easy to set up and use and so much useful information about your ride.
And that’s my Five on Friday, guys! Hope you have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
Do share: do you or have you ever owned a road bike? If yes, what brand and model is it?
Sorry you had a rough week at work. Glad you are liking your new shoes. My sis had a pair of those and didn’t really care for them. I have no opinion as I never tried them! I had a student who would wear them to class every once in a while.
Thanks, Meranda. I hope you had a better week!
I love my Vibrams. It is the second pair I got and I am seriously neglecting the rest of my huge shoe collection in favor of these 🙂
love those bands! super cute!
Thanks, Nicole!
I’m so glad you’re able to go! I can’t wait!!! And I agree – having a buddy is the best! 🙂
Yey! The stars lined up because it was meant to be 🙂
I don’t have a road bike but hubby has 2. Yeah 2! That fitbloggin’ conference sounds like fun. Can’t wait to read all about it.
I will be sure to post all about it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I have a road bike now for triathlons and I love it – I picked the model I wanted and then found an older version on Craigslist for a price I could handle.
What brand and model do you have now, Cynthia? I love the idea of getting one on Craigslist! Thank you.
Thanks for the road bike info! I actually have a loner road bike for now. They are so expensive and I want to make sure I’m committed to cycling before I go and buy one.
You are most welcome, Michele!
That app looks so cool, I’ll definitely be downloading it. I remember feeling super overwhelmed when I first bought a road bike. But I went to local shops and just asked them to explain components to me then did some research. I’d say as long as you get the bike properly fitted you’re good to go 🙂
Thanks! That is a great idea about local bike shops!
Being a Spinning instructor I am huge on proper bike setup and its importance for safety, comfort and proper training. Once I decide on the bike and get it, I will definitely go to professionals to get me set up. 🙂
Glad you liked the app!
ooooo SO PUMPED to see you at Fitbloggin!! 😀
I’ll see ya there, girl! 🙂
