Starbucks Rewards
Even if you only go to Starbucks once in awhile, you need to sign up for their rewards program.  I limit myself to 3 visits per week and I get a free drink card in the mail all the time.  Within the past 2 weeks I got 2 free drinks!  And they have this nifty little app for your phone so you don’t have to carry around a rewards card.  It’s the little things…

More lululemon love…
Walking into lululemon for me is similar to a 20-mile endorphin rush.  I may be the best dressed runner but I dress for work like a hobo.  Shopping for running clothes always trumps shopping for any other clothes.  My newest lulu addiction is the Stride Jacket.  I haven’t used it for running yet (it may be a bit heavy); more of an all-round hoodie.  So warm and toasty.

A blogger’s dream
Matt got me a little something for Valentine’s Day and it may borderline on life-changing (for a blogger at least).  A wireless memory card!   No more using an annoying cord to transfer your pictures!  Your pictures transfer from your camera right to your computer (organized into date-based folders…eek!).

Peanut Butter Cheerios
These are good.  But is anything that contains PB bad?!

Do you prefer to shop for running clothes over regular clothes? 

Do you use a wireless memory card?  Do you agree that it would make blogging so much easier?

    I definitely prefer spending money on running clothes and shoes–most of my non-running wardrobe is from the Old Navy clearance rack!
    In fact, I am expecting a shipment from Running Warehouse today–new sneakers. Yay!

    I absolutely prefer workout clothes! That’s probably 90% of my wardrobe too. I wear running shirts and jackets to work sometimes (like today). But I haven’t tested wearing running pants too yet.

    When I do laundry 70% of it is workout clothes! Running outfits are easy fits and aside from work clothes, I wear workout gear more than regular clothes. My weakness are Nike Tempo shorts. So many colors to choose from—I want them all! I like the color of your background wall. 🙂

      Wow, you hit the nail on the head for me. Nike Tempo shorts are THE BEST.

    Why oh why did you have to alert me to the existence of Peanut Butter Cheerios? I will be making a grocery run before the end of the day……(you’re correct–is there anything PB that is NOT delicious?)

    My running wardrobe is awesome. my work wardrobe leaves a lot to be desires. I often try to sneak running pieces into it…depending on what I think I can get away with. I definitely push the boundaries a bit too much!! I have that stride jacket and love it. 🙂 I have run in it when it is really cold outside.

    That Eye-Fi thing looks awesome!!

    I’ve been avoiding starbucks lately to save $$, but am thinking of becoming a rewards member – it seems like there are a lot of benefits! shopping for running stuff always trumps regular stuff – love it 🙂

    That jacket is super cute! I normally stick to the Target gear. 🙂 My husband is big on the Starbucks card too. He’s an addict, haha

    I like the tiny ruffle along your stride jacket! I have a plain one in a blue-green color. I’m a fan of Starbucks rewards too. I’ve been trying to explain to my parents what they’re missing out on by buying their starbucks with cash instead of keeping a gift card. I guess I average about 5 trips a month, but would love to go more! 🙂 I would definitely prefer to buy running clothes over work clothes… that has definitely changed over the last few years.

    I’m embarrassed to admit how I often I “earn” free Starbucks drinks. That means I spend a lot of money there! Hehe, but runners need coffee, right?

    Cute Lululemon jacket! I have a pair of Lulu Spandex and would wear them 24/7 if I could…

    I NEED to get that Starbucks card. I hit them up WAY too much. As for Lululemon… I don’t know what is wrong with me, but I refuse to spend $$ there! I have a sick shopping addiction (HI BLOOMINGDALES! HI JCREW!) but when it comes to running clothes, I am cheap as hell. The vast majority of my tops are from the Marshall’s sale rack or some other sale rack. Or from a race. I usually look like a running hobo.
    As for peanut butter, um, if someone were to ask me if I fell asleep eating peanut butter out of the jar on the couch on Saturday night, I would have to say yes. (T came home and had a really good laugh out of the empty jar lying by my side.)

    I totally prefer to shop for running clothes. My laundry is always filled w/ workout clothes more than regular clothes, because let’s be real here… I don’t wash work pants every single time I use them. I get 2-3x use of them before washing a pair. LOL

    LOVE the wireless card idea. What a great gift.
