Back to School Shopping... Already?

    Yes, I have only been out of school for a week... and yes, I have already begun back-to-school shopping!!
    I recently did some school shopping and came across these Sperry Topsiders... Now all my past pairs of Sperry's have been the classic Bluefish model in various colors...  But as more and more people are wearing Sperry's I've been looking for something a bit more unique.  So when I came across these Sperry's on sale for only $40 I decided to buy them on a whim figuring that I could always return them if I changed my mind.  
Ta-da!
      Obviously, the main difference if the tassels... So my question to all of you is... Should I keep these??  Do you like the tassel or do you prefer the classic Sperry's??  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I tend to be extremely bad at making decisions!!

    Other items I purchased for back-to-school include...
North Face Jester Bag... on sale for $45!

Nine West Cross Body Bag... $20
I bought this bag because it doubles as a wristlet.  I've been meaning to buy a cross body bag and a wristlet for quite some time now... So I loved being able to get both in one bag!

   I purchased some other miscellaneous items... Eliza B ribbon belt, new agenda, Vera Bradley notepad, Nike Shorts... actually I got the Nike shorts in a kids large AND on clearance so they were only $10 each... BARGAIN!!

    That all I purchased for my back-to-school shopping so far... And remember to comment below with your ideas about the Sperry's!! Pretty please, any help is greatly appreciated! :)

Let the Summer Training Begin!

    Hello all! Sorry I've neglected posting lately... I stayed at a friend's house for a few days... but anyways, I have officially started summer training for cross country!  Hooray!!!! Those two weeks without physical exercise were TORTURE.  But yesterday I finally went for my first bike ride of summer.  I biked with my training partner because training with someone else is always more fun.  We intended to bike 13 miles... but after a quick (aka long, hilly, and tiring) detour to find a pond (that we never found)... it turned out to be a 2 hour, 20 mile bike ride!  Needless to say, we were exhausted.  And I can barely feel my legs today... but it was a great ride to begin summer training!


       Looking fashionable as we biked...



        Here's what my training schedule looks like for the few days...
Thursday: Arm and core conditioning
Friday:  14 miles bike ride (no detours this time!)
Saturday: 1st run of season! Approx. 30 min
                 Arm and core conditioning

     I'll be sure to keep you updated on my fitness adventures!
