Happy Friday All!
My goodness these weeks are flying by! I’m looking forward to a busy weekend with the family, with lots of gardening/yard work, lacrosse games and running the BAA 5k! But first, I’m joining Courtney, Mar and Cynthia for this week’s #FridayFive link-up as we dish about some of our favorite brands.
Athleta — I have shared my love of Athleta clothes on many occasions in the past, so it should come as no surprise that they make this list! From great running clothes to figure flattering bathing suits, they have it all. I just got their latest catalog and let’s just say I need to hide my wallet!
Zensah — Long run recovery always includes some time in my Zensah sleeves – their calf sleeves are a must have for me!
Mizuno — Now I do have to say that I have much love and a long history with Saucony/Kinvaras. That being said, I do find that ever since I received a pair of #WaveRider18 to review back in October, they have become a my go-to shoes of late.
Koss Fit Series — Music is a big part of my workouts and my Koss FitClips are great ear buds – their lightweight, sweat-resistant and don’t fall out – win!
Vitamix — Yes perhaps an unusual choice as a “running brand” but the smoothies I can make with it makes my Vitamix a key part of my recovery.
So tell me what are some brands you’re loving right now?
Be sure to check out the link-up, you may find a new brand to try!
I’m with you on Athleta (for casual work clothes too!) and Mizuno. I’m partial to my Yurbuds.

Thanks Courtney! And yes…you want a Vitamix. My SIL gave us one for Christmas and I’m hooked 🙂
I have never tried Zensah I’ve only used pro compression.Will have to try that brand out. I love my vitamix too. Perfect for smoothies after a long run.

I would say definitely give Zensah a try!
So many awesome things on your list!!! I’m on a total Athleta kick – and just ordered a trench coat that I absolutely love!!!

Oh I bet that’s a cute coat!
I also love Athleta’s cute summer dresses! Of course I am all about my skirt sports too! Balega socks have you tried them?
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner recently posted…Firmoo Fashionable Eyewear
Just recently tried Balaga and really like them!
I love Athleta! I have had some skin cancer issues and their UPF 50 clothing is great! Land’s end also came out with some cute things in this type of line 🙂 Have a great weekend Michelle!

The fact that their beachwear has that extra UV protraction is a nice bonus for sure!
Oh wow! I totally agree with the Vitamix! I own a Vitamix and it is a key part of my daily, healthy lifestyle. After a run I mix smoothies with Vega protein powder. I mix and match Athleta clothing for running and teaching! Good picks! I almost had the Vitamix in my top 5 this week too:)

I’m still learning all of the things I can make with the Vitamix – tried humus yesterday – love it!
I have never tried Athleta but do get their catalog. I’d like to try a few items, for sure. I’m a huge fan of Mizuno. I have Zensah calf sleeves but must have ordered the wrong size. They are so tight! So I sometimes wear them on arms. HA.

Now that’s tight! Did you measure before ordering? I didn’t the first time and had to exchange them!
HUGE fan of Athleta!! Have fun in the BAA 5K, one of these years I’ll have a chance to do it!

Thanks Mar – it’s a fun run…crazy crowded for a 5K but a great vibe 🙂
Hope you and the family had a good 5K! I like Athleta and Zensah as well.

I am a huge Mizuno fan! Don’t know anything about Athleta, but they are opening one soon in a town nearby.
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero recently posted…Loving Lately – April
Definitely check out the store when it opens. The catalog is great but I love having a store nearby!
Athleta is DEFINITELY a favorite of mine, but I don’t have enough of their clothing!

Such great brands! I am a huge fan of Athleta!
