Love is in the air

February 16, 2014 By: Runner Leana

Did everyone have a lovely Valentine’s Day?  Neil and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, but somewhere around February 12th or 13th in 2010 Neil and I went out on our second first date.  What on earth is a second first date?  Neil and I had dated for a year, broken up, then didn’t talk to each other for a good year and a half.  One day out of the blue in early 2010 I received an e-mail from him.  At first I wasn’t interested in going back down that road, but then I figured one date couldn’t hurt.  We had a lovely dinner at Alloy, and now every year around the same time we go back to Alloy to celebrate taking a leap and second chances.

Speaking of love, I tried to show my #runlove this week!  On Monday it was a pretty chilly -12 out but I ran to the Calgary Curling Club stairs, climbed the stairs for 20 minutes alternating lunging up every second step and running up, then ran back to the office. There weren’t a lot of people out there with me, but it sure was a good workout!  I’m really loving incorporating stairs into my routine.

Again on the love front, I’m loving the spring 2014 line Oiselle is coming out with.  Keep your eye out for eye out for the cross top mesh tank, the three friends tank, and the LF sweatpants!

I think the cross top mesh tank has to be my favourite of the new items.  It is so cute and looks great with the strappy bra!  The fabric is so soft too.

I also love the new jade green flyte tank and flow tights!

    Too funny. My parents did the same and broke up and didn’t talk to each other for a long time. They then got married and have been together almost 35 years.

    I LOVE the mesh tank too! And the LF sweatpants… I bought the Go Joggings and they’re amazing! So soft. I want to wear them all the time!

    I love your love story!

    I think I might have to try some Oiselle once I’m back in the market for some workout clothes. Love their designs!
