Wireless headphones will change your running life.  I was using normal headphones for a few months and then got the new Freedom Bluetooth Headphones from Jaybird and I’m hooked.

IMG 8987

“The smallest wireless buds ever with insanely big sound in a stunning patented secure-fit sweat-proof, ultra-comfort metal design.”  These have incredible sound, stay in place perfectly (even during speed/tempo runs) and NO MORE CORDS getting tangled while I run.

To enter giveaway (giveaway ends on 6/10/16):

 *Leave a comment telling me anything that you would like… how your day is going?  Why you run?  What you last ate?  Anything at all!!!

My day could be better due to being 3 months pregnant and still not feeling better but nothing a bagel cant fix. I meant send in my Running accomplishments but didn’t get the chance. I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon about 2 weeks ago when I was 10 weeks pregnant and PR my time and most exciting was this was my daughters first time watching me on the sideline and that made me super happy.

These earbuds would be great for trail running this summer!

Would really love to win the wireless headphones for my husband! He’s a visually-impaired runner trying to make the U.S. Paralympic Track & Field Team for Rio for the 1500 and 5000. Wireless headphones would be an awesome Father’s Day gift from his three little ones!

Dying to have these! Let’s see… What’s on my mind? I LOVE SUMMER! I’m a teacher and this is my first week of summer break and it’s just so incredible. I can walk my dog whenever I want, run whenever I want, nap whenever I want, and use the bathroom whenever I want (huge deal for teachers :)! I’m sure you can relate!

My day is FANTASTIC!! Our building will be open to the public in just a few moments for an NFL Mini Camp. This place is buzzing!! I run because there is heart disease on both sides of my family and I am trying to keep it at bay…best I can. And I just ate some spinach quinoa salad that was fabulous.

I love running with music and podcasts but running with two leashes (for two German shepherds) and long cords for headphones is a mess. These look awesome!

Reply

After my plantar fascia left me crawling to the bathroom I ran my first mile yesterday, mostly successful. Injuries suck! Those wireless headphones are awesome.

Reply

I run to cope with life and it’s frowned upon to punch people in the face. So running deters me from maiming friends, family and my husbund. “Run happy” is my current mantra.

Reply

I have a T-shirt that says I only Run so I can eat more chocolate cake!

Reply

Those are so cool!! And I just wanted to say CONGRATS on your engagement, I’m a very happy follower :) Today I ran around the summer camp I work at in the summers and it was glorious.. 75 degrees and sunny in the mountains, nothing better!

Slept in this morning so missed my morning run. Had to do it over lunch – HOT out there. One of the many reasons I run in the morning!
Thanks and congrats on the engagement!

I’ve been dying to try wireless headphones! I was especially skeptical of them during runs…Do they actually stay put?

I was driving to work this morning and thinking about how much I miss trail running…we moved from Southern California to Montana about 6 months ago and the weather is perfect for it now but I need to get my courage up to do it since I’m in bear country now. Hopefully I can find a running buddy soon so I can get back into it :)

Adapted my run to a bike ride today- those headphones look amazing.
Congrats to you all!

I have started doing hill work to better my pace and I don’t hate it. It’s hard, but I feel like it’s helping so much. I am doing a summer run series in Memphis this summer – 4 miler “Zoom Thru the Zoo”; Harbortown 5k (neighborhood next to MS river); Gibson Guitar 5k on Saturday (in midtown Memphis near a recording studio); and a Stars and Stripes 5k on July 2nd! I have seen improvements in my pace so far and am excited to see about these next 2 races! So happy to hear about your engagement! Congrats!!

Hey, I love your blog! I’ve been reading it for 2 years now. Your such an inspiration. I recently got done wearing a boot because I had a stress fracture and gonna start running again this week. I remember when you went through it and kept your head up and that helped me. I would love some wireless headphones to start running again. It’s going to be tough but it will come back and I have you in my mind.

I’m so happy for you to be getting married and finding love again! I hope to meet you someday!

Reply

Seriously need wireless headphones. Every time I run I think, “I’ve got to get wireless headphones,” and then I forget until my next run. Ugh cords everywhere.

Reply

I’m trying to finish my annual review for work- which was due two days ago!- and your blog has been my distraction all night. I think I need to ban myself from the internet if I’m ever going to get this done!! I bet if I ran after work I would have shaken off the day and I’d be focusing now. Ugh…

I just ate a huge salad for dinner with my favorite salad ingredient – garbanzo beans! My Andrew made it for me! Those Andrew’s – they are keepers!

Today was a good day! I biked to work in the sunshine, took a walk at lunch, ate with some friends, and then took a walk after work. I love summer weather!

I had an exciting day shooting a commercial! Not at all the average day in my life.

2 things to tell you: (1) I am so happy for you and your engagement/future marriage. Your happiness is so exploding all over your blog, and I just beam for you with every post! (2) My husband recently asked me why I like my headphones (which was random because I’ve never ever talked about them.) I said, ” I don’t. I actually am not a fan at all. It’s just what I have. As soon as I save up enough money, I’m going to get some wireless ones. Probably Jaybirds because that’s what HRG recommends.”

Reply

Congrats on the engagement! I hope y’all only get happier as the days go by! Also? I REALLY need some new earbuds!!

Reply

My day was crazy busy driving my son around town for summer school. I am glad I went to the gym for spinning today for myself. Congratulations on the engagement !!

I just started training for my first half marathon and I am so excited about it! My first group training run was on Saturday – getting to the track at 7:30 am was worth it!

Reply

I just ate a yummy sea salt caramel frozen Greek yogurt pop. So good!!

Reply

I need these!! Somehow my ear shape is not compatible with most earbuds, but it seems like these would work!

Reply

Would love to win those cordless headphones! Cords while running = the worst! Also, I’ve started following you at the recommendation of my girlfriend (who also runs) and was wondering….I’m new to running but am currently training for a half and I can’t find any sandals that are supportive enough to wear when I’m not running! Do you have any suggestions?!

Reply

Currently putting off a tempo run…

Thanks for sharing your life with all of us! I also went through a tough divorce and have recently remarried. Aren’t we lucky that Mr.Right was still out there?? :)

I have been struggling to find a good set of headphones for running. I always end up fighting the cord the entire run which usually ruins most of my runs :( These Jaybirds don’t bounce around at all? I am really curious at trying these bad boys out! You always give such good recommendations, thanks lady!!

Reply

Just got back from a 5 mile run (UT is already getting so hot!) so, needless to say, my day has started off great :)

My day is going good! I teach summer school and we just spent an hour outside in the sun! Can’t wait for the schoolday to be over so I can get my run-on!

I would LOVE these headphones. Mine get so wrapped up when sweaty – and I end up tasting the saltiness when they get caught up on my face and in my mouth (TMI!?)

Reply

Those headphones look awesome! Mine always fall out! Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding. I just watched your VLOG and it is so easy to see how happy you are!

I actually have an earlier model from jaybird that I ordered after your recommendation and have been using them religiously for the past few years. these new ones look amazing – loving the color!

I’m trying to figure out a way to get to marathon distance and have it be “normal”. I look at other long distance runners and think it’s incredible how they can do such distances so frequently and at such high speeds. Something to aspire to! And this giveaway is awesome :) fingers crossed!

I am having a tough time adjusting to summer running this year! I’m just trying to take it slow and not beat myself up about it.

I finally signed up for my FIRST MARATHON, this fall! I run because it reminds me who I am and who I can become. It kind of brings me back to home base when life takes me all the way out to left field. :)

Long time reader, second time commenting ;0) Congratulations to you and Andrew! It is so wonderful and exciting for all of you. About the giveaway, I have to cross train because of recurrent and unrelenting plantar fasciitis. It’s sooooo boring! I would love to have those headphones to keep me sane until I can run again.
