Episode 20: Family & Armo(u)r

Today I am thankful for my amazing family, who never fail to support and encourage me--especially (and most recently) over the last 36 weeks and 4 days...  For me, my family is my armor, and they keep me strong.  So it was only fitting that, when my brother, Ben, came to visit me in the hospital today (well, I think he was more interested in his brand new niece--but still), I was immediately impressed by his super fly kicks.  


It turns out that the sneakers in question are Under Armour footwear.  While I enjoy working out--particularly running and yoga--I actually don't own a single piece of Under Armour.  I'm more of a Lulu Lemon or Nike sort of girl.  But my brother's awesome sneakers may have me changing my tune.  Their sleek design and bold color accents are precisely the features I look for in a sneaker.


Since my amazing new daughter, Harper, has me a bit preoccupied at the moment (yay!), I only had the chance to spend a few minutes perusing Under Armour's website, but I was instantly drawn to the Women's Charge RC Running Shoe.  According to Under Armour, these shoes are game changers, given their two-piece body, designed so that your foot can flex like it does naturally, while compression protects your muscles so as to maximize their strength and slow fatigue.  All this plus moisture-wicking fabric and a weight of less than 10 ounces?  I'm certainly impressed.  Yet, for me, fashion is obviously a crucial component, and these sneakers are equally impressive in this regard; available as a limited edition is a dazzling pink and cool aqua contrasting a graphite colored body.  Girly and edgy: my favorite.


I have to tell you, my brother is definitely the source when it comes to fantastic footwear.  While he is absolutely obsessed with working out, he does it in style, so who am I to judge?  Especially after he has shared this fabulous footwear secret with me.  For that--and for him and the rest of my amazing family--I am thankful.
