Target Finds

Happy National Running day everyone! I already got in my run this AM and am going to try for lunchtime yoga break--we'll see.

Last week, after my first race, I gave my Visa a workout at my favorite store: Target.

Who knew I could rack up so much at Target? Yeah, it was a bit surprising.

Shall we see the loot SP made out with? Yes, we shall.

First up: new bikini. Because last year I purchased a tankini with boy shorts in a size of which we do not speak, I decided that this year, I needed to sport something not grandma-esqe. I am currently in love with a blue and white seersucker J. Crew lovely, but, can't justify the $$. Even though Victoria's Secret was having an amazing sale on beach wear, I don't like ordering that online--I want to see how it covers, um, fits.

Now friends, this does not do the suit justice. It is cute, somewhat covering (I think it's clear that I am no longer at that itsy bitsty teeny weenie bikini stage of my life anymore) and the amber tones totally rock with my red hair. Love it.

Onto Bermudas or "walking shorts" (I'm aware that there is a difference, but, I don't take the time to know what it is). I realized a few weeks ago that it is officially too damn hot to wear jeans on the weekend and I need something that will keep me cute and cool (temp wise, y'all).

Enter, these:

They are a kind of skinny dark, dark blue that's almost black. I love them. I will probably need to be restrained from purchasing them in khaki and gray. I wish they had actual "denim" ones though--I love my jeans! PS. They're on sale.

So, what else does SP do after a race? Oh, purchase some workout DVDs to make herself feel even thinner. Two haven't been opened, but, that's besides the point!

Shape (Magazine): Make Over Your Butt, Hips and Thighs DVD: purchasing dumbbells to workout with tomorrow and will be trying out this DVD after work tomorrow.

Gaiam Power Yoga DVD: Holy mother. I did this last Wednesday night and was sore, sore, sore on Thursday. Good sore. It was challenging and pushed me beyond my limits. I'm no yogi, so, I'm sure for seasoned practicers, it wouldn't be much, but, I loved it. Plus, it's filmed in Hawaii.

Gaiam Pilates Core Challenge DVD: We'll be trying this out tonight...

I heart Target. It's a bad, bad, place. The SuperTarget even has gluten free cake mixes.

OK, now I should probably get to work and make some $$ (so I can spend it at Target, obvis).

Happy Wednesday!
