Stylish Blogger: The Sports Edition

We all know what a trend-setter I am in the running world. So, it’s no surprise I was tagged with the Stylish Blogger Award by the lovely Kadie over at There She Runs and by the lovely Alma at The Average Woman’s Running Blog! Thanks ladies!

I’m supposed to share seven random facts, but I feel like I do that a lot on this blog. How about seven seriously bad “sports” photos from my past?

1. Heading out for some swimming and skiing in Lake Tahoe.
Well, at least half my face is protected from the sun.

2. Not sure what to say about this one. I still have these skis, by the way.
I got them in 8th grade. Think it’s time for some new ones?

3. They didn’t call it Bobby Sox for nothin’. Jealous, TMB?

4. Picture day for swim team.
Scrunchie. Check. Bead necklace. Check. Big plastic earrings. Check. Cheese. Check.

5. The serious swimmer. Or just afraid? Not sure.
Anyway, had to throw in one with a swim cap — the most hideous of sports accessories.

6. Sportin’ the necklace and earrings again for soccer pictures.
Oh, and throw in a perm.

7. I’ve shared this one before. How could I leave it out? Nice heel-strike.
Notice the wall of bangs.

Now, to pass this on to seven more stylish bloggers:

Amanda at Five Miles Past Empty

Carolina Girl at Ramblings of a 30-Something-Year-Old Carolina Girl

Chelsea at Will Run for Food

Kelly at In a Field of Daffodils

LB at Muddy Runner

Mel at Tall Mom on the Run

Wifey at Run, Wifey, Run

Here are the rules to accepting this award:

1. Make a post + Link back to the person who awarded you this award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Award 7 recently discovered great bloggers. (I just chose people I thought maybe hadn’t receive it yet, although sorry if you’ve already done this!)

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them they’ve won!

I leave you with this recent high-style race outfit:

Pulling the T-Rex pose, Mel-style. 😉

Love, LOVE, LOVE the pictures. Awesome. I actually don't recognize you in the first one when you were in Tahoe! Thanks for sharing! I forget that you are a swimmer too and I think we need to do a tri over the summer, just a SPRINT one. You would LOVE it! Looking forward to Thursday!

You know that scrunchies will come back in style some day. Of course those of us who wore them in the 80s will be too old to wear them again.
