Nike+ Running Review

Nike+ Running Review
 
 
 
Back when I lived in Texas, I loved running!
Well since I moved to Washington I fell off the bandwagon!
Today I decided I was going to start running again starting with 3 days a week!
 
I found an app. on my IPhone called Nike+ Running
 
It tracks how long your run is, how far you ran, and the calories burned it also shows you a map of your run! I love the app and recommend it to anyone that is running or that wants to start running. it also gives you encouragement, challenging you to beat your distance and time on your next run!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pay no mind to my horrible running, its a work in progress! :)
I walked one mile and run one mile, hopefully by next week ill be running the full 2 miles!

Cotton Candy Fizzle



Cotton Candy fizzle

 

 

After I had just moved to Washington, me and my neighbor went to downtown Olympia to get a drink I saw a cotton candy vodka and told the bartender to make me a drink that had a cotton candy taste! she made me what I have re created as Cotton candy frizzle! Its a must try I even had my husbands friends try it and they all liked it!

 

 



 


 
What you'll need:
 
 
Pinnacle Cotton candy vodka
7UP
Grenadine
 
 
Directions:
 
I really have no precise directions. I pour the vodka first that way i have a better indication of how much alcohol will be in the drink, then pour the 7UP and put a splash of grenadine.
 
Taste exactly like cotton candy and is super refreshing !
