Wind = Fire.

A year ago when I moved out of Irvine, I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with the fires again, and I was wrong. This weekend the wind kicked up and it was a blazing 95 degrees on Saturday at the Oakley sale. (In which Mr. R bought a pretty cool jacket) I knew a fire would be coming, I just didn’t know where. This time the fire is about 5 miles away from my work.

This is a picture from Mr. R’s school, the lunch area. Those are not clouds, that is smoke and this picture was taken at 11:00 am. His school is about 2 miles from the fire, and some of the students and teachers had to be evacuated. Please keep everyone in your prayers. The only fire related thing that has affected my house is that there is ash everywhere.

Last year it was 5 miles away from my school. Two totally different locations and yet the fire follows me! Ah! Anyways, the fire has basically led to no outside participation in anything this weekend. Thus no running. Alas, I’m back to the gym for Amp’d Abs tonight, and I think I’m going to do 20-20-20, which is run, bike, and elliptical for 20 minutes each. I like that routine because it’s a nice mix up of all different muscles.

Anyways, Nordstrom Rack had some sick deals this weekend and I went a little holiday dress crazy. I will take pictures soon, but as for now, I got two Trina Turk dresses, a Tory Burch Dress and a Max Studio dress. Talk about bargain shopping, these were the normal prices,

Tory Burch – $450 – Nordstrom Rack Price $170 + 60 % off = $70
Trina Turk – $ 395 – Nordstrom Rack Price $ 125 + 60 % off = $50
Trina Turk – $395 – Nordstrom Rack Price $ 88 + 60 % off = $35
Max Studio – $250 – Nordstrom Rack Price $ 60 + 40% off = $36

If I bought those dresses all regular price it would have been over 1,600 dollars. How ridiculous is that? Anyways, now I have all my holiday dresses bought and hung in my closet and I am absolutely in love with them all, I’m obsessed with sales racks, to say the least. The best part is I already have shoes and tights to go with all of them, and I can wear them all to work. Killing many birds with one stones. Okay enough justification.

So all us runners like to celebrate right? A glass of champagne every now and again? Well my friend over at Leaving and loving on a Jet plane, who blogs about her life while her husband is away with the Air Force, is giving away these PINK adorable Marie Antoinette Coup Stemware from Pottery Barn. I’m obsessed with them and you can enter the drawing here. Hey, you could even give them to someone you love this Christmas.

As for the upcoming Runner’s Christmas list… if you have any ideas email me at danicakoo@gmail.com, but it’s coming together! It will be posted on December 1st, which is coming up soon!
