The rain has been pretty relentless in the Pacific Northwest.
So… to inspire a vacation to someplace warm and sunny, I’ve started to pack my eco-friendly travel bag. Along with running shorts and bathing suits, I’ve packed lots of lightweight dresses and skirts. And of course, I’m including the wonderful Clarks Un.hoist walking sandal.

Ever since I was little, I’ve hoped to wake up to snow in Seattle on Christmas day. There is a whoppin’ 8% chance of snow on December 25th in the Pacific Northwest, so maybe Santa will deliver the fluffy stuff this year. Fingers crossed. Snowboots waiting.
If, by some strange chance it doesn’t happen, I’ve got a back-up wish. A list of wishes actually—for all things fun and fitness-related!

As a native Seattleite and runner, I’ve done my fair share of running the Seattle full and half marathons. This challenging course was the first marathon I ever ran and I qualified for the Boston marathon. Pretty exciting!
This year, as part of the Chuckit Running Group, I got to run the Seattle half marathon as a pacer.

After many years spent hiking, camping and mountain climbing, I’ve accumulated a lot of gear from The North Face. But one of my favorites is The North Face Redpoint Jacket. Granted, this wonderful jacket isn’t anything you would catch legendary mountaineer Conrad Anker or climber/photographer Jimmy Chin wearing, but it’s done a fantastic job keeping me warm and dry on urban explorations of Seattle.
Cute and casual, the women’s Redpoint Jacket has become a well-worn everyday essential. It’s great for commuting to work, wearing on weekends or putting on after yoga practice.

When the sun is shining and the sky is blue, I live in flip-flops or running shoes. Now that the sun has gone into hiatus and the sky is a million shades of grey, my running shoes remain. But the flip-flops have been replaced with the wonderful KEEN Cheyenne clog.
This cozy slip-on is the first thing I put on when I come home at night. Featuring a wool upper with a soft micro fleece lining, it’s as comfortable as a slipper, yet it also has a grippy rubber outsole for wearing outside. Plus, the covered cork insole and rubber toe bumper promise long-lasting comfort and protection.

Whenever the Seattle rains come down, I put on my Merrell Tetra Launch Waterproof boots and smile. Forget Dancing with the Stars. Enter Gene Kelly and “Singin’ in the (Seattle) Rain”! Okay, so maybe not quite that dramatic, but these flat boots from Merrell have the ability to inspire a smile or uplift a mood on some pretty gloomy days.
Crossing jaunty pirate style with a sensible Wellington, this popular style is a tall boot that instills a sense of adventure into the every day. It’s a versatile mid-calf style with a waterproof leather upper and unique straps that wrap around the back of the boot.
