Hey, Good Lookin’!

ByFlecks of Lex January 24, 2014

So, you may have noticed that I gave my blog a minor facelift over the past week. You can thank a perfectly-timed snow day for that one! What do you think?

One of my goals is to post more, and give a little bit more TLC to my blog. I’m really starting to get into it, and I love getting feedback and comments from all of you!

Now that I have a few months under my belt, I’d like to know: What would you like to see on the blog? What are some things that you like reading about on Flecks of Lex? I have a few exciting things coming down the pipeline that I can’t wait to share with all of you, but I thought now might be a good time to get some feedback.

Please share your thoughts in the comments section!

For now, I’ll leave you with this throwback jam:

Byflecksoflex July 14, 2015

Happy Monday, friends! Today, I’m just dropping in with a quick post to tell you about an e-book I’m reading. My fellow Sweat Pink Ambassador from Snacking in Sneakers shared her latest e-book with me, and now I’m passing on the word.

Byflecksoflex May 19, 2014

A few weeks ago, I ran my first 4-mile race, which is also the first race I’ve run in about two years. The race was called The Cougar Dash (not that kind of cougar), and I was invited to race by my teammate Nikki. Her daughter attends Seneca Lake Elementary School, and the school’s PTA…

Fit Fashion Review: Women’s Active by Old Navy Leggings

ByFlecks of Lex January 14, 2014

Friday night, I grudgingly trudged over to Old Navy for some leggings. I’d never actually tried their leggings before. In fact, the only Old Navy active wear I had ever owned is an orange fleece that is buried among my fitness gear, and I bought it years ago for $7. (It’s still super warm and…

Mix it Up: Rock Climbing at Earth Treks

ByFlecks of Lex October 19, 2013

I’d never been before this past spring, but I’m glad I tried it! It’s extremely challenging, fun, and a fantastic workout!
