I recently learned about a new service called Mercury Mile - similar to Stitch Fix, they send a box filled with clothes and accessories, geared toward an active lifestyle. After reading through their website, I only had one question. WHERE DO I SIGN UP?! I see a lot of these types of posts from other bloggers where they're given free things in exchange for a review. I just want to have a full disclosure here that I wasn't contacted by the company for anything like that, and I paid for my box on my own. In other words... this is my real opinion ;) Step 1 - Create Your Runner ProfileI started by filling out my profile! It asked practical questions about what size I wear and what activities I do. Then it moved on to fun questions about which races I'm training for, what colors I like, fit preferences, and my Instagram/Pinterest links. Step 2 - Reserve a BoxTo sign up for one of the very first boxes Mercury Mile shipped, I paid a $20 stylist fee which applies as a credit toward anything I keep. Step 3 - Approve Styled ContentsBefore my box shipped, I received an email from my stylist, Helen. She seems fab, and I'd like to be her best friend! She gave a quick summary of the things she picked for my box and why, then I got a detailed list of the box. There weren't any pictures and the description of each item was fairly vague, to keep everything a surprise when I open my box! At this point, I knew I was getting a tank, tee, shorts, capris, socks, and a couple of free gifts! One thing I really liked was the transparency - the email lists how much each item costs. I had to click a link in the email to approve the cost, then my box was on its way! Step 4 - Run Your Mercury MileThe best part - my box is finally here!!! The first thing in it when I opened my box was a handwritten, full page note from Helen, which I thought was a nice, personalized touch! Here's what I got! Pink Rabbit tank Black Rabbit shorts with tons of pockets! Black reflective Asics tights Gray & black Rabbit tee Balega socks Reflective paint Clif shot Goodr sunglasses (not pictured) I love everything and decided to keep all of it! I've already run in the tights, pink tank, and socks, and they are all winners! I'm going to try out the new shorts on my long run Saturday, since all those pockets will be perfect for gu. I'm also going to ask if I can exchange the other Rabbit top - it's an XS (that's the size I put in my runner profile) but it's a little on the shorter side. Overall, I'm so happy with my first Mercury Mile experience!! Edited 10/6 to add that I am able to exchange my shirt. Mercury Mile is super speedy and has the best customer service!

Hello, my name is Alyssa!I'm a momma to Emerson Lilly and two fur babies, a distance runner, and just a girl full of sparkle and quirks. I love traveling to races and exploring new places to run! I started this blog in 2014 as more of a journal to keep track of training for my first marathon, and I've continued to post about training, races, and other things happening in my life. Also, I'd like to be your best friend. :) Categories
