Running Swoonfest

Now that I am slowly but surely jumping on the running bandwagon for the upcoming Monument 10k, I can't help but swoon over the awesome bounty available to runners. In fact, a short trip to Dick's this past weekend scored me two new pairs of running shorts and two new sports bras. Now I can finally wash my nasty clothes more often. Sorry, was that TMI? I've actually worn my old sports bra for 3 workouts in a row. I mean....I'm gonna sweat anyway right?! Ummm yeah, so hence the logic behind purchasing two new "support systems."

Here are some things I've been lusting over lately but just don't have the courage (if I have nice gear I'll be forced to run right?!) or the $ to buy...

I love the Under Armour shorts that I currently wear way too often. Sadly, this brand tends to be more expensive than others, so I made myself say NO to these beauties.



What runner doesn't LOVE a Garmin? I really can't go anywhere in the car without my Garmin Nuvi GPS (her name is Karen). Applying that same logic, I really can't run anywhere without a Garmin Forerunner. But at $300, I'll be sticking to writing my running routes on a folded envelope and carrying it in my hand. I'm like a running cavewoman. 

Love these Nike Running capris. I'm usually a shorts kinda girl but I would probably feel cooler in these.


I like bright colors. It makes me feel like I have less of a chance of getting hit by a car or cyclist.

I'm not really running far enough to need one of these babies...but I wish I was. Seriously if I can get to a distance that requires GU energy, I'll be such a rockstar. Although I'm sure these things taste like crap.


How can I order a body like that?? If I run, I'll get one too right?!

I did end up running 5 miles on Monday during my lunch break...go me!! The weather was just way too nice to pass up a run. Now I'm taking a day off to "recover" and tomorrow I plan on hitting up the dreadmill despite the fact that it is supposed to be 75 outside. Lately I've been getting home too late to run outside. Thank goodness for the time change this weekend!

    a good supportive sports bra is vital to my work out routine. With my doub-ble-vay D's I need to strap these suckers down.

    ..and onces a month when they get a little "fuller" I need a little extra help too.

    I'm with you on the workout clothes - I don't necessarily wash my shorts everytime I use them.

    If you have an Ipod I recommend the attachment. Even if you don't have the Nike Running shoes you can just get the little key keeper that you attach to your shoes and keep the sensor in that.

    So when you run during lunch do you shower afterward?

    HAHA LB I have the TOTAL opposite problem...sads.

    And I'm probably the only person on earth to never own an iPod. I actually like to run without any music...call me weird but it totally throws off my mental game.

    As for running during lunch, I only do it on days that I work from home so I can sit around smelly and no one will care but the cats :)
