The little things

Friday, January 10th,

Today I ran in my new kicks

And I've decided Newtons are my shoe of choice- 

 I have the Gravity and Terra and love them both

They make me happy

 

And that got me thinking

I've been doing this running thing long enough to know, it's the little things that make a difference

Here's my short list:

Urban halo head band

I use one of these every time I run 

It keeps my bangs out of my eyes 

Keeps my pesky glasses from bouncing around

I use it as an ear warmer in winter

 

I love the fabric

It feels like the softest brushed cotton

Like your favorite broken in yoga pants

Perfectly stretchy- but stays put

I found mine at the TCM expo

I need to order more

You can find yours HERE

Under armour tech tee

I literally have clocked thousands of miles in this shirt

Run marathons in it

Again, it comes down to the softness and ease of movement of the fabric to me

Under armour has it down to a science

I scour the TJ Maxx racks for mine- actually- I just wear that green one over and over and over!

 

This 'flip belt' has become my new favorite thing-

I used to use a Nathan fuel belt

But found this one at this years' TCM expo- it is great!

One of the flattest, easiest fuel belts around

Does not move!

Holds keys, iPhone, fuel, anything---

One word of advice: go up a size -

Get one-

Seriously- you'll thank me

Find yours HERE

And last, but not least-

Socks

Ahhhh socks 

For those of you that have read past reports- 

I'm a notorious blisterer

And my toes love to destroy the toes 

For long runs and marathons 

I've found that feetures elite

Work perfectly for me

The 'sock lock' technology hugs my foot and protects it from shoe abrasion

These are synthetic fiber- so they run hot

But worth it- make sure you get the light- not ultra light- 

For shorter recovery runs- I love the

Feetures elite merino wool- they are my favorite again, because of their feel. Much softer than smart wool- wash up softer as well- 

And there you have it

A little bit of happiness 

 

And while I would love to be sponsored by any or all of these brands

(call me, pretty please!)

I am not,

Just love finding what works for me, and passing it on

 

What's on your go to list?
