Today I’m linking up with Rachel (she’s taking over for Jenna this week!) and sharing my top five favorite items I’ve been using when I run this winter:
Victory Fleece Pullover from Target // I love this sweatshirt and have it in two colors. It’s super warm and I love how the back is just a little bit longer and covers my butt. Great for running and just bumming around the house.
New Balance Women’s WT10v2 Minimus Trail Running Shoe // These are my second pair of Minimus shoes and I won’t wear anything else! They are on the barefoot running spectrum and have a Vibram sole. I find them so comfortable and use them for all of my runs.
Garmin Forerunner 220 // Mark surprised me with this watch when I signed up for the half marathon. While I originally balked at the price, I have used it on a few outdoor runs and I quickly discovered its worth. I love that I can see my time, distance and pace at a glance. Another handy feature is the ability to upload my runs onto the Runkeeper app.
The Flipbelt // I found this handy belt on Pinterest and it is so great! I feel safest when I bring my phone while running, but am always frustrated with my arm band. The Flipbelt lets me carry my phone around my waist (along with my keys, etc) with no jiggling around! It’s awesome.
Bon Jovi Pandora Station // I do most of my weekday runs during a break in our homeschooling and on the treadmill. Not my favorite way to run, but you do what you gotta do, right? Those miles can be brutal though, so I’m not ashamed to tell you that classic rock gets me through. The Bon Jovi station on Pandora has a pretty good mix of songs to keep me distracted.
