Vacation! Heading up to Utah to visit my baby nephew and to run the Ragnar Wasach Back relay race. This my first time running a race of this extent. Although I may be lacking experience I here are a couple tips I’ve picked up on running gear.
1. get good shoes. not too old! old shoes are comfy but could damage your feet. most running shoes last 300-500 miles or 6 months.
2. get light-weight shirts that breathe. cotton not preferable. especially avoid grey cotton where every spot of body moisture is visible.
3. shorts. must be shorts unless running in frigid weather. make them light weight. like your top it must breathe. mesh or polyester work quite well.
4. must have a supportive sports bra! quality is essential.
5. i am an advocate of underwear built in shorts. if you don’t want/have a pair make sure your underwear is no too loose and not too tight to avoid excessive chafing or irritation.
6. socks. not much to say here. i wear normal ones. just make sure you wear them to prevent foul odor.
Did I forget anything? You may want to run with wrist bands to wipe perspiration off your face or a simple headband to keep hair away from face and to accessorize your look. Yes, it is ok to be fashionable even when running! Now I can’t wait to cross that finish line!

On a much different note I came upon this program on IN STYLE magazine’s website and had a fun time. Basically you upload a photo of you with your hair tied back and pick a celeb hairdo( I choose Rihanna) and try it out. The one below is my favorite. Not because I want my hair like Rihanna but because it was the craziest.
Can’t believe I just posted this picture! * embarrassing * Now it’s you’re turn! Blog about it and Simply Memzelle will link your post to our website. Ready, GO!
