Running colors (and prints)

Training for a marathon takes a lot out of you mentally -- long runs are looongg. My trick for pushing through a mental block is to visualize myself crossing the finish line the day of. There are several scenarios that I play over and over again in my head but they all include me wearing a brightly-colored and/or multi-patterned running outfit. While I know from experience when the actual moment comes the last thing I will be thinking about is how pretty or cute I look, I also know having stylish gear the morning of the race will boost my confidence. (Plus it's great to wear during training!)

  1. That sparkle sweat band is amazing! Would it be lame to wear a sweat band while not actually exercising?

  5. I bought those shorts last night at Dick's sporting goods. They're having a great sale right now. They were only $21. And with those and an Under Armour Dri-Fit shirt and a $10 coupon I only paid $40 including tax. You should check it out.
