run, forest, run

normally i'd be content with doing a little p90x in the basement, but this semi-warm weather has got me itchin' to be outside alllll the freakin' time. [see, that's the difference between here and florida - when you live somewhere where it's not beautiful all the time, and you've been stuck inside since october, you tend to appreciate the outdoors a little more]. 
35 degree weather didn't stop me from waking up early this morning and getting myself a little run in. note to all: i haven't really ran since last november...cough, 2009...when my 12 crazies and i did ragnar. ja know, running and i have this love-hate relationship when i'm training. so, when i go out and run after 16 months of not having to do it everyday i honestly do miss it. 
so, with that said, i leave you with some of my fav. workout gear:

 tank. zip-up jacket. v-neck tee

running capris. sports bra. running shorts.

new balance shoes. iPod/case. headbands. water bottle.

one thing that's so so so important - if you're going out for a run you need to make sure you have the right kind of shoes. the shoes you wear everyday to the gym aren't going to cut it. make sure you know what kind of support you need in a shoe based on your arch type. if you take care of your feet, they will take care of the rest of your body.

next thing beau and i will be training for? chicago muddy buddy - here we come!

so, go! get out there and run! or walk...whichever you prefer. just get out there and do something. cheers to our tushies.
