Running with the Sun

Hey guys, this week has been crazy trying to get the blog up and organizing my make-up drawers! i went through this past week and looked through all of my beauty products and threw out all the products that are out of date or i know i wont use and no one i know will want to use it, so now its all ready to start the blog up. 
If you don't really know what this blog is for, its going to be a mixture of tutorials and reviews, and also some tips and tricks in not just beauty but health so you might occasionally get some work out or healthy eating tips in the blog as well. For now the posts will be about once a week until i know how compiled my schedule will really be for the next few weeks, when i find out about how my summer schedule will work ill get back to you all about it and plan specific days of the week i can sit down and blog!

Its that time of the year again when there a probably several 5K's coming to your area! Its been a long winter i know, and for those of you (dont worry im here with you) who didnt make the time to train for those 5k's during the spring are now frantically training in preparation, need a kick of motivation. My first suggestion is to check your running shoes! these are your most important tools in running because without comfortable shoes you will be full of aches and pains during and after your workout. Some tips for good shoes :

• Buy new laces for them every 3 months (old ones tend to stretch and trip you)
• Shoes with some type of gel insoles built in are the best for hips and lower back
• Made with durable materials
•  GRIPS on the bottom (There is nothing worse than slipping on wet pavement and falling on concrete)

Its also time to check and make sure you've got some good shorts, spandex (for shorter running shorts), t-shirts, and for women good sports bras! When it comes to water i just use a plain plastic bottle from Walmart, or a bottle of water, no need to have designer bottles for running unless you want to own one.
And the last step to a great run is a good playlist. My favorite training playlist this week is just a generic playlist i found on you-tube and actually liked! But if this playlist isn't exactly your style look some music up on you-tube or just look up running playlists, you are bound to find something to run to and get you motivated! 
until next time,
