I took my new-found knowledge on running apparel to the Marshalls in Martinsville where I found a pair of black Marika pants, a heather grey Marika Tek base layer shirt and a coral Avia Quarter Zip pullover. My favorite feature about the pull-over is the thumb holes which keeps my hands cozy and warm inside the sleeves without the bulk of gloves. Do you need to run out and get a new wardrobe for running? No, but this shopping trip was sort of a kick-off party for the major commitment that I had just made.

I'm a local MHC runner too! Katie Croft pointed me to your blog. I've done the MHC Half twice now, and I plan on running it again this spring as I prep for my first full marathon in May. I still remember when I had trouble believing I could run 13.1 miles, and now I'm training for 26.2! Good luck with your training! I wanted to let you know that Runner's World has an awesome little "app" on their website called "What to Wear". It lets you input all the variables about the weather, your workout, and your preference, and then it spits out a detailed explanation of what you should wear for that particular workout. It's never failed me, and it is great for summer or winter running! Check it out here - http://www.runnersworld.com/what-to-wear Happy training!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading, Liz. I checked out the app and it's very helpful. Keep sending any tips that you want to share. I appreciate it and am sure that other runners will too. :-)
