Life Hacks for Runners

Since today is a rest day, I wanted to share a new (to me) discovery. After my first two runs, I got very frustrated with the cords to my ear-buds flopping around. I've seen several products in stores and on TV before that are designed to solve this particular problem but I hate buying gimmicky products that are really good for only one purpose.

Getting Ready

My number one concern about running in winter is the weather. I am a cold natured person to start with so I like being prepared and comfortable. While browsing Pinterest I found this great infographic by SparkPeople on how to layer up properly for running. It showed me that even though it feels chilly out, all I need for a 45 degree winter day is a base layer long sleeve shirt, a pullover or sweatshirt and running pants. No need to bundle up like a snow bunny when you are about to expend energy and heat things up!
