Mophie
Since I will be trying my hand at vlogging during my
upcoming races, I’ll need to make sure that my phone is properly charged. I will especially need it since I run at
least 3 apps simultaneously. My friend
suggested the Mophie Charger. I almost
got it on Amazon Prime Day, but held off.
I was glad because I was able to get it for free when I upgraded my
phone. It will also be great to have
while I am walking around Disney and using my Touring Plans and
MyDisneyExperience apps! J
Feetures
I had never heard of these until my friend, Cori mentioned
them a few weeks ago when she ran a race in Atlanta. I decided to give them a try. They are super comfy! The important thing is that you have a good,
comfy pair of socks to run with. This
will help you avoid blisters and hot spots.
Salt
Tablets/Sticks
Until I started running over 6 miles, I didn’t think that I
would need these. I don’t know about
you, but I SWEAT!! The first time that I
ran 10 miles I noticed that my eyebrows were crusty after the run (sorry for
the TMI). I immediately went home and
looked into ordering Salt Sticks or something of that nature. I chose the brand pictured below. When I went for my 11 mile run yesterday, I
brought 1 along with me. I took it at
about 3-4 miles. I should have probably
brought two. I’m still testing this
whole process out. I’ll keep you posted.
Body Glide
Over the past 7 months, I keep hearing my running friends
talk about how important having Body Glide is.
Up until a few weeks ago, I haven’t understood why. Since I have been running in leggings, capris
leggings, or my Sparkle Skirts, I haven’t needed it for the “chub rub” (sorry
again for the TMI). When I ran 10 miles
a few weeks ago, I understood why I needed Body Glide. I got chaffing from my sports bra. Ouch!
I immediately visited my favorite site, Amazon, and ordered it. I also went to Walmart and found this to try
why I waited on my Body Glide to come in.
For my long run yesterday, I applied the Gold Bond pre-run. I slipped the Body Glide (or For Her) into
one of the pockets of my Sparkle Skirt (remember how fabulous and handy I told
you that skirt was?). The Body Glide was
small and the perfect size for my Sparkle Skirt. I didn’t even feel it. I was glad that I did that too because I had
missed a spot on the side of my sports bra and I was able to pull it out real
quick during the run. I am happy to
report that I returned from my run chaff-free yesterday. J
Reading Material
As I have mentioned before, I am new to this running thing. This summer, I have taken time to do a little
more research on the subject. I’ve read
articles from Runner’s World and Women's Running. I also just finished reading this book. It was from the 90’s, but I got a lot of good
info from it.
I just ordered this book
from Jeff Galloway.
It should be in any
day. It’s important to be informed about
your subject. I now have a stack of
running, choral teaching and parenting books by my bed. I have A LOT to learn! J
Well, there you have it folks. These are a few of my favorite things. What are some of your must haves or favorite
things pre-running, during running or post running?
