Warm & Sexy Winter Running GearThis year, I am determined to break the cycle of sweat-pants and find winter running gear that makes me feel so warm and cozy and yet so sexy that I can't wait to go out for a run and show it off.
So here I take you along with me as I peer into my closet and pick up a few new items to, in order to put together that perfect yet affordable winter running gear with that personal running mom flare. Running Tights My winters so far have consisted of piling on a couple pairs of sweat pants. However, this year I have lost a good deal of weight and I'm determined to show off my new sexy butt without freezing it off. So here are some tips I have compiled from other running moms on the perfect winter running pants and tights. Wool Socks I've taken for granted that my toes are just always freezing in the winter and that's just a part of life. But come to find out this is not accepted by the hard core runner.
Bad enough that the toenails often come off from running, no reason the toes should have to go through any more battle scars. Instead the freezing can be combated and the toes protected with wool socks. Saran Wrap If you plan on experiencing a lot of snow or freezing rain this winter but don't want to be stopped by it, you will want to keep saran wrap in your house to wrap your feet in before you go for a run. However, before you do so, check out these VERY important tips on putting on saran wrap and other cold weather running tips. Long Sleeved Fitted Running Shirt I have never purchased a running shirt in my life. However I have two drawers full of running shirts that I got running various races. Usually they just provide a cotton tshirt which if you've ever tried, you probably know it is hell to run in. But some of the bigger races, usually half marathons and marathons, provide that special polyester, moisture-wicking fabric shirt that is made for running, and these are what I run in. The only problem is, they usually come in a short sleeve, but this is easily solved by throwing on a long sleeved shirt (cotton is fine because it's not touching your skin) over your running shirt. However if you want a really sexy long sleeved running shirt that looks and feels so good it makes you want to go for a run just to wear it, check out these tips on purchasing running shirts for cold weather. Running Jacket Here are a few of my running jacket selections. Feel free to dream with me on that hardcore overpriced jacket, you'll finally earn the right to tell your husband you're buying after you qualify for the Boston marathon. But no worries, you can also find some very reasonable selections to show off that you're a running mom that can do it all and afford it too. Running Hat Here are a selection of running hats to keep your warm during your winter runs, whether you prefer something to just cover your ears or to cover your entire head. Running Gloves What was that my mama always told me? Keep your extensions warm and the rest of you will be warm. So we've covered the head and toes, now let's take care of the hands and fingers. There are some fancy running gloves such as the Under Armour that even has an extra pocket to carry cash or a key in. But if you live in a place like New York City, where peddlers line the streets, take advantage of the $3 or two-for$5 deal and your hands will be just fine. Other Running Accessories The nice thing about cold weather is with all that extra winter running gear, one can find a place to carry keys, change and other small things. But if you'd still need a little something extra to carry your gus, here are some other running accessories to check out. Running Shoes And since the most important thing in every running season is to have a good pair of running shoes, here are some tips on finding the perfect all weather running shoe for you in order to make your run a little easier and help you avoid injury.
