Running Attire

Hey guys! So who's all with me to start getting into shape? I thought I'd give some running tips for beginners or even those who are already runners.
For starters I thought I'd share some of my favorite things to wear while running.
SHOES- So important to get a good pair of shoes! Especially if you plan on running long distance. I'll tell you from experience. When I first started running I just bought my normal shoe size and as I started running longer distances I was getting more and more blisters! So I did a lot of research and discovered that you should buy 1/2 size if not even a full size larger than you wear in regular shoes. Your feet swell as you run and really need room to be able to breath. So when I finally bought some great running shoes, it made a HUGE difference!!!
There are 2 brands of running shoes that I love and probably will never get anything different.
1- These babies  -Asic Gel-Kayano. These are excellent shoes. Very supportive, comfortable, breathable, and I think pretty affordable. You can see me wearing them in this pic.

2- And these- Inov8  Last summer I started getting into cross fit.  These were the top recommended shoes.  They're very light and comfortable. The new trend seems to be " running as if in your bare feet" barely anything there. I haven't run long distances in these but they're excellent for short runs, working out in the gym, and any classes you take. AND they're obviously PERFECT for cross fit!

SOCKS-I like to wear thin socks. They make running socks too that are a little better to breath. Just remember, your feet are the most important thing when it comes to running. You NEED to take good care of your feet!

TOP- My favorite shirts to wear are usually the Nike Dry-fit. They're comfortable, not tight, and you don't sweat like a banchy. They also have some REALLY awesome long sleeved ones that are great to just pull right over your t-shirt!

BRA- My very favorite sports bra is just one that I've bought at Target- Champion.

HAIR-I love having my hair totally out of my face! These head bands are my favorite. I got this one in Brazil! Wish I had bought more!!!

A little word of advice. This helps me! Put your workout clothes on, pull your hair back, tie your shoes, grab your water bottle and head out. Don't give yourself time to think about it otherwise you won't go!Have a great work out and look good doing it!

 If anyone has any questions, or suggestions please let me know. I'd love a few post requests as well.

Beijos!!
