Can't Run Without...

I mean, I *COULD* run without these things, but I tend to get really irritated in those cases...

the specific combination of a pair of under armour socks over a pair feetures socks (M)

Ryder Salty Dog sunglaseses. even when it's overcast. after watching a bug the size of a mechanical pencil eraser lodge itself into Ben's eye while running one day, I've never run without them. they also prevent spiderwebs in the eyes...ugghhhh.

the 405. if only for the pacing. since I've started getting faster, I like to actually GO fast. but that's not a great idea on longer distances and I have a HORRIBLE internal monitor for my speed. plus I just really like to *KNOW* that I went exactly 5.62 miles (like this morning). without the 405, I would spend the entire day wondering if I actually went the full 5.5 and doubting myself.

two c9 sports bras.

a pair of sauconys. which currently need to be replaced. i've worn three different models of saucony, and one model of brooks. i hated the brooks. i'll enver betray saucony again.

a running skirt. this is the ONLY reason I'm sad for cooler weather coming. I love cold weather running, but I will miss my skirts.

body glide. if you don't know, you don't want to know. trust me.

dog spray and whistle. it's pretty much just mace. i dont' run anywhere unsafe, but I'm scared of dogs off leashes. and i'll tell you WHY i'm scared of dogs off leashes. because dogs off leashes are often scared of strangers running towards them. and when they are scared they bite.

the stick. well, i don't run WITH the stick. that would be awkward. but i roll out my muscles to warm them up before I go out.
