A Few of My Running Favorites

1. Runner's World Magazine... I'm a magazine girl anyway and I really love this one.
2. Garmin 305 Watch... I got this for Christmas when I was pregnant with Maddy, before I really stared running. It has seen some serious miles. I know the newer ones (I think 405) are quite a bit updated and sleeker. I know a lot of smart phones have Apps to track miles but I like to run sans phone.
3. Shoes I have worn and loved: Asics Gel Nimbus 130 (lots of cushion, meant for a slightly heavier runner, it is a heavier shoe so I don't recommend it for marathoning); Brooks Ghost. I ran in this one for a long time. Wore it out and got a new shoe. And now, I'm back in my worn out shoe because I loved this shoe so much. It is light weight, no frills but it just breaks in amazingly well. Puma FAAS 500. This shoe is awesome. Very similar to the Brooks Ghost but is made for a more narrow foot. Next on my list... I want to try one from the Nike Lunar series. We will see.
4. Clothes... from Athleta http://www.athleta.net/chi/. I know they can be expensive so it's what I ask for on my birthday and at Christmas. Other favorites would be my Under Armour t-shirts. I got these on the clearance rack at Sports Authority probably for $10 each. They are made of that dri fit material (these feel more like cotton but they are definitely not). I can't run in a cotton t-shirt. I just can't any more.
