Listen, I am still trying to figure out the ins and outs of this sport! Some may say “it's just running” BUT it's so much MORE!  I have tried several shoes, finally found one that I LOVE for now (this may change again)!

I have used a belt as well; they are not my favorite! But that's me, not you! Everyone is different and you won't know what works for you unless you try! This season I'm going to try a vest!

Love these pants! If I am being honest, I often times check Marshalls or Tj Maxx first before ordering online. I am always looking to save a buck and I can sometimes get them a little less there! HOWEVER I will buy them offline if I can't find them! ...

I have an older version of these Beats. Unfortunately, I cannot wear them running, they are not comfortable for me. But I do use them to walk, work out, clean the house, drown out the kids, ignore my husband and for zoom calls.  Great set of noise cancelling head phones!
