I love the belt bags for my runs and walks. I usually have my dog with me so this can comfortably fit my phone, trash bags for the dogs, and my sunscreen and chapstick.

My favorite running socks but it had to be these exact ones. The thickness is perfect so I don’t get blisters and they fit great. I like this length so that they are not too high up on my calf.

I have been loving these tops to run in. They are loose fitting so they allow air flow and do not cling to my skin.

These are my second favorite running shorts compared to the lululemon shorts. These still hold everything in nicely and have great color options. This is definitely a little easier on the wallet.

My favorite leggings for winter and fall running! These keep me just warm enough. The waist band doesn’t roll down and they are super soft and comfortable. In my opinion they are 100% worth the price tag

I absolutely love these for running in the spring and fall. They are the perfect thickness and I love that they have the thumb holes so I dab wear my gloves over the sweatshirt.

These are another favorite of the lululemon shorts. Very similar to the align shorts and are just as comfortable. These do not roll down when exercising and fit very comfortably.

I prefer running belts over belt bags when running without my dog. These are much more compact and don’t flop against me while running.

I love these for when I’m going on shorter runs or if my primary headphones are dead. I also enjoy my AirPods for walking.

My favorite sunscreen for when I’m running. I feel like this is lightweight and when I’m sweating it doesn’t melt off my face.
