This morning after hitting the snooze button 6 times, Billy really loves it when I do that; I finally peeled myself up out of bed. I turned on Modern Family and started running on my treadmill. Besides thinking about how the tag on my shorts was tearing the skin off of my back (PS for my first marathon training, I thought that the chaffing mark on my lower back from my shorts was skin cancer and it freaked me out. I didn’t know what chaffing was and it didn’t hurt until I was in the shower) I didn’t think about a thing besides how hilarious Phil is.
8 miles later and I had approximately 7 minutes to get ready for school, I am looking mighty fine today, don’t be jealous.

I would use them for RUNNING. I was just thinking how badly I need some on my run the other day. Not sure my sunglasses that take up half of my face would look normal while running ;)

Brittany
I would use the sunglasses to run with,so I wouldn’t look so silly running in big shades! Hahaha. No joke though, ran a marathon wearing regular sunglasses, looked hot. Hot mess. Hah
Sarah
Hi Janae! My favorite running accessory is my Bondi Band. I LOVE those. They hold your hair back and soak up buckets of sweat like you would not believe. I would use the Nike sunglasses for (duh) running in the blazing sun of Oklahoma. They also look like they’d do a good job of blocking the giant tumbleweeds blowing around in these gale force winds…
Brandi
My favourite running accessory right now is my Lululemon Ear Warmer Headband. It’s a chilly time of year and this ear warmer keeps my ears toasty(amazing to me considering how thin it is)…and wards off the brain freeze!
Jill
I love Nike! Those shades are fierce! I absolutely cannot run without my LIVESTRONG runners hat. It’s faded and stained from runs in the rain, snow and sun but its super comfortable and my husband can always pick me out of a race because it’s pink!
I would use those shades for running my 2nd half marathon next month! I’m hoping to break 2 hours :)
Mom#to#three
I would use these glasses for running – my running partner would be so jealous!
Sarah
Apparently I can’t read and my comment was supposed to be 2 comments. Sooooo I also love running with my Road ID. I feel naked without it and it gives me a little peice of mind.
Let’s pretend that I can follow directions.

Favorite running accessory…my Garmin! Love it! Oh wait, I really like my iPod too. :)
mary (sisters running the kitchen)
i don’t use much accessory-wise when it comes to running…I like my Garmin during training…otherwise I like to run free of electronics. So I guess my all-time favorite would have to be my sneakers…Mizuno Wave Inspires!
Jessica
I would definitely use these glasses for running in the bright Texas sun (especially during the summer)!
Brandi
Yep, I would use these sunglasses for running…and probably baseball, too, it’s always good to keep the sun out of your eyes when baseballs are flying towards you! I love the fierce, fast look of these – I, in turn, would feel fierce and fast!
Nicole @ running-nonstop.blogspot.com
If I had the new Nike sunglasses, I could chunk my cheapos that were in a race packet.. Now days I run in the dark alot, but when we see daylight until 8:00 I’ll use the mess out of them to run against the blaring MS sun!
Rebecca
My favorite running accessory is my iPod. Need my music. Can barely help from bustin’ a move with some of my fave tunes!

Sandra
Does chapstick or gum count as an accessory?
Question about the glasses…do they stay on your nose…my trouble is that I sweat something awful and glasses fall off…can I assume they found away around that issue?

Favorite running accessory: a 50-pound, 8.5 year-old Brittany spaniel named Luna. She’s trained for 10 marathons with me, and I feel like something is missing when I have to run alone.

sMiles From Callie
My FAVORITE running accessory is a quality pair of socks!! They’re a must!!
Lauren
My favorite running accessory is my nano iPod because it clips right onto my clothes. I always hated running with an arm band, and now I don’t have to.
Also, my favorite time to run is when the sun is rising, so these sunglasses would be perfect for the second half of my runs!
sMiles From Callie
I would use those sunglasses for running during the day. Every time I’m running towards the sun I have to squint and feel like I’m wasting energy! Would love to have these to help make my runs that much better!
