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.

Do shoes count as an accessory? If not, then probably my spibelt – I always carry my phone, just in case . . . the belt works better than a ziplock bag in my sports bra.

I would wear these for running. I don’t currently wear sunglasses when I run and was just looking at some the other day. Squinting so much is giving me wrinkles!

I”m the same as sooooo many people, but I can’t get enough of my garmin! I bought it last fall ad have been in heaven ever since!

My favorite running accessory right now are the knuckle lights I just got. I LOVE them! It is completely dark when I go running at 5am and I have almost been hit by cars and twisted my ankle on rocks I couldn’t see but no more! The knuckle lights light my way and they are AWESOME!

I would definitely wear these sunglasses to run in but they would probably look pretty cool for all other outdoor activities.
