Hello! I hope your summer running is going well! Summer brings changes to my running. I drink more water and change my running wardrobe. Here are a few items that I need for a good summer run. 1. Sunblock. I put on sunblock first thing in the morning so it has a chance to soak in before I head out the door for a run. I also keep this basket of sunblock (and bug spray) by the back door so that my family remembers to use it. 2. A hat or a visor. Wearing a hat or visor keeps sun out of your eyes and off of your face. It is a must for me in the summer! 3. Running Sunglasses. These are a must! I do not spend a lot of money of running sunglasses because I tend to get sunblock on them or they get scratched. I like sunglasses made specifically for running because they are designed to not slip down a sweaty nose. 4. My ALL TIME FAVORITE shorts from Road Runner Sports. You can find the link here. I love these shorts because I like having two zipper pockets along with a velcro pocket in the back. I also think they are very reasonably priced. Right now the full price shorts are $34.99 and some less popular colors are on sale for $24.99. (There is an additional discount if you are a VIP member of Road Runner Sports.) I recently purchased a pair of black shorts for my running friend as a birthday gift and one pair in a maroon color for myself (on sale). With a black tank, some of the colors offered at the sale price look nice. 5. Running t-shirts or tanks. I like the ones from Old Navy. I recently purchased this one in black. Although I am 5'7", I like to purchase shirts from Old Navy and Gap in Tall sizes. It gives me additional length so that my shirt does not ride up at all while running. 6. Body Glide Anti-Chafe Balm. In the summer months, it is not uncommon to have some chafing. I often often experience chafing under my arm where a tank may rub. A little of this balm before running can make a big difference. Happy Summer Running! -Stephanie
