New Gear

I went to a wonderful store yesterday, Run On.  They have a few locations throughout the DFW metroplex and they were the nicest most helpful people.  They measured my feet, watched me walk, and jog.  Talked to me about what I wanted to do with the shoes and asked about any problems I'm currently having.  Kandice is who helped me.  She recommended 3 different running shoes for me.  Asics, Brooks, and Mizuno.  I tried each pair on compared them to each while walking around the store.  I chose the  Mizuno Wave® Inspire™ 7 and I LOVE them.  They are very light weight and supportive.  I can't wait for my first run in them. 

They have a few different color choices but I got this color.

I also got a new sports bra.  I had what I thought to be a good sports bra but as soon as I started running, I quickly realized that it was a terrible non-supportive sports bra.  I mean, I was in pain with every step.  Horrible!!  So, I tried a few on and got the Moving Comfort Women's Juno Bra.  I'm in love with this bra.  The ladies don't move an inch with it on.  It isn't the easiest bra to take on and off and I'm a little nervous how I'm going to take it off after a sweaty workout but I think it's going to be so worth it. 



It is a razorback, has adjustable straps, and regular bra closure in the back.

I also got a few pairs of new socks.  I didn't splurge and get the super expensive socks but did get some that are more than what I usually spend.  They are the supporting type of socks and supposedly wick the sweat and everything away.  What I loved about them is they came in lots of different sizes.  I've found  that most women's socks come in a one size fits sizes 6-11.  Well, I wear a 5 1/2 or 6 so those socks are usually big on me.  I put these new ones on and thought they were too small at first but nope.  They just actually fit!!

So, hopefully I can get a run in and try everything out soon!  This week has totally thrown me for a loop since school started this week.  I have to get Carter to school by 7:20 so our routine has completely changed and I have yet to figure out how to run in the mornings.  I'm working on it though so hopefully in the next few days.  I go for my weekly weigh-in tomorrow so I will be back then!  Hope y'all are having a great week!!
