Running!

The weather is beginning to warm up. If running/jogging is something you're considering doing, here's my "3-S's" advice before you get started:

Support: Be sure you are wearing the right bra so you have the best support. If you're not supported, your back will ache and you'll likely give up sooner than you would if you had the proper support. (If you're an unlucky 'well endowed' woman like myself, I recommend Enell Sports Bras).

Shoes: Invest in a good pair of running shoes. Go to the running store and get measured for the best fit. Generally, you're going to pay more for a good pair of running shoes.

Safety: Please do not run alone in the dark or in secluded places. Don't believe that "it won't happen to me". Find a running buddy, try to run when there is still light outside, or stay on well-lit busy main streets. If you must listen to music in your earphones, please don't play it loudly or better yet, just use one earphone and leave the other out. Wear reflectors when it's darker and be sure that your spouse or someone knows exactly where you're planning to run-just in case.

Running is my first passion... even falls before Zumba believe it or not. I love it. Running allows me to clear my mind of things/stress/etc. It's me and the pavement. I go on long runs on Saturday mornings in the Provo/Orem area so if you're ever interested in joining me, let me know! Would love the company. And I'm not interested in speed-rather enjoying the weather, company, and nature. :)
