Run, Girl, Run.

(My gear for an easy run: Nike 'Cyclone' Running Jacket, Zella Live In Leggings, Nike 'Free v4.0" Running Shoe, Under Armour Seamless Sports Bra (similar). For longer distance I typically wear more supported shoes and for warmer climates a t-shirt instead.)

I thought I would run a marathon or a half before I ever got a pixie hair cut but now that that is out of my #30before30 way the biggest obstacle on my list is that very long run.

As January came and gone, I have a few people and sparks helping to motivate this goal:

At Nordstrom.com we put together nice little kit for all that you may need for your workout wear and has a perfect playlist for my morning runs with Elyse. Do a little shopping and download here >>

Nike recently came out with a 5k/10k/half/full marathon training guide that makes it seems so easy. It started this week with a single mile and will slowly progress as the weeks go on. This guide coupled with my recently restored Fuelband energized my routine.

My sister, former long cross country runner, is by far the biggest encouragement; she has already found multiple half marathons for us to run this year and is always helpful in correcting my pace and form. (Note: I have great form but slow pace... I will take it)

The Nordstrom Active playlist is great for the mornings, but for my nightime workouts or when I need an extra boost, I have perfected a workout playlist over the years. If you like pop music then I recommend giving it a listen while you run. (Not showing: Sweet Disposition... perfect start to every run.)

Also missing from the playlist are my favorite BootieSF mashups. They are a mix of old and new songs with the perfect power beat.

 

Now you know my agenda for 2013 maybe you can join. We can beast together... slowly but with great form.
