The past few days I have been all a buzz regarding the Nike Women’s Marathon I will be running this weekend. I am running only the half. I have shared my excitement of using my new Yurbuds to listen to my new workout music to push #beyondthewall.
Now I am focusing on what to wear!! The race will be in San Francisco. The coast. The forecast says that it will be beautiful, low of 60 and a high of 70. However, what exactly does that mean in a town where I am unfamiliar with the elements!?
The race course is supposed to be beautiful, running the coast line and near historical landmarks.
However, what should my outfit be? I want to be able to identify myself in a race photo … ya know, amidst the other 25,000 runners!!
I will be using the following fitness gear during my race:
I will be fully supported by wearing my UnderArmour Sports Bra.
My iPhone will carry my music (that I am still searching for fun music to listen to) and I will listen to the music through my yurbuds.
I will be using the Nike+ GPS app to log my run.
I will be packing my GU Energy and my phone (and keys) in my iFitness Belt.
I will be watching my heart rate by using my Polar FT40.
I will be avidly applying 2Toms to prevent chaffing. Chaffing hurts!
I will be running in my Brooks Running Shoes.
I am at a complete loss is the smaller details… the FUN DETAILS…
Help me pick out my Race Outfit!
Do I wear capris and a running shirt? Or a running SKIRT and a tank top?
Do I wear something flashy and fun like a sparkly top or a tutu? Or a funky hat or socks?
Do I wear a hat or head band? Sunglasses or no sunglasses?
Help this EXCITED Running Mama Out!!
Yes, I will share photos (either on my facebook fan page or my instagram feed) of possible race outfits!! I would love your feedback!!
In general, less is more is a good adage for race attire – dress in layers so you can adapt to your changing body temperature and keep in mind that you’ll feel 20 degrees warmer than what it is outside.
I rely on this app a lot:
