Conquer Old Man Winter

The temperatures have dropped here on Cape Cod and 2+ feet of snow has been dumped on us.  It’s official…Old Man Winter has brought it.  It’s a challenge for sure!  You have set your goals for the 2015 and winter is trying it’s best to get in your way!  I’m saying fight back…get out there on the roads (as long as they aren’t too icy) and stick to those goals!  However, make sure you are dressed right so that your gear is the last thing you have to worry about.
When winter bears down, I know that I have to suit up each time I head out for a run.  I have several important pieces that are a must to keep me warm and hitting my paces.  Through a partnership with Sports Authority, I was able to stock up on some great Asics gear to help me wage this war against winter!  I was so excited when our local Sports Authority came to Cape Cod and it has quickly became my go to for sporting gear!  They always have great sales so stocking up doesn’t have to break the bank!
You too can fight against Old Man Winter and win.  Here is what are my must haves, which I was able to easily find at our local Sports Authority!  Heading out the door for a run I make sure I have warm running tights (These Asics PR Tights are lined for extra warmth!), a base layer, another layer (This Asics PR Hoodie is awesome with thumb holes and a hood), a jacket (This Electro Jacket does a great job at blocking the howling Cape Cod wind and has a light up shoulder light for extra visibility), a hat (I just have to have a ponytail hat with all this hair.  This Asics hat is extra long fitting low on my ears!), and some kick ass shoes (The Women’s Gel-Kinsei 5 are new to me but I LOVE the colors and are very similar to my usual kicks!)!  
Having the right gear will keep you hitting the roads and making strides towards your goals!  No need to throw in the towel…put on your suit of armor and fight back against Old Man Winter and win!!

Monday Motivation

I've been pondering the phrase I chose for this year...thinking about what it truly means and looks like to better my best.  On my lunch runs lately I have been cruising through the first mile or so only to hit a WALL as the hills start rolling!  This past week I decided I was going to start working on my short race and truly better my best.  I decided to do a progressive run and by the time I got back to the school parking lot I was jumping and cheering!!!  8:34-8:17-8:14....BOOM!  I know that living in a way that stays with #BetterYourBest it is going to be a lot of decisions to push when I want to slack...to face the challenge instead of take the easy road...climb the hills instead of walking them...pushing PAST my limits!

How will YOU push past your limits this week?!
