It's official. I registered for the Chicago Half Marathon. I am a runner.
The good news about this is it means I get to buy real running clothes!! I'm on a serious hunt for shorts right now, as I only have one pair I like. I'm trying out a new pair of Nike shorts, but they feel a little bulky, so I also ordered the Oiselle Distance Short. Originally I ordered the Oiselle Roga, but these were just awful for me - I am a pear shape and the Roga short is cut pretty narrow through the leg. The Distance short is a little wider, so looking forward to trying them on a run.
I'm also in search of new sports bras. I've been using the C9 sports bra for Pilates - they are inexpensive and easy to obtain, both positives when you dislike shopping as much as I do. I ordered the Montiel Tear Drop bra and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. Montiel also has some adorable tops, so I bought one to try as well.
Now I need to research some new music and hydration solutions - I haven't had to worry much about either for short three mile runs. And just as important, I'm starting to look into fuel - pre, during and post long runs!
I'm hoping some of these new items will come in handy on our upcoming trip to Seattle. I've already started scouting running routes in the city!
