Aside from tennis I was never a runner I just never had the motivation to push myself. I would always say I was going to pick it up but every time I tried the pain would get to me and I would quit.
Since making this move I've been running almost every morning. This city although not huge is a great place to run. It's nice to be able to walk out my front door and practically be right down town. There is a very active morning crowd of runners and bikers here which makes for great motivation.
Since I'm not a runner by nature I started out my mornings with a half mile walk which turned into a mile run/jog over the course of a week. I hope to increase the distance as I get more comfortable running longer distances without tiring myself out too quickly.
Now me being me (A shopaholic and fashionista) I usually can't resist spending a lot of money on clothes. This time however I just can't justify doing so because simply put, I'm trying to control my spending habits. That said there are two stores Marshalls and Runners Alley that have become my favorites for stylish athletic wear for running, climbing and going to the gym.
Since the move I'm always wearing running shorts in the morning when I walk to get coffee at one of my favorite cafes a few blocks away. I have a somewhat small collection of running shorts in various colors and fits which I intend to grow but of what I have I like my Head running shorts the most because their more comfortable and have a more feminine fit.
Today I happened to be in the Portsmouth area which means I was close to Runners Alley. I couldn't help myself to going in and perusing what they had. I ended up walking out with two pairs of running shorts and an athletic top.
Do any of you run?
