Why I Run

A lot of people ask me what sneakers I run in. Many people are actually shocked that I run in either Adidas or Nike. It kind of makes me laugh people think that a real runner needs to run in these big clunky high class running shoes. In the past I have ran Lunar glides by Nike. I prefer the older versions of the shoe because they give you much stability and have a hard firm of support. Once my favorite Lunar Glide 6 kicked the bricks, I then bought the Pegasus 32. I have logged many miles in those shoes as well and enjoyed them. Recently I picked up a pair of the Adidas Ultra Boost. These shoes are the 2.0. I have not ran in the newer version so I cannot compare. Something that I love about this shoe over all the shoes I ran in, is that the way it hugs my foot. I am very sensitive with a lot of shoes and am prone to get a lot of stress on the top of the foot. However, with these I do not. I really enjoy this shoe and I look forward to my runs in it. Another thing that I love about the Ultra Boost are the laces. I know, how can something like the laces make such an impact? Well they do. For example, my Nikes constantly would come undone during a run. As a runner, if you are, you can understand the frustration in having to tie your shoe when you are really crushing those strides.

Now for the good part. The reason why I run means more than just completing a race or crushing miles. The reason I run is because when my body gets moving, every piece of anger, every piece of sadness, and every amount of stress falls off of me. I run because it calms me, I run because it makes me feel amazing, I run because it is my time. My time for mind to race just like my feet. My time for me to forget every thing and focus on myself. How I can be a better person, a decision to make, and to reflect. if i can give you any words of advice or if this post has created something in you, something to do the thing or things you love and use it as your escape. Use what you love to help create you into something better, someone with a clear vision, someone who can define what they love and they use it in their life as encouragement to be better and do more.

Some of my favorite running accessories include:

Spandex

A bun (hair tie)

Good gear- Adidas, Lulu Lemon, or Nike

Powerbeats 3 Wireless

Apple Watch Series 2 (GPS location)

Ps. Make sure you stretch ;)
