Running

Today I ran 5 miles. I try to run at least a 5k everyday. My goal is to run 2 more 5k races this year while training for a 10k in 2012. While running I've picked up a few tips on what works and doesn't work. 


What works:

• a cotton towel to wipe off the sweat
• a headband " "
• music or TV in a gym is a big helper to quell the negative thoughts
• lightweight running shoes
• long sleeve light shirt so there is no chafing under the arms
• good socks
• lightweight shorts--boy shorts or wind pants
• water bottle--know how many ounces to keep track

What doesn't work:

• Anything cotton except for the towel
• crappy headphones--I have yet to find a good pair
• tennis socks are not the best but I still wear them with shorts to save from looking like an old man
