I tried a new piece of running gear from Target this morning – A Neck Gaiter. It is $14.99. I don’t think the weather was cold enough for me to really appreciate it so I’m going to give an update when it gets a little colder. Even though it was sprinkling on me this morning it wasn’t that cold and I could have went without it. But, I know some day soon I will be thanking my lucky stars for my neck gaiter!
Marathon Training: I did 7 miles this morning. I was supposed to do 8, but ran out of time and energy. This 7 was slower than last week’s 7 miler by 2 minutes and some seconds.
I was hungry as soon as I walked in the door so I ate a small cup of cereal before getting in the shower. Then, it was real breakfast time. I made PB&J toast. I considered going without the jelly, but life is short and I wanted jelly 🙂
Light OJ on the side for some Vitamin C.
I have a lot of work ahead of me today! I will see ya later 🙂
Know the gaiter well. Grew up in Michigan (now in LA) and running in winter was gaiter mandatory.
You will love it.
That neck gaiter looks suspiciously similar to the “connected loop” scarf shown on Oprah recently…. way to be fit AND stylish 😉
I didn’t even know I was stylish! Yes!
I am a sucker for any kind of Chex Mix! I like to think it is healthier than other snack options like chips, candy, etc.
I just got one of those bands that goes around your head and keeps your ears warmed. It changed my life. I never realized how much the quality of my running life improved just rockin’ on of those bad boys. I can only imagine that the same is true for the neck gaiter.
I love: “It changed my life”
I agree 🙂
life IS too short to forget the jam!
Way to go for running in the rain. I couldn’t get myself to do it this morning.
I think I need a neck gaiter as a stocking stuffer this christmas
Good idea to wear a gaiter while running! I have a couple of gaiters that I have collected over the years for snowboarding but I have never thought to use one running. I will try that when it starts to get really cold.
I want to hear more about this contraption. What does it do? keep your neck warm?
