Hello! How’s it going ? Are you planning on going for a run in your sports bra to celebrate the first National Sports Bra Day? Are you ready to chime in on all the hot sauces??
1. Sports Bra Squad
Have you heard about the #SportsBraSquad movement?! I’m excited about the concept and wanted to share. I spotted Kelly Roberts on the cover of Women’s Running this month with the Sports Bra Squad hashtag to help spread the word!
The first National Sports Bra Squad Day is June 24th!
It’s a day that encourages everyone to ditch their sports bras shirts and more importantly – ditch their insecurities, wear a sports bra and go run! Studies show that about 70% of women are not happy with their bodies. As runners we can focus on what our body does, how strong it is, how many miles it carries us… instead of how it looks.
National Sports Bra Squad Day is a day to ditch any negative thoughts on your body. See yourself as strong, beautiful, happy, fast, runner-y, athletic, etc – and celebrate you. There are group runs all around the country. You can also run in a sports bra for your usual run and update social media to connect with others.
Check out the National Sports Bra Squad Day page here for more information. You can join a group run to celebrate this girl powered day. You don’t have to run in ‘only a sports bra’ to participate or support the movement. Do what is comfortable for YOU.
Use #SportsBraSquad to update Instagram / Twitter and Facebook to connect with fellow sports bra squad members.
2. Taco ice cream.
Yes. Tacos that are sweet and happy are coming to a A local ice cream shop, Sweet Cup, makes sweet waffle taco shells filled with ice cream on Tuesdays.
(from the Sweet Cup FB page)
3. Running Buddy Tank
I posted this on RER’s Instagram and so many of you loved it!
(You can get one version of the tank here.)
4. All the hot sauce options!!
I love the comments on Insta when I asked with you would pick:
ketchup (not a hot sauce but one of my options) / Tapatio / Sriracha / Cholula
5. Chopped veggies (that don’t cost a ton)
Pre-chopped veggies – especially onions are the best! I found a fajita mix with fresh onions and bell peppers at the 99 cent store. Boom!
6. Meal delivery services.
Since working with Blue Apron and recently trying Hello Fresh I’ve come to realize it’s so easy and you’re guaranteed a great meal. I dig it. I’ve been cooking these up for friends and family and always get great feedback.
7. Watermelon.
Watermelon. Watermelon. Watermelon. I love it. Always and forever.
8. These stainless steel tumblers from Costco.
They are super big and keep drinks cold. I love it.
But… I used one this morning to drink iced coffee. Then, I used the other one to drink Spark this afternoon while making dinner.
Well, somehow I grabbed the iced coffee one from earlier and took a huge drink of room temperature watered down coffee. Gross! That was a surprise when I was expecting super cold Fruit Punch Park.
Also – Advo just came out with two new protein powder flavors – chocolate chip cookie dough and salted caramel. I haven’t tried these yet so I have to check them out for myself asap.
I wear sports bras that aren’t all cute and chic if you know but i like to run with sport bra.
Amazing ha ha ha
I run in just a sports bra most of the time April-Sept because it is flippin’ hot and humid in Tennessee. I use 50 spf sunscreen (smells amazing so I don’t mind putting it on) and I have a sweet sports bra tan that lasts until November! I don’t always like photos of myself in just a sports bra (I have a flat stomach) but I always notice the little things……….”do my shoulders look too manly”…….”is that pudge under my arm noticeable”……..etc. We do that as women, I think it’s just part of our nature. And while I may not like all the photos that make me seem stockier than I feel, I love my strong runner’s body, so I will continue to run in my sports bra. Plus, feels pretty good to pass a tough looking guy in a race while wearing a running skirt and bra!
I’ve never run in just a sports bra. I feel like I’d need a special bra to do that. I have a 5K race planned for Saturday, so it’s a possibility, but I’ll need a WHOLE LOT of courage to actually do it.
I don’t like hot sauce at all, so it’s ketchup all the way for me.
The ice cream trucks that drive around here sell Choco Taco’s. They are awesome. Less colorful than the ones you pictured, but delicious none the less.
Amazing Keep it up
Have you had Aardvark hot sauce? Simply the BEST!
Unrelated to your questions but how do you pick great watermelons?? Yours always look perfect!!
It’s my favorite! I randomly help people at the store 🙂
Pick one that is heavy for it’s size, has a slight ‘belly’ or lighter section and is fairly evenly shaped/not blemished or bruised.
I don’t typically like wearing just a sports bra because of sunburn and, as someone else mentioned, nothing to wipe my sweat on. But I really dig the idea of encouraging women to bare their midriffs and normalizing all body types.
I don’t think I could ever run in just a sports bra. Let’s just say my mid-section is not my best asset and my boobs are DDs which means I wear functional looking sports bras that aren’t all cute and racerback chic if ya know what i mean. 🙂
I’d go with ice cream tacos!
You are most definitely strong and beautiful, even with a ‘functional’ sports bra. But if it’s not your thing, that’s cool too.
I am 100% planning on getting ice cream tacos!
I am definitely planning on joining the #sportsbrasquad on Saturday! I will be running in TX while visiting my bff so it’ll be HOT 😉 I have run in just a sports bra before. It’s kind of a weird deal because I live about a mile from where I teach high school so I typically see kids I know while running but honestly if it’s get hot enough I’m all in!
I’ve done the sports bra only a few times but only when I was so hot.
As for hot sauce…. Have you ever tried cholulas chipotle?!?!? Swoon!
I don’t understand girls who run in just their sports bra. If you’re not wearing a shirt where do you wipe your sweaty face?!?!?!
More power to those not dripping in sweat after 1 mile
No I have not just ran in a bra. At some point I would like to though. I’ve just been to chicken. Also the chipotle cholula us where it’s at.
National sports bra day? I wish that was a thing in Hong Kong, haha! Love the idea!
