Hitting the pavement

So I have been literally "hitting the pavement" again.  As in, lacing up my running shoes and getting back in the workout zone.  It's February, which means I have about 3 months till full on swimsuit season!  Besides the whole goal of tightening up, I also feel SOOO much better all around when I am doing a good 4 days/week workout routine. I sleep better, eat better, feel great...seriously, working out and a good nights sleep is the best medicine!

So, I am definelty NOT a gym person...I hate the gym. I have to workout outside, in the fresh air, with an open road ahead of me.   Anyhoo, even though I go running alone, I still like to wear cute workout clothes.   I was browsing online for some new gear earlier today, and I stumbled upon these at Nordstrom.  Who says you can't look great while getting a sweat on?! Bring it!

I love wearing shorts when I run, and these are perfect with the wide waist band.

Loving both of these!  Perfect for those early morning or late night runs with the long sleeves.

Great sweats.

I love that this is mesh.  Breatheable and light.

Again, great running shorts.

My favorite go to running tank. I love wearing running tanks that have a built in sports bra!
