It’s Friday night and I’m sitting at home enjoying a glass of wine and a bowl of cereal. You can’t get much classier than that, can you?
Unfortunately, while Bo and I have lots to toast to tonight, he is unfortunately still at the office. Luckily for me, that means I have time to spend sharing with you guys the things I’m loving right now!
Today’s Friday Favorites will revolve around all the wonderful running things I’m enjoying these days!
Running Tank
I’ve had a hard time historically, finding a workout tank that will move with me from running to yoga without leaving my belly exposed or falling around my head during downward dog. Luckily, Lululemon has come to the rescue with a wonderful tank that not only breathes, but also stays in place. I am absolutely loving my inner strength tank which I have in 2 different colors!
Best Place for Running or Workout Playlists
I love finding new workout songs as I believe the make even the most boring of treadmill runs fly! While Caitlin and Jes normally feaure some great playlists on their blog, I just discovered another great website which features songs and playlists to match your workouts! Running Playlist uploads a new playlist at least once a week which also lets you know the average BPM it matches. They have playlists featuring The Doors, Glee, and even a direct from Texas country playlist! I love that they feature a sidebar showing all the different playlist categories offered. I found a few new songs on the site this week alone, including a few country favorites. In addition, since many people have asked, below is my most recent playlist!
Best Post Run Stretch Session
Unfortunately for my muscles, I rarely spend enough time stretching before or after my runs, whether long or short. I’ve tried to focus on yoga more during this training cycle, in hopes that my legs and body will thank me. Thus far, it is working wonderfully! I’ve found these online yoga programs very helpful since they are short, focused, and accessible almost anywhere! Make it your goal to fit at least one quality yoga session into your week and at least a 10 minute stretching and rolling session into your post long run routine.
What are your favorite running
I love that lulu top. It’s one of the few that keeps my torso covered during a run!
Thanks for sharing your playlist and other playlist resources! I’ve been sharing with others & looking for newinspriration myself. Looks like we have a similar taste in running music.
thanks for posting such a great review of my site. Things like this make all the hard work I put into it worth it!
That’s such a great tank! I have been searching for one just like it. So many of them are so short, and I have a long torso, so it’s been a real effort to find one I like. Thanks for the great find!
