Get Outside and Run!

 What are the odds that today's weather climate is wanting to make us stay inside all day? Maybe some of us want to skip class because walking against the wind from building to building can be a bit sacrificing. Although a better way to enjoy being outside, with the weather being bipolar as it is predicted for this current week, would be to GO RUN!
 "Tis the season for a good jog!" Especially in this climate today. Once you get going, there is no stopping. It gets better and better if you don't stop. With the body generating heat while running is a great feeling with weather like this. Perhaps, it would be a better experience with the right running gear.  For starters, this is what I would suggest:

• Wear running shorts (Maybe base-layers, personal choice.)
• Sweat wick short/long-sleeve shirt
• Light wind-resistant jacket
• Headband/Ear-warmers/Beanie (Depending on tolerable wind MPH.)
• Running gloves (optional.)
• Light running shoe (Road or Trail Shoe. Depends on location.)
• Water (Various portable sources.)

Go be somebody and definitely benefit your personal health by getting outside and going for a good run around your local neighborhoods!

Running In Winter Weather

Although our winter season is almost coming to an end, running throughout this cold season was amazing! Besides the fact of the chilly climate, running in the cold makes me feel somewhat better than I would be running in the dry Oklahoma heat. 

For next year, please be sure to prepare yourself for dreadful cold fronts and blizzard-like climates because it WILL be coming for us. View this link and you will be ready for Winter weather running.

So, there is no excuse to NOT have the attitude and energy for a jog around the block next winter because you will be ready for it.
