My family (except for my hub and Mom) isn’t very supportive about my running, they just don’t care about it, always busy with themselves. <br /><br />I use a hat when it rains of when there’s a lot of sun during the day, otherwise I use a bondi band.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-6588868283269905732011-08-16T04:50:13.206-04:002011-08-16T04:50:13.206-04:00Nice post!

I make do with the stopwatch on my iPhone.<br /><br />NOT my shoes. I mean, I definitely need shoes to run, but I'm quite convinced the ones I wear on the roads aren't the right ones for me. <br /><br />3. Good sports bra. <br /><br />4. Friends to run with (not essential, but a big plus)<br /><br />5. New challenges to inspire me<br /><br />6. Blog friends to listen to me ramble.<br /><br />7. Health<br /><br />8. Braids in my hair...it's long enough that it becomes a gigantic tumbleweed if it's in a ponytail<br /><br />9. Shorts that don't ride up<br /><br />10. Hmmm...to be determined<br /><br />Your comment today made me laugh. It's not that hard, just time consuming finding the right pictures. Even so, I laughed the whole time I was writing it. :)Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-75098564755502522802011-08-15T21:48:13.613-04:002011-08-15T21:48:13.613-04:00I''m in total agreement with the following...I''m in total agreement with the following exceptions:<br /><br />1, but only halfway because the sentiment seems to be that if it isn't broke don't fix it.
