running – The Sol Compass

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful day with your loved ones, remembering the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. It’s one of my favorite days of the year and I feel so blessed that I get to live in this great country.

Another day I feel so grateful for is Global Running Day, which is this Wednesday. Running is something that takes up a lot of real estate in my heart, which is apparent in how much I talk about it on a fashion blog. When everything in my life felt out of control, running gave me a place to feel safe. The discipline it demanded and the jurisdiction I had over my own two legs gave me the confidence to approach other aspects of my life. When all else fails, I know I’m only one workout away from a good mood.

Join me in embarking on a healthier and fitter life by pledging to run Wednesday for Global Running Day here! See you all on the road!! 😉

Running (or walking) in nature is one of my favorite things ever. Getting lost in the beauty of the world we live in and taking myself away from the chaos of life is often the only medicine I need to turn my mood around. It’s one of the reasons I always fall into a slump from January through March, when I’m not getting the chance to reconnect with nature and disconnect from the busy trap.

A safety feature of running in the woods for me is definitely to wear bright colors. One of my favorite trails happens to wind through hunting grounds, so we always have to make sure to dress bold and bright enough for hunters to see us. One of the cool parts about running in nature is it hasn’t been altered by man, but that also means having to take proper precautions to avoid injury. These running sneakers from New Balance are the perfect trail blazers to tackle any sort of natural terrain, and cushioned enough to keep me going as long as my mind needs to unwind and reset.
