Running Essentials

I've never been much of a person to actually go to a gym and exercise. But we all know it's bad to just sit at home and stay sedimentary. This summer I made it my goal to actually get up and do something. I've found that running or walking has benefited my health so much and I couldn't imagine myself not doing it. Running has becoming part of my routine. I love going right before the sun comes up. If I neglect to go in the morning I always make myself go a little after sundown. The park by my house has a great track and there are always people there from many ages, in a way it is very encouraging. Before I go running I make sure to be hydrated and have a healthy snack. Even though there isn't much sun out I always make sure to stay protected from the sunning by using sunscreen on my body and face. When I go running I like to have upbeat songs on shuffle. I put my hair in a bun or ponytail and finish it off with a cap. Every ten or fifty minutes I make sure to take a water break. It's always important to stay hydrated. After running I like to be refreshed so I eat a lot of refreshing fruit like strawberries. I wipe my face with face wipes and dry it off with a towel. Excersing gives me such a great feeling and it really wakes you and let's you start the day fresh.
