New Running Shoes and Current Workout Jams

Hello fashionistas!
I have recently taken up running and my mom told me I had to get new shoes. She took me to a running store and I was fitted for a pair of running shoes! Very exciting stuff. I tried on about five different pairs. I thought that getting fit for shoes would be an awkward experience, but I had a really nice man who told me what my feet were doing when I was running. I ended up with shoes that gave my ankles more support because I have pronation. This means that my ankle rolls inward when I put my feet down. These are by the brand Asic. 



I took these bad boys for a spin today and ran 30 minutes straight (just over 2.6 miles). I'm really proud of myself because I never thought I would be a runner, but here I am just running away! I increased my pace throughout my run from a 5.2 to a 5.5. I ended the last 10 minutes at a 5.5 pace. I'm pleasantly surprised with myself! The shoes made my run a lot more comfortable. I cannot wait to keep running with them. 

I've recently begun listening to country music (UH WHO AM I? RUNNING AND COUNTRY MUSIC I DON'T EVEN KNOW) and I wanted to share a few country songs I really enjoy running to! 



I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes keeps me at a good speed and I love the catchy lyrics.



Flat On the Floor by Carrie Underwood is such a good song to workout to. Fast paced and powerful.


Best I Ever had by Gavin Degraw is a quick beat and keeps my feet moving.
I know this doesn't really count as country, but I still love this song.


Hope you guys have had a great weekend! I'm off to go meet a friend for coffee. 
Loads of love!

    These shoes will look cool with jeans or it can be tried with other outfits too.

    You would imagine such an idea would have the Zapatillas Running Baratas companies issuing legal writs in a mad panic, but instead they realized that most people were not actually going to run barefoot.
