Run, Run, Run!

I have never been the strongest jogger in the world; I'll admit that.

I am a fast sprinter, but my stamina does not allow me to do such things more like once every couple of years, so when I made the decision to get fitter, jogging was definitely one thing I wanted to work on.

My boyfriend is trying to get fitter as well, and having someone with me to motivate me is really helping. We've decided that Monday is 'Run-Day', so we head out just before dinner and go for a short, but - for us - demanding jog around his neighbourhood.

I thought I'd use this blog post to show you what kind of environment I have been running in, and what I wear while I run and do my other exercises.

If you guys like these fitness inspired posts, whether they motivate you to keep fit or if you just like seeing how I'm going, leave me a comment on this post and I'll be sure to do more for Arms, Legs, Abs and Cardio. 

The outfit I wear when exercising is really comfortable, really cheap and really good quality.

I wear a sports bra, running singlet, gym shorts and gym shoes.

I don't have any pictures of the sports bra or the shoes as my camera ran out of memory and then froze (ugggh!) but they are both from K-Mart. K-Mart do sports bras for $8 in lots of different colours and they are so comfy, and my shoes were $22 and have elastic instead of laces, and they are so light and easy to jog in!

My singlet I also got from K-Mart for around $10, and it's super simple, stretchy but not tight and comes in a huge range of colours and styles.

My gym shorts are my favourite part of exercising, and I bought them for $20 at Cotton On Body. Cotton On Body is AMAZING for gym, sport and exercise gear so DEFINITELY check them out ladies! 

Mine are black with leopard-print panels on the sides, and they are super cute and lightweight.

They are quite loose fitting, however, they come with a opaque section of cloth on the inside that fits like underwear so your knickers don't show on leg day ;) Such a good feature, and it's really, really comfy.

Excuse the boyfriend's sexy legs. ^^

My boyfriend lives around some really nice houses and scenery, and obviously because I was running I couldn't capture all of it, but we run down from his house through a little pathway surrounded by trees, and get to a country club/golf course type area which is where we take a break before running back home - uphill (yikes!)

I had to include the sign because I thought about how funny it was they have to warn people to not get hit with golf balls.

And of course, what fitness post would be complete without a post-run selfie!

That's it for this post guys!

Thanks so much for checking it out, and let me know in the comments if you want me to do more fitness type posts as I'm really enjoying keeping fit!

I'm going to go make a healthy, massive dinner because running really makes me hungry!

Love Love,
