What’s In Your Bag?

Your running bag, that is!

I ran 10 miles with a friend on Saturday and as I was preparing for my run, I came to a realization about my running bag…



Its time has come to an end.

This bag has been with me from the very beginning – I bought it in 2009 when I first started my running journey. It’s traveled to multiple races and events and it’s carried all of my junk essential race items every step of the way!

R.I.P. Pink GoRun bag.

I organized my closet this weekend and stumbled across this little gem…



I won this bag from a race a few years back and forgot about it. Hello new running bag! :0)

So, what’s in that huge pile of stuff?

In no particular order:



Music

• iPhone case (that fits my Otterbox! Yay!)
• YurBuds
• iPod with strap (not used as much anymore now that I have one for my iPhone)
• Ear buds my husband won from the Brooks Cavalcade at a Rock N Roll Expo

Sunglasses

• Ryer’s (from a giveaway I won a few years back)
• Oakley’s (my husband bought them for me for my birthday the year I began running)
  

Fuel

• GU – I prefer Gels over Chomps but that’s just my liking
• Luna Bar – sample size from an Expo
• Clif Bar – sample size from an Expo
• Lara Bar – I bought a box of mini’s from Target (did you know those were available? I didn’t!) and I like to keep a few on hand

Tracking and Carrying

• Garmin Forerunner 210
• SpiBelt
• iPhone charger

Hair and Body

• Ponchos for rain emergencies
• Hand Warmers for cold races
• Hair bands/bobby pins
• Sweaty Bands (the blue Sweaty Band is Goofy specific from the WDW Expo and the Fleur de Lis Mickey/Minnie was made by a friend of mine!)

Freshen Up

• Tissues for a runny nose
• Towel from my running group
• Gum
• Hand Sanitizer
• Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad for warm days (if you’ve never tried one of these, you need to…it absorbs water and stays cool for a long time!)

Safety

• Road ID Band
• Inspirational arm bands – one from Team 413 and the other from Claim Your Journey
• Night reflector
• Supernova light
• GoRun blinking light
• Safety Pins

Knee Essentials (If I could fit my foam roller in my bag, I would!)

• Knee sleeve (looking to rid of this in the near future) :0)
• Knee brace
• Atomic Balm (Seriously AMAZING stuff!)

Toiletries

• Body Glide x 2
• Deodorant
• Sunology – all natural sunblock samples from the Rock N Roll NOLA Expo
• H2O lotion from Disney Resorts
• Chapstick

(I left off two things from this list: Essential woman items – you know what I’m talking about – and Tylenol because I used the rest of it at Rock N Roll NOLA.)



There you have it! Now tell me, what’s in YOUR running bag? Did I leave anything out that you carry from race to race?

A Day In My Life

What a day I had yesterday! Seems as if every single moment after lunch was jam packed with meetings and other fun things!



Instead of telling you about my day, I decided to show you! I hope you enjoy this short vlog of a day in my life! :0)

A Day In My Life :0)

Our production is definitely a work in progress. It’s coming along even though it’s a very slow process, I know our production nights are going to be great!



We are SO blessed with lots of talent at our church…one of our cast mates created this entire set and did an amazing job! Our theme is set around a diner, so our whole set has a very diner-ish feel! I’m really looking forward to the finished product!

Thanks for following along with my day! Believe it or not, I was on time for everything except production rehearsal…I was about 5 minutes late to that. Overall, yesterday was not as bad as I thought it would be…I got everything accomplished on my list! Yay!

Hope you enjoyed the vlog! :0)

How do you handle busy days? Do you ever have a day that’s full of meetings?
