Baby it's [freaking] cold outside

It's a balmy 25 degrees here in Music City and I'm scheduled to run a brisk three miles today.

Let me tell you, I am pumped. Not.

I am a summer girl through and through. And I also don't particularly enjoy feeling like my lungs are going to explode while trying to run 100 ft. 

However, I have figured out a couple tricks that make 13.1 training not so bad. 

When I was at the Nike outlet with the little brother after Christmas I started browsing the running accessories section [aka things I could afford] and found something so wonderful I had to share. 

Say it with me now, Nike Therma-FIT Reversible Running Headband.

Now go buy one.

This purple gift from running heaven has saved my ears more than once this year AND [added bonus] keeps my earbuds perfectly in place. It's a win-win. Plus, it's so warm I left it on for a good 20 minutes after I got home. 

Nike wins again. 

Now about those three miles tonight...
