It's kind of ironic to be writing a post on running and having a slightly healthier lifestyle when all I've eaten today was pancakes and crisps, the only form of exercise being a punishingly busy walk through ikea, trying to find bed sheets for uni. Today was one of my rest days, which occur have often during the week and correlate to the moody horrible weather which means I can't go for a run in fear of slipping on the pavement. Despite being a lazy lump of bed and socks today I've managed to stick to a pretty good running routine, and while it took a punishingly long time I can actually feel and see the benefits, my legs have never been this strong and I can run a lot longer than 20 seconds without needing to stop for a breather!
All of these songs have featured on my running playlist for the last few sessions and they all have that great thumping deep rhythm that pushes you forward.
While the pavement and parks I run round aren't catwalks and really I'm not going out there with no makeup and unwashed hair to impress someone, I do like planning my running outfit, even if it is to pick out which pair of shorts or huge baggy t-shirt I'm going off in.

Shown here in this terrible polyvore is similar, but much more fancy, versions of my usual running attire, a baggy t shirt is a lot better at keeping the sweat away than a tight vest top, also you can show off whatever cool band shirts you own and love enough to sweat in! I like to wear my Vaccines tee or a plain white one to give that cool Freaks and Geeks gym session feel. A pair of short shorts are my favourite, I have a pair of bright red high waisted very 80's soccer mom-esque shorts that are baggy enough to not be booty shorts but still look cute. Running shoes are running shoes and as long as they don't break your ankle they're good to go, I would suggest a pair of socks, cute knee high socks being the best because no.1 they look very cute no.2 you don't have to worry about shaving your legs no.3 if you're embarrassed to be seen running round with red cheeks and a noticeable lack of breath knee socks give that casual 'oh I was just off to football/rugby/lacrosse/other sports practice, catch you later sweet cheeks' look about them.

Nadine from the film Little Furniture who is infinitely the more interesting sister and the reason I managed to watch the whole of Lena Dunham's self centered whining for however many minuets the film lasts. (I'm not exactly Dunham's biggest fan if you can guess)

a real Scottish classic that always makes me wish I was a Scottish teen in the 80s and then John Gorgon Sinclair would be a little more age appropriate.
