Day Glo Running

Written by Ashley

I enjoy a run around the park, on a treadmil, or through the FInancial District to pick up what investment bankers are left, every so often.  But you know what I enjoy more?

My running shoes:

The Magnolia from KangaROOS is the perfect walking shoe for summer. Available in a variety of different bright colors and patterns, the Magnolia is lightweight with suede and nylon uppers with mesh all over to keep the air flowin… essential in the summer! The Magnolia also has the side zipper pocket that allows you to easily store a house or car key. www.zappos.com Price range $40-64 (depending on color/pattern)

I’ve been sporting these babies while running in Brooklyn, and the side zipper pocket is perfectly sized for slipping hipster telephone numbers into.

And what other things so I bring with me on my run?

To match my new ROOS, I sport my Gruen Sport watch Two Toned 9in strap- I’m on the very tightest hole- and it fits like a glove!  It has a nice big silver toned face, with visible lines for time, and looks way more pricey than it’s $34.99 price tag. This kicks ass, when I’m running, I don’t have to look down and in turn, bang into a telephone pole, because I can’t read my little watch to see how long I’ve been running. – available at Avon.com
