Training
Now that it’s officially fall, the old “swim suit body” as motivation really goes out the window (not that I was a fan of it before). So now what? Let’s drop the outward motivation and instead focus on what makes us feel good.
This month I shared 7 things that make me feel powerful on the adidas women’s training site. Here’s a sneak peek:
- Look the part –> wear clothes that are comfortable, functional, and make you feel good about yourself. Love this RainShine jacket for chilly or drizzly mornings.
- Strength train. –> what’s the best way to feel strong? BE strong.
- Prepare for anything. –> you never know what the weather will be like, so be ready for whatever comes your way.
- Eat right. –> Put good stuff in; feel good inside and out. Easy peasy.
- Hydrate. –> Drink up!
- Try new things. –> hot yoga? Cross-fit? Spin? Kickboxing? Reach out of your comfort zone, you’ll be amazed at the boost it gives you.

Exercise
So this morning it was a glorious 65 degrees {at the crack of dawn, otherwise known as “party time” to my toddler}, but afternoon brought the 85+ degree heat that’s more in tune with this hot, humid summer we’ve been having. I love cool weather, but it’s frustrating when it quickly turns from refreshing to hot, especially when you’re trying to cram in some outdoor exercise. It’s so easy to use the unpredictable weather as an excuse for letting your workouts slide, especially as we adjust to the chaos of back to school and other fall happenings.
This month on the Adidas women’s training site I’m sharing my tips for staying on track when the seasons change.
Dressing for any kind of weather is key: I’m a fan of shorts with long sleeves, especially a jacket you can take off mid-run. I’ve been digging the Powerluxe woven shorts and their futuristic camo-y print. {Hey, camo is in this season! 
}
The coordinating Powerluxe RainShine jacket is light yet protective. Obviously I love the hood and thumbholes.
I always forget how long I’ve been running in my current shoes, so I use the change in seasons as reminder to check my bank account and guess how many miles I’ve put on my shoes; I’m typically in need of a new pair by fall. I put a lot more miles on my shoes in the cooler weather, so started out with a fresh pair is crucial. I’m obsessed with these adidas Energy Boost shoes– they fit like a glove sock, and absorb a ton of impact, which is perfect for my injury-prone knee.
