So I ran in a 5k today and I ran fast. I’m not tooting my own horn (okay maybe a little) but I even placed!  And I’m convinced it was all because of my fabulous running outfit.

I ran like the wind in my gun-metal gray Lululemon capris (with bows on the bottom) and sexy black Lululemon top (with built-in bra and skin bearing back). My flashy black and flourescent green Nikes could be seen for miles. My gold mirrored Mykita sunglasses reflected anyone’s image if they looked at me. Intimidation!

Yes, I did just use the words sexy and flashy to describe my running gear.  Why not feel confident, sexy and flashy as you huff and puff across the finish line?  Who says you have to wear crappy workout wear and look like a schlep? If you look like a schlep won’t you schlep your attitude across that finish line?  Go ahead and try a little harder when deciding on what to wear to the gym or on the treadmill.  I can assure you that you’ll have burned more calories looking and feeling good rather than in those old school grey sweatpants and oversized man’s t-shirt. I’ll bet you a donut.

They say you are what you eat.  I’m convinced you are what you wear….
