One of my favorite new sites for shopping is OpenSky, which I love perusing mainly for fitness gear and other healthy living products that pique my attention and take a hit to my wallet. I recently came across a running belt for a reasonable price....but does that mean I now have to take up running?
Well, before I pledge myself to any marathons, let me first start off and say that this little SPIbelt is a very nifty product. It's like a mini version of a fanny pack, minus the tackiness and clunky appearance. It allows you to carry all your essentials while out for a run: cellphone, keys, ID, extra cash...whatever tickles your fancy.
I originally bought it becuase I was tired of carrying my ginormous purse with me to my lakefront and neighborhood walks. Believe me, nothing screams "mug me" in the city of Chicago like carrying around a big ol' purse--especially in certain areas. I thought one of these belts would consolidate my necessities and make my overall walking experience much easier.
While I won't be running the entire 18 mile lakefront trail anytime soon, I suppose as the weather starts cooling down in the coming weeks, I'll start off with some power walking. Maybe then it will turn into a brisk jog. If it turns into a full out run...well....let's not think too far ahead of ourselves, Baby steps, people, baby steps.
In the meantime, let's all enjoy the final days of summer, shall we. Cheers!
