(SIZE SMALL – ALSO LOVE  FOR COLDER TEMPERATURES) ||  (SIZE SMALL – COLOR: VOLT) ||   (SIZE 8 – LOVE THE COLOR SELECTION!) Cody: COLOR-BLOCK HOODIE (40% OFF) || GREY DRI-FIT TEE || BLACK RUNNING SHORTS ||  Cody and I have set a goal to start making healthier choices this year – not just staying active but also drinking more water and replacing my In-N-Out fries and McDonald’s vices with cleaner eating habits. I have had a lot of readers ask about my diet and workout routines so as Cody and I stick to smarter choices, keep an eye out for healthy eating recipes, fitness activities, etc. But first things first – today I want to talk workout wardrobe. Believe it or not, I used to be the biggest tomboy. Truth be told, when I was younger I was set on being the first girl quarterback in the NFL. (I can still throw a pretty good spiral too – watch out Russell Wilson! 😉 From Kindergarten through 8th grade I basically lived in Nike and Reebok. Once high school hit my girly side came out, but I have never gotten over my love for activewear, especially Nike.

I am sure my boyish style back then was anything but inspiring (I really need to find a picture so we can share a laugh), but athletic clothes have become so fashionable since then. There are so many styles, cuts, and color variations available that you have just as much selection shopping for active wear as with anything else. Personally I love a little color when it comes to my fitness attire. I am obsessed with these leggings. I just ordered the pink pair (color: hyper punch) too! They are so soft it’s like having pajamas on. I’m also loving this bright pair. One tip I’ve found in mixing brights and patterns is choosing one print as your base. If I’m wearing a printed bottom I go for a solid top (or vice versa). So for today’s look I went with a striped zip up and unified it with solid leggings. Pay attention to the accents already in your pieces and tie those colors in other places (i.e the neon yellow nike check in the jacket – I repeated the color in my sports bra and pants). T

At the Running Event, a conference put on by Formula4 Media of Great Neck, N.Y. last week, manufacturers who want to stock your local running store for the year to come showed off what they had to offer. Some products were tried and true, like shoes and apparel, with accouterments from massage rollers to headlamps muscling for attention. From the trade show floor, here are four trends to expect in 2016.The "wear it to the coffee shop after you run and appear to have some sense of style" trend hasn't died just yet. Retailers across the conference were showing apres-run options for both men and women. At the same time that manufacturers showed off luxury hoodies and tapered leg sweatpants, though, analysts at Cowen & Co. reported in a post Black Friday report that activewear for women, which has driven the trend, may be at its peak. My athleisure is either a sweatshirt I bought in Alaska or a high school soccer hoodie. We may return to that - but not quite yet.Ways to run with your phone infused both apparel and accessories, from New Balance running tights with open pockets on the thigh where you can slide your smartphone to companies like Roo Sport, Spi-Belt and Amphipod, Inc., showing things you can strap on to stay mobile through your run.

Makers of watches to track your run were present too, with one notable exception: the Apple Watch. During the entire conference, I only saw one. A hinderance to Apple pushing into the running market: the watch doesn't have an internal GPS. Until it does, don't expect it to push out Garmin anytime soon.Both Adidas and HOKA One One showed trail running shoe options that came up past the ankle. The new Adidas Riot will include ankle support in both new men's and women's options. HOKA One One's Tor Ultra Hi WP is being marketed as working boh for running and trekking. Though the shoe was not at the show, Nike also introduced the ACG Flyknit Lupinek SFB, a sneakerboot designed for hiking but with the comfort of a sneaker, in November.The neon and bright colored running shoe trend that's been dominated running shoes since 2012 is winding down - finally. Grays and whites are returning. No longer will bright be your only option nor, if you're a woman, will you be forced into choosing between wearing ultra feminine color combinations or buying men's shoes.

Even women's running tights designed for fall 2017 are moving away from the bright patterns and colors of the last two years. Instead, most manufacturers were showing blacks, blues, dark reds and grays. My first pair of running shoes, which I bought in 2006, were white with hints of red. The next version of the women's Adidas Boost Tempo will be white with hints of blue and red. Have a question for the On The Run panel? Ask it here or email us.
