Gear

It's that time of year in Chicago.  Cold!  It actually hasn't been too bad yet, with our first chance of accumulating any snow this coming Thursday.  However, if you wait for the perfect conditions to go run outside, you could be waiting forever.  A lot of running clothes are pricey, especially the clothes for cold weather.  I just recently bought a few pairs of running pants/tights.  One pair was from TJ Maxx (I have gotten a lot of my workout gear here) and one pair was from Target!!! The Target pair is pictured below.  I bought them in black and they also come in neon pink!  They keep you warm, are moisture wicking and stay up pretty well.  I only had to yank them up a few times during my 6 mile run. And they are only $24.99.  You can easily drop $50-$70 on pants like this at other sporting good stores.  My favorite thing to run or work out in is fitted capri pants, but during Chicago winters, unless you also throw on some leg warmers, that won't work.
