Here’s a simple tip to help you get organized for your running or exercise.   Keep a duffle bag packed with essential gear so when you leave the house it’s all together.  Here’s a sample of what I keep in my running bag and gym bag.

Running Bag

Ipod, headphones and charger in a makeup case, running sunglasses, extra socks, long sleeve tee, jacket, gloves, makeup bag with baby wipes, vaseline, BodyGlide, a Gu (or two), “feminine products”, aspirin, brush and a running hat

Gym Bag

Gym Id, magazines, hairbands, extra tee shirt, baseball hat

Having these bags ready means I can get dressed and grab a bag and be off.  No more searching at 5:30am for my gym or running necessities.

Get organized so you don’t have any excuses.

Now go run.
