My Top 5 Favorite Running Brands and Products – RunDisney Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2019

February 15, 2019 · In: Disney World, Fashion, Fitness

Hey y’all! In preparation for Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend being less than a week away, I thought I’d share with all of you some of my favorite running brands and products. I know I have been doing a lot of RunDisney content lately, so I apologize if you’re not interested in that! But I promise I’ll get back to some non-running blog posts next week 😉

1. SparkleSkirts

This is my go-to brand for running skirts. I only have two, but I love them so much and couldn’t survive a Princess Half Weekend without them. Not only are they super fun and come in every color and pattern imaginable, but they are so incredibly practical. They have a built in “running belt” by having a zipper in the front that has a HUGE pocket. It can fit my iPhone 6 Plus, a small pack of tissues, a snack, everything I need for my races. They also have built-in shorts that don’t ride up as you run. No wedgies here! Not to mention the shorts also have huge pockets on both sides if you can’t fit everything in the zip pocket. I also love that they offer inclusive sizing and go up to size 3XL. You can see their sizing chart HERE.

2. Brooks Running Shoes

I always recommend getting professionally fitted for a running shoe. Employees at your local running store can help analyze your running style and foot shape to help you decide what is best for you. However, I am a big fan of Brooks and know a lot of others who are too. So they’re a brand worth checking out!

3. RawThreads Athletics

My first time purchasing items from RawThreads was about a year and a half ago. I was apprehensive because their items are pricey. But after trying them, I am a believer! Their products are soft, made of bamboo, and so comfortable. Since they contain bamboo they dry quickly and don’t retain smell, which is perfect if you’re a sweaty person like me lol. They have something for everyone, men and women, Disney fans, etc.

4. FlipBelt

When I am not wearing my SparkleSkirt with the built in running belt, this is my go-to! It doesn’t ride up and is offered in a variety of sizes and colors. These have so much room in them (the whole thing is basically a giant pocket), so you’ll definitely be able to fit all of your necessities while running.

5. KT Tape

KT Tape is such a great tool to keep in your medicine cabinet as well as your bag during a race weekend. KT Tape can help with a wide variety of pains and injuries. I personally wear it for shin splints every time I run, even if I don’t have shin splints at the time. Their YouTube Channel is a great tool where you can learn to wrap for certain injuries and pains.

 

Thanks for reading this blog post y’all! I hope it helped you discover a new product or brand to try. Let me know down below what your favorite running brands and products are.

Thanks for reading!

xoxo

Jayme

Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshi Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshine weather on HHI - surrounded by family & friends🌊🤍 It was a great way to get some major R&R after these past months of treatment. 

We’re spending this week at our happy place - Disney - to close the chapter out on the summer before we head into fall🍂
The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
