I'll admit it, when I got my BUFF® Tech Fleece headband I thought that there was not way that this headband would keep my head warm. I run outside all year round and have always opted to wear winter hats (think adorable pom-poms and varies craft breweries written across the front). But I was sure wrong. Between September and November the temperature steadily dropped and whether it was a little chilly, or snowy my head was kept warm (and sweaty smell free). Not only that, but as a gal with a larger forehead, I really liked the width of the headband. It also blocks UV rays so it keeps my scalp protected! The headband also keeps my hair controlled so I can still feel stylish if I need to run errands pre or post run.

I was also concerned about how to wear my headphones with the headband, but they fit perfectly under the headband. The combination of headphones, headband and sunglasses can be a bit cumbersome, but nothing too distracting. Just tuck everything under the headband and be on your way! Here's the other thing. Knit caps tend to hold moisture and not wick it away, which can also lend to them smelling a bit funky after a while. The Buff Tech Fleece headband wicks perspiration and moisture away so I could wear it for a while before washing it (which is key when you run every day!). 

Long story short, I love my BUFF® Tech Fleece headband and look forward to wearing it all winter long! Want to save 15% on your future BUFF® order? Visit this website: buffusa.com/BibRave and submit your e-mail and a special code will be mailed to you to save 15%.

Product Review: OOFOS Women’s OOahh Sport Slide

Disclaimer: I received a pair of OOFOS Women’s OOahh Sport Slides to review as part of being a BibRave Pro . Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews! I was working in Washington, DC in 2013 when I learned that a family member was diagnosed with cancer. I moved home to help my family and saw first hand how difficult the treatments are for patients, and how heartbreaking cancer is for family and loved ones. For a time, I even upended my career to work for a non-profit with a mission to find cures for cancer. Cancer made me feel powerless, and I'm not a doctor so I did whatever I could to exert whatever power I had.  Running helped. When I raced I raised money to fund cancer research. I wore shirts that promoted organizations that supported my cause and every step I took made me feel like I had regained some of the power that diagnosis took away.  When I found out that OOFOS donates 3% to Dana

Starting Line

I started running in 2011. The decision to start couch to 5k happened after I heard the words that every woman dreads hearing from their doctor: obese. I knew I was heavier than I wanted to be, but surely I wasn't clinically overweight. The scaled don't lie. At 5'3" I was clocking in at 170 lbs. Me in 2011 at my heaviest  I ran exclusively on treadmills when I started because I was so ashamed of being a beginner, not looking like a runner and risking people seeing me. When you're heavier, it's amazing how often you wish you weren't so visible, and didn't take up so much space. I even went to the office gym during off peak hours to avoid being in the same room with other athletes. However, running inside presented another problem. It gets really hot, even in capris. My lack of a thigh gap has always - even today - made shorts impossible and uncomfortable for me. That's when I found it. Running skirts. I looked forward to getting them because
