1. Sunscreen
I know, it’s a strange favorite. I never leave the house without sunscreen on my face and neck (I can’t say the same for make-up, sorry Mom). I remember a dermatologist telling me years ago that the best anti-aging cream was sunscreen.
For everyday, I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream with SPF 15. I’ve been using this since I was 23 (many moons ago). I’ve tried others but always come back to this one. It’s inexpensive and doesn’t irritate my skin.
When I’m going to be outdoors for awhile (running, at the beach, etc.) I use Neutrogena Sport Face 70+. LOVE this stuff. It doesn’t sweat off into my eyes and doesn’t feel greasy.
2. Working from home
I’m fortunate to be able to work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. Of course, I love the zero commute and staying in my PJs (or running clothes) all day but I love the freedom it gives me with training. I generally save my longer short runs (or track workouts) for Tuesday and do my long runs on Friday. It’s especially good in the winter because I can run outside over lunch and save myself from the dreaded treadmill.
3. Mums
Mums just signify Fall. The front of my house is full of yellow mums. Here’s a peek at my deck…
Apparently they are tough to kill (I’m rough on plants) which makes them even better.
Do you have a favorite sunscreen that you wear when running? Do you work from home? Have a Friday Favorite to share?
