For the longest time, I just thought I wasn't cut out for running. Dancing? Yes. Swimming? Yes. Walking? Yes. But running...? Not for me.
Now, however, I go running several times a week and I enjoy participating in local 5Ks in my town.
Much of that change was mental...deciding that I, Stephanie Sheaffer, could in fact be a runner. After I had my first baby, I just decided that running was the cheapest, easiest, most convenient, and most effective way for me to get fit...so I did it.
One thing that helped me immensely in my journey was when I discovered REAL sports bras. For the longest time, I wore those flimsy Target ones that stretch over your head...sometimes double-layering them. Those may work for some women, but if you're a C-cup or larger, you probably need more support. One of the reasons that I didn't enjoy running as a teen and young adult was that it was so...uncomfortable.
Then, I discovered Fabulous Athletic Bra...and these bras are truly FABULOUS. They hold you in without being too tight and give you all of the support you need. The Ultra is my very favorite sports bra. It's a little hard to get it on, but - once you do - you'll feel snug, secure, and supported.
Available in Nude and Black, the bra retails for $79 and is available online.
