Maury's marathon must haves
My SIL in law, Maury is back on L&L! Maury just completed her 13th full marathon in D.C last weekend and is headed to NYC for #14 this week! She is an amazing runner that inspires me to try harder and push myself to the fullest.
Here is Maury’s list of running must haves!

1. Whether they're playing an audiobook, Pandora, iTunes radio, or a motivating playlist, my headphones are in my ears a lot. These are my favorite. Hands down.
2. The right socks are so important. This pair hugs your feet, maintains their shape, and minimizes blistering. I discovered these years ago and haven't looked back.
3. Every athlete should have a good luck charm! This one is perfect.
4. I never liked the idea of safety pinning my race number on my running clothes This belt solved that problem. It also holds gels and my phone.
5. These sunglasses are perfection! Not only do they protect my sensitive eyes from the sun, but they are extremely lightweight, the nose bridge is rubber and ventilated so it stays put and doesn't fog. And the best thing about them is that they don't look like your typical sport sunglasses. Priorities ladies!
6. This small, lightweight running watch does it all while still keeping things simple. Lots of color options too.
7. I think every runner should find a shoe that works for them and go with it. For me, it's Nike Free's. I've worn them for 8 marathons so far. This is the pair I'm currently running in.
8. My favorite sports bra. Comfy, supportive, washes well, and looks good.
9. I first got started running when my boys were just babies. I would put them in the double jogging stroller every morning with snacks and drinks and we'd all enjoy the fresh air. I've had this particular jogging stroller in the double AND single version for years and I'm still in love.
10. Every runner should be fueling during runs that are longer than 45-60 minutes. I've found what works for me and you should find what works for you. I often say that if there's an endless supply of Gu Roctane, I could run around the planet at least twice. Blueberry Pomegranate is my favorite flavor.
