The Nike Tempo Track Shorts are my faaaavorite running shorts of all time. Not only do they come in cute colors (anything from orange and green to varying shades of pink), but they fit well and are comfortable, allowing for optimum performance.

My biggest pet peeve with running shorts is that when you lay down to stretch, the shorts gape open and your underwear is completely exposed. But the Tempo Track Short has built in underwear so you don’t need to worry about flashing that hottie at the gym or park. Plus, the shorts come in 12 colors and are only $28.

Here are some product features, from Nike.com:

Flattering lines and low-rise design

Dri-FIT microfiber fabric wicks away sweat

FABRIC: Body:100% polyester taffeta. Inset: Dri-FIT 100% polyester knit mesh. Liner: Dri-FIT 100% polyester crepe. Imported.

I’m definitely planning to invest in a few pairs this summer!

I’m in desperate need of a new pair of running shoes! I’ve been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for about two years and absolutely LOVE the shoe. Here’s the gorgeous Brooks Adrenaline 8, which I can’t wait to get my hands on:

What I love about the Adrenaline is that as soon as I started running in this shoe, I got my knee problems under control. And what does that mean? I can run faster and longer, without risk of injury. I did find that I went through the shoe pretty fast, about every 3 months when I was running 25 miles per week. I can always tell when it’s time for a new pair, because my knees start acting up.

I usually get the Adrenaline from Sports Chalet or Dicks Sporting Goods, but I believe you can find them at almost any sports or running store. You can also order them online.

Here’s the download on the Adrenaline, from Brooks.com:

Rejoice! Runner’s World gave the new Adrenaline™ GTS 8 the “Best Buy” award for Stability shoes in its Spring Shoe Guide 2008.

Many a runner relies on this trusted road warrior. The shoe is loved for its tried-and-true fit and feel, sought after for its signature smoothness from heel to toe, and depended upon for the graceful, graduated support of its PDRB®. The Adrenaline™ GTS 8 maintains all of the above while enhancing the ride with the long-lasting cushioning and resiliency of MoGo.
