Whether I am training for a race or just out to enjoy the weather, running keeps me calm, cool and connected!
Running allows me to calm my mind, keep a cool head and stay connected to nature and the world much like yoga, which is another love of mine. I run because I love it and it keeps me healthy both mentally and physically. I practice yoga for the same reasons plus it is a great balance to my running. When I combine my two loves, running and yoga, I feel my best!!!
With Stayfree® I always feel protected during activity which helps me stay calm, cool and connected during that time of the month. I will admit that it is difficult to stay on track during that time of month because hormonally I am a mess and between the mood swings, cramps, and migraines I don’t want to get out of bed, let alone workout. Ironically I know if I do head outdoors for a run or practice yoga I will feel 100% better and that is where Stayfree helps me out.
The protection that Stayfree offers helps to get me out the door or on the yoga mat. Stayfree offers a variety of products to fill your needs including my favorite product their STAYFREE® Ultra Thin® Regular feminine pads with Wings because I feel completely protected and completely comfortable. I don’t always wear pads but when I do I wear Stayfree. These particular pads were inspired by athletic wear and feature flexible layers that move with your body plus moisture wicking technology which is perfect for any athlete.
Whether you already love Stayfree® or just want to try them out for the first time this is the month do it because they have a great offer going on right now:

I totally hate running. I have tried so many times to like it, and just don’t. My feet hurt, my knees, back, ankles. LOL
I will stick with my weight training, as that is what keeps me calm cool and connected.

Running is my sport too. I just need a good sweat sometimes! I’m glad to come across your blog. This is a great deal with the free yoga!

The yoga is awesome! I am still debating whehter or not to continue….
Totally agree with you, Toni! Running just sets my mind straight. And running at “that time” seems to make the not-so-great symptoms go away.

I am fortunate not to have many of the symptoms that women get during that time of the month but I do like the Stayfree products because I never have to worry when I run or workout.

Girl, running keeps me calm too! Some days get so crazy that I’m happy to have running as a stress-busting outlet.

As somebody who used to never be able to see myself as a runner, I often find running to be my escape from real life. I find that I’m often able to do my best thinking while running, especially when I’m out on a long run.

I wish I could connect my brain to a notepad because I always have the best thoughts while running but usually forget them by the time I am done!
Running keeps me cool, calm and collected too! 🙂 If it has been a few days… you might need to keep your distance. 🙂

Running/Working Out in general keeps me calm and collected. I get a little moody if I don’t exercise..it’s a huge stress reliever for me!

They are pretty great!
It takes intention to stay chill during “that time”! Regular exercise and taking my quiet time in the morning to read my Bible, pray, meditate and journal really helps me stay centered and focused on the main thing.

Running is my “thing”. Without it, I’m not a good wife, mother or really, human being. I need it to keep me calm and sane.

My feelings exactly.
I’m with you, running “centers” me! Not sure what I did before I discovered my love for running!

Me neither, oh wait, nothing and I was anxious all the time.
Running is a great outlet for me. I love running hard sprints/intervals on the treadmill when I’m feeling upset, angry, stressed, etc.
Yes sprints and intevals is a great release!
Running but even more so yoga. Time on the mat has become my go to for calm and connected.

When it comes to fitness I say to each their own! We all have to pick out things we enjoy doing otherwise exercising and staying fit would be a chore we’d dread having to do (been there and done that). I definitely need to get better when it comes to forcing myself to exercising during that time of the month!
