  • You can get some pretty great headlamps that help with light, around $75 for something with decent quality, battery and bright enough. I typically get most of my running in while the kids are asleep which means very early or late runs. I’m lucky enough to live in a place with well lit running paths all night though so I haven’t had much experience with unlit roads. I do trail running with a headlamp sometimes though which works well enough.

    For the sun, I’d highly recommend covering up vs sunscreen. A long sleeve lightweight shirt + a bucket hat would go a long way, or those weird running sleeves that people wear.

    I don’t have an issue with bleeding nipples myself, but I’ve heard people swear by products like nut butter or body glide. I just use normal Vaseline when I’m having chafing and it does the trick.





  • Kindles suck thanks to Amazon lock in, but I pirate all my books and use Calibre to convert/manage my library, and can easily use email to send books to my device. The main reason I stick with this one (paper white) is the battery life. I go a month or two between charges, reading heavily. My wife’s Kobo needs to be charged every couple weeks and she’s a much lighter reader than me.
