I started the C25K over the weekend and went for day 2 early this morning before work. The only time I'll have available to do this program will either be first thing in the morning or later in the evening when it's coldest.

I need to invest in some lightweight gloves & a headband that covers the ears as it gets colder.

Do any of y'all know where I can find a headband that is cute as well as functional??

I've looked @ a few sites (roadrunnersports.com, newbalance.com, etc) but can't find any cute headbands to cover my ears.

Anyone have any insight as to where I may find some or is this a fruitless search??

    RunningWarehouse.com is where i buy a lot of stuff lately.

    Under Armour has some great cold weather running gear.

    I wear BondiBands (super cute styles) sometimes and they cover the hears but they don't provide a great deal of warmth in cold weather.

    I have some fleece ones from target. I don't know if they are selling them yet, but they work!

    Go to target.com, they have a lot of great head bands. I usually just wear a hat that covers my ears, so you could look into those as another option.

    Type "running ear warmers" in Amazon and you should find a few suppliers :smile:

    NIce job on the C25K. I started yesterday too! I might check out REI or a sporting good store. I use a fleece headband. It's not made for running but snowboarding. You might find that those are helpful cause they really keep your ears toasty and block the wind which always makes my ears hurt so bad.

    GOOD LUCK and Keep up the great work!

    any sports store or local running store in your area should carry most all of the running gear. I really like under armour running gear!

    Thanks for all your suggestions!

    There's actually a half marathon in my area this upcoming Saturday so I may hit up the expo for it and see if they have anything.

    Thanks again, guys!

    Does it have to be from a running store? I have TONS of cute headbands from Target/Walmart/TJ Maxx/etc. that are fleece-lined and keep my ears toast when I run! Also, I highly recommend these: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/72714?source=CMPSHOP&cm_ven=FROOGLE
    They are simple, comfortable, and they don't slide off your hair when you get sweaty - not to mention allow you to listen to must without jamming earbuds in your ears below a headband!! :)
