I am so excited for my first race of 2016 tomorrow! I will be running the For The Love of It 10k in Virginia in the morning. So to be honest, part of the reason I signed up for this was to make sure that I had a snow/ice free place to run. Secondly, I just love the “cheesy” ness of Valentine’s Day. I am embracing it in full force this year-from head to toe! Thirdly, I love PR races because they are “run” so well.
For the Love of It 10k is a fun, festive local race where I expect to “run” into lots of MRTT members from other local chapters. Unless there is a drastic change in weather this is what I’ll be wearing Saturday morning.

SLS3 Run Belt Review
I’ve been putting the SLS3 Running belt to the test the past week. Sometimes I do not need to take a water belt with me but I do still want to carry my keys, maybe some chews and of course my phone for all of those running selfies. The SLS3 run belt can hold everything I need:
What I am liking about this SLS3 running belt:
-The large size pockets hold my large I Phone 6 as well as a key chain and gels
-The pockets are lined and water resistant
-The belt strap is slightly wider so it does not slip around at all on my hips. I prefer to wear my belts on my hips vs waist
-The belt is easily adjustable for when I have on multiple layers of clothes
-The belt is available in black, blue, pink and yellow
-The belt did not bounce around or move at all during my run.
SLS3 has offered to raffle off one of these babies for one of you. All you have to do is enter the rafflecopter below. Can’t wait to get one for yourself? Currently they are on Amazon (affiliate link).
I was provided this running belt from SLS3 in exchange for a fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Tell me- Are you doing a Valentine Themed race?
linking up with Nicole for fit n fashionable Friday join us!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Those pants rock! And the socks!!! Candy hearts were always my favorite.
Deborah Brooks says
Heart candies are the best! I love the pants bc they go with everything. Have a great weekend
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I’m not sure that there are any Valentine’s races here. I do like Valentines. I mean, what’s not to like about a holiday that involves chocolate, even if my husband knows better than to bring me chocolate.
But if *I* choose to indulge, that’s a different story.
Deborah Brooks says
Oh my husband would never get me chocolate either! I like to pick out my own anyway 🙂
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Such a cute outfit! Be careful out there, someone might try to run with you 😀
Deborah Brooks says
hmm that could be fun 🙂
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
You have the cutest stuff! I need a new belt that will fit my huge iphone 6! And those socks?? – adorable!
Good luck at the race!
Deborah Brooks says
This belt is great! It doesn’t move around at all and will hold your phone.
Chrissy @ Snacking in Sneakers says
No Valentine’s themed races on my agenda, but planning to run at the gym (that doesn’t sound nearly as exciting, haha). I love the outfit you picked out for your race and the belt seems like it fits in perfectly!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Should be lots of fun
Annmarie says
Such a cute outfit! My first race of 2016 is going to be a Valentine’s Day race too- need to find some festive things to wear 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
You might want to get on that 🙂
Barrie says
The flat outfit is tot-adorb, but so is the belt-one! I love the flowery pants! I don’t have a belt, but always wanted one, for extra stuff on the long runs- i have not a clue why I never bought one, but I know I will this yr- advil for the long-run alone!
Deborah Brooks says
Run belts are great especially when they stay in place the whole time. I always feel like I have so much to carry
steph says
those socks! I love hearts generally…and thanks for the reminder to get some candy for my fuel belt 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
thanks and well I could prob add some candy in here too just in case
[email protected] says
Sounds like a fun run!! Love the socks best!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks should be lots of fun. I love these small local races
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
What a fun theme for a race! There’s a big super bowl themed race here in NYC every year, but last year I froze my butt off doing it haha. The double pocket is a great feature on that belt. I feel like I always need more space.
Deborah Brooks says
It’s looking a little chilly here tomorrow too oh well! I like the double pockets as well.
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Good luck on the 10k tomorrow, that’s exciting! Love the belts too. You’ll be stylin!
Deborah Brooks says
Ah thanks! Should be a fun one
Mary Long says
Good luck on your race! I really like your flat mama look. you sold me…I just went on to Skirt Sports and placed my first order though your link. I chose those capris in pink because I am all about pink and black. I went with a tank too. I think I need a skirt for summer yoga. That would be cute I think :0)
Deborah Brooks says
Ah I can’t wait to hear how you love them!
Jordan says
Loving all of your printed leggings!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks they are lots of fun! Why wear black leggings right?!
Edye says
This product looks so cool! I’ve never used anything like it before, but would love too! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Blessings,
Edye
Deborah Brooks says
thanks! It’s a great running belt thanks for stopping by today
Ilka says
Cute outfit and the belt sounds great. It’s so important to have a good quality belt on your runs.:):)
Deborah Brooks says
I always have so much to carry for some reason 🙂
Sarah says
Fun, and I love those socks!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks should be fun!
Chaitali says
I love that the pocket is lined and water resistant. I hadn’t even thought of that as something to look for when looking at running belts.
Deborah Brooks says
I know great idea especially with the crazy weather we have
Elle says
It’s a great belt all right and you look very cute in your outfit!
Karen - Fit in France says
No valentine day’s races here…. Have fun. Love your outfit ! #jealous
Deborah Brooks says
Ah thanks. It’s kind of a silly holiday
Tricia@MissSippiPiddlin says
I freaking love those socks!! There is a local 5k next weekend an while I haven’t signed up yet I more than likely will. I sure wish I had some of those socks though.
See you tomorrow for coffee 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I love the socks! Yes see you for coffee for sure ☕️
Kim Hatting says
I LOVE those capri’s!!!!! Total cuteness!! I’m doing the Red Flannel Run (Des Moines, IA) next weekend…no Valentine theme, but this event is always held on the weekend closest to Valentine’s Day. It’s a lot of fun, but almost always VERY cold. I also tested the belt, and thought it was great (but it did slide up to my waist…..EVERY belt I’ve ever tried has done that, too). Good luck in your race!!
Deborah Brooks says
That’s one of the reasons why I wear it on my hips-did you try that? I love the tights too so cute. Good luck on your race next week it is a little chilly here too
Smitha @ RunningwithSDMom says
I absolutely love my SLS3 run belt! I even wear it to the grocery store!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha too funny! I do really like that it doesn’t move around on my like some of my others do
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Love love love those leggings. Will not, must not visit the Skirt Sports website!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha they do have some cute stuff with more coming! It’s so cold this morning I just had to change 🙂
Natalie says
Love the super cute tights and the pink jacket!! The belt looks so lightweight – I would totally wear this! Have a fun race tomorrow 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! It’s so cold this morning I have to change my whole outfit! Runner probs 🙂
Sharon says
Love your outfit! Have a great run! The belt seems great! I like that it is waterproof!
Deborah Brooks says
I like that it’s waterproof too! It’s cold this morning so I have to change my outfit #runnerprobs
rachel says
What a great giveaway! I haven’t heard of the SIS run belt. Thanks for sharing.
Deborah Brooks says
It is great to run in and doesn’t move around on my hips at all. I like that it is waterproof but have not tested it out
Mary Beth Jackson says
Great review! I have the RUN LOVE ZOOMA virtual challenge this weekend, I need some of those socks!
Deborah Brooks says
So many virtual runs this weekend I have 2!
Nik says
Not sure I would want to run with a belt? Is it bulky?
Deborah Brooks says
Not not at all! It’s perfect for carrying your phone and keys.
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Cute outfit!! I’m not a fan of anything around my waist sadly. But this looks awesome, just like a spibelt but with two pockets!
Deborah Brooks says
Similar yes but I find my SPI belt really slips around a lot while I run with it whereas I did not have that experience with this one. Thanks for entering!
