About a year ago I made a wonderful discovery: The Running Skirt. There is just something about running in a skirt that makes you feel so tough and feminine at the same time. Most running skirts come with attached briefs or compression shorts, so you really aren’t running free 
I was lucky enough to find one running skirt at Target last year (by Champion) and it has been my running bottoms of choice ever since! Here I am running last years Ragnar sporting my running skirt (please ignore the fact that I look awful..this was the end of a very tiring 6 mile leg…my 3rd and last leg of Ragnar after getting no sleep):
I recently acquired my 2nd running skirt. I was shopping at Old Navy with my mom and we were looking for a way to spend her $10 credit. I made my way to their fitness clothing section and found this cutie in black handing on the wall:
I love that it is made of a mesh like fabric, reminiscent of gym shorts, but oh so much cuter. This is a great skirt for everyday training.
There are two online companies that sell performance running skirts that I am anxious to try. SkirtSports.com (who hosts 5K races called Skirt Chasers that I really hope will come to a city near me sometime in the future!) and Runningskirts.com (seriously, aren’t these plaid skirts adorable?). Both offer higher end running skirts designed for performance, and I am hoping to purchase one from at least one of these companies before this year’s Ragnar Race. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a different skirt for each leg of the race? Something cute and fun to keep me running when I want to give in and walk.
Okay, those look comfy! And I think you look great…after running that much, you deserve a medal! =)
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am now going to check out Target and Old Navy for running skirts. I have really been wanting one!!
I think you look great in that photo! And I love your royal blue skirt.
I actually have a running skirt from both SkirtSports and RunningSkirts – and I like both very much (the quality is pretty much comparable…).
