Yay for Friday! It is gloomy and cold here, but I am excited because I get to see my husband tonight! Also, secretly hoping he will take me out to eat Mexican food. Not so excited we are trying to run 18 miles tomorrow, but that’s besides the point.
I enjoyed writing my runner’s Christmas gift guide so much, I decided to make it a part of my blog every week. On Friday’s I will talk about a favorite thing, product, place, food, anything that I am currently really liking! (Now, let’s just hope I remember to actually do it!)
I thought I would kick things off with something that is near and dear to my heart, even thought I have talked about them several times before. running skirts.
In the photo above I am wearing my newest running skirt from the new winter collection.
I really, really, love running skirts from runningskirts.com. Not just because they are cute either. There are no seams against your skin so there is no itching or rubbing. The fabric feels nice and comfy and there are so many options to choose from. If you don’t like the length of the running skirt, you can shooce the longer athletic skirt with built in spandex shorts instead of the built in briefs. They are a little pricey, but well worth it. I have several I have had for about 2 years now and they are still holding up great with no signs of falling apart. If you go to their website and sign up for their mailing list, sometimes they will send you coupons for free shipping, tell you about discounts and specials, etc.
I will admit at first I felt weird running in a skirt, but now, I HATE running in shorts and the only thing I will run in besides my skirts are pants when it’s really cold. Some people are not big fans of the skirts, and if that’s you, that’s ok….I will still be your friend. 
This is the perfect time to ask for one for Christmas. I can’t wait until the Disney marathon expo so I can hang out at the running skirts booth again!
QOTD: Do you have running skirts? Do you like them? What kind are your favorites?
I don’t own a running skirt but I see more and more people running with them! I may have to get my hands on one at the Disney Expo too!
I was skeptical at first but now I love them! the twins are so sweet, def go to the booth at the expo!
They are super cute but they do not work for me
Like the idea of discussing your favorites every Friday!
Yeah i enjoyed talking about the Christmas list of things I liked so i thought it would be fun!
I’m so on the running skirt bandwagon! Definitely prefer them to shorts – the kicker, I think, is it’s the comfort of spandex without your business hanging out for all to see. My favorite right now is the RunningSkirt Sub-zero Skirt/tight combo (same design as yours with black tights). I’ve found I can wear the RS skirts with capris under them and they’re still comfy. Up ’til this week my favorite was North Face Eat My Dust Skirt. I have strong thighs and the longer cut is more flattering.
so glad you like them! We don’t get a lot of cold weather so I don’t have any of the ones with tights. I have worn them with plain out running tights and they worked fine though like you said, still comfy!
Love me some Running Skirts!!!! :0)
of course!
I really liked that list you did…you should do one for gifts for guys. The only gifts we have left to get for Christmas are for my step-dad, brother in law and father in law. Guys are really hard to shop for! I would love suggestions!
I find things from the sharper image or brookstone are good for guys. Guys love gadgets! I always can find at least something in there. good luck!
i vote yes! love the skirts hate shorts!!! although i feel like people don’t see me as a “serious” runner…which i guess is ok, cause i’m not really a “serious” person
your right, people view skirt wearing runners as non serious, but I don’t really care, who cares what they think, right?
Do I have running skirts??? Girl, you KNOW I do! Lol
oh gosh. The running skirt queen has arrived! hehe
Hahaha. I love runningskirts.com. I have a zillion. LOL The regular briefs skirts though. For skirts with shorts, the SparkleTech from sparkleskirts.com can’t be beat. The shorts are pretty compressive and do not ride up at ALL!
interesting. I am all about the briefs too. If I wanted to wear spandex, I would just wear them with the runing skirt added on top ha.
I haven’t found any shorts that don’t ride up other than the ones in the sparkle tech. Lol. I am looking for some capris to put under my RS though.
interesting! thanks for the tip.
Well, you did it! Nice job! I think you guys are being smart in forgoing the 20 miler. Better to take it easy and NOT get hurt, and still be able to do the 26.2 than ignore what your body. Ahem, speaking from experience…
Anyway, way to go! I love that skirt but they are sold out of the black and white in my size.
thanks! I feel better about not doing the 20 knowing others think it’s a good idea too.
bummer! Hope they get it back in your size. have you tried running warehouse?
