Skirtastic!

June 29, 2007 By: Runner Leana

I am excited about the Calgary Marathon race expo next weekend. I’m a big fan of running skirts and I never run in shorts anymore. They are much more comfortable and it helps to avoid the rather annoying and painful “chub rub.” Tights are a cold weather necessity, but I abhor those as well (mostly because they are so darn unforgiving).
Anyhow….my favorite running skirt company, Skirt Sports, is having a booth at the expo, and with any luck I’ll be able to pick up one of these:

I figure the zebra stripes are bound to make me look fast….

There is also another company, Running Skirts, that is also going to have a booth at the expo. Maybe it is worthwhile trying another brand to see how it compares? I have a New Balance skirt that just arrived in the mail that I will be trying out soon, so we’ll see how I like that one. Ah, who said running was an inexpensive sport?
