Has anyone ever tried a Running Dress?? My friend Michelle who is a serious triathlete swears by them. And speaking of Divas--they are super cute. Thoughts?
Do they give the same compression as my spandex knee-length pants?... Which I love.
(The less that jiggles, the better... I've got other things to obsess about while I run. Like the tightness of my laces, sweat stinging my eyes, the rhythm of my ponytail, underarm chaffing, random itches I have to stop to scratch and shuffling through the playlist that sounded good when I made it but isn't cutting it anymore).
Well- you know I'll always share my opinion. I'm not down with the whole dress or skirt thing while working out. I'm plenty comfy in shorts. I saw some girls wearing those at my marathon and it made me get the impression that they weren't that serious. They looked like they just wanted to look cute. Nothing wrong with that, but I never did see them cross the line . . . . hmmm. I think it's a little too cutesy for me. However, I will not judge you if you decide to be cutesy!
I think you should wear whatever you want to. I don't think what you wear is any indication of how serious or hard core you are... how you perform in your dress is what counts. I personally LOVE the skirt and think you should get the dress. Plus... how often do we mormon girls ever get to rock a short skirt?
No one ever listens to me, why should they start now? I'm just expressing my own opinion. Plus, I don't have legs like Tara. She can wear whatever she wants with those legs!
I just have to say, Tara: YOU ROCK THE KNEE SOCKS! For reals. I don't know too many people who can pull that off as awesomely as you... except maybe Amber. :)
Haven't tried a dress, but I LOVE the skirts at RunningSkirts.com
