Glad it’s not just me! That sounds like a great idea; I’ve found that setting some other non-running goals in the summer months is really helpful…since, to me, running is absolute torture when it’s hot and I want absolutely no part of it, haha.

Me too!!! I mean, the fact that they’re pretty is one thing, but they have just so many other good features (like those giant pockets!) that it’s hard not to give in.

YES! I am LOVING the pockets…it feels so freeing to not have to run with a belt, because there is SO much room in those things!

Haha, I hear ya! The condo pool is literally steps from our door, and yet there’s ALWAYS an excuse not to swim. The lounging around BY the pool, though, is another story.

I know the cost is high, but, YES, they are totally worth it. And I was a true skeptic, believe me! I think the RunningSkirts are great, too, but the sizing on this one seems to work for me a little better. I am totally obsessed.

UGH, you said it! LOL. I’m dreading it, too…I hate that a November marathon means having so start in the middle of summer.

Yup. I hear ya. Can’t wear shorts. Have NEVER run in shorts. I’m a little envious of everyone who can just put on any pair of shorts on a hot summer day and go for a run, not gonna lie. And it figures that the ONE thing I’ve found that works costs, like, a zillion dollars per skirt, lol.

OMG I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo not looking forward to summer marathon training. Every time I think about it I’m like WHY THE HELL DID I REGISTER?!?! And shorts, no matter how awesome, just never work for me. In addition to having larger thighs my legs are long so I can’t find shorts that work. I’m super envious/happy that you were able to find something that words for you! Enjoy!

I can understand your hesitation with the swimming part of the tri, I would be the same way. I even have a swimming pool in my backyard which I could easily use for cross training but I don’t. The most use I get out of it is watching our Labradors swim!

Everyone just RAVES about those SparkleSkirts! I have not bought one because the cost intimidates me a bit but everyone who has one says it is totally worth the expense. I will admit I do LOVE my Runningskirts.com skirts and LOVE the 2 Velcro pockets in the front. I have several and hope to get more this summer. Perhaps I ought to ask for a SparkleSkirt for my birthday too!

i cannot sing the praises of Sparkleskirts enough. they are expensive but the built in shorts and crazy pockets are so worth it. I wore it during the LA marathon, and it never once moved!

I mostly wear Running Skirts but I have a Sparkle Skirt, and am ordering another one next month. I love the freedom of the skirts and so many designs
