Running in Skirts

I bought a running skirt yesterday at Target. Main reason: it was in the clearance section.

For anyone who may not know; a running skirt sort of looks like those things female tennis players wear and it has little spandex shorts underneath. So, you're basically running down the street in a mini spandex skirt.

I decided to try the skirt out today, choosing to wear my gray UT t-shirt to nicely complement my dark grayish skirt with a pink stripe down each side. Truth: I was probably an awkward sight. I only got one beep, and no one nearly ran off the road watching me.

There was definitely an upside to this skirt... it didn't ride up. When I wear running shorts, they tend to roll up the front of my legs and into my crotch (downside to having the thick legs of a black girl). But the skirt stayed perfectly in the down-right position. Of course, the spandex shorts underneath rolled up and nicely hugged my ass. Luckily, the skirt is just tight enough to no float up at my every bounce (a.k.a. no one has to see the ass-hugging occurring underneath).

Well, I went two miles. I only "ran" the first mile and walked home. It took me 30 minutes. So, the skirt doesn't create miracles, but I really like it. I might go get another one. At some point.
