This is what (some) runners do. And why not? If you're going to be spending hours upon hours training, you should definitely be comfortable... AND feel great about what you are wearing!
Seeing as I spend roughly 85% of my time in athletic apparel, I feel like the new addiction is fairly healthy. I mean, at least it's useful, right? And so cute!!
How did it start? My mother in law, Becky. Yep, Becky, it's all your fault!! :)
At Christmas she bought me a beautiful black running jacket with sweet detailing. The hood had a ponytail holder. There were thumb holes and hand covers--amazing! It was warm and comfy for my first long runs in training. After that, it all went down hill.... and now I'm on the site all the time. This does not mean I'm buying things all the time--just oogling them!
However, I did purchase the Pace Setter Skirt (birthday money!) and absolutely LOVE it!! I'm pretty sure it is the most comfortable skirt I've run in--and I've gone through a few. The shorts stay in place. Just good stuff. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great running skirt! Isn't it cute?!? No, those are NOT my legs. I WISH!
It's not cheap---so a lot of looking but I thought I would share... in case anyone else needed to have a fun little obsession for a while. I just love that there are more companies like Lululemon, creating great garmets for running and working out :)
Lululemon has been showcased recently because of their business success.

Jackie! I stumbled across your blog-- linked through some other site. I love Lululemon. My mother-in-law also started my obsession with a jacket she bought me as well. I ran the Georgia Marathon with one of their skirts, too. No chaffing and it perfect. Worth every penny. :)
I love reading your entries. I just started getting into long distance running and really, really love it. Did my first half at Disney in 1:46 (Didnt make my goal time but I'm okay with that) and then a few weeks later decided to go for a full (with no training- yikes!). We managed to finish in 4:30 but would like to qualify for the Boston marathon. I still remember seeing your picture from the marathon on the walls near the T stops. :)))
