More on running skirts

So, even though I think that running skirt I posted a picture of is super cute and actually looks decent on me, there was a slightly longer skirt that I had really had my eyes on, so I ordered it so I could at least try it on and make an informed decision about which skirt I wanted, with the plan to return the one I decided not to go with. I wanted to find the one that would be the very best for me, since I actually shelled out more money on a running skirt than I have on anything else for running besides shoes. So, the one I had been eying was the Skirt Sports Gym Girl Ultra. It supposedly has no ride compression shorts under the skirt and it has pockets on the shorts, which is nice for little things you want to carry with you on a longer run. Here's a picture:


After getting it in the mail, I tried it on, and the very first thing I liked was the length and feel of the shorts underneath! They feel awesome. I also really love how long the skirt is. It's not "long", but for a running skirt, it's long. I tried on each right after the other in front of the mirror a couple of times, took some faux jogging steps and determined that the Gym Girl Ultra is the skirt for me! While running, I barely even noticed it the whole time, except for the last quarter mile when I was running fast to the end, stretching out my stride a lot, and THEN the no riding compression shorts rode up a little. Luckily, I didn't have any chafing or anything. Whew! So there you have it! I love my running skirt! Now the only gear I still need is some new running shirts.
