My training is going really well, the running is getting a tad easier and I'm actually kinda sorta for reals enjoying it.
I'm still having issues finding the best way to cover my bottom half. I am pear shaped and I cannot wear running shorts unless I want them to ride up my crotch the whole time. My New Balance Bonita Run Skirt has seriously been a life saver, as it covers my ass wonderfully. The only downer, I need to wear capri tights under it, or else the shorts underneath ride up. The issue: it's HOT in Ohio right now, and super humid. My goal: A pair of running tight shorts, knee length or so, to wear under the skirt. (Could this get any more complicated?) I'm a girlie girl, I like skirts and cute tank tops and bright colors - can I help it if I want to look super cute when I'm out there sweating my ass off? ;-)
In other news, the job is settling down which means I need to get my ass in gear prepping for next semester. I'm teaching a new course in the fall and have yet to get that ball rolling. Now that I've literally got my ass in gear I need figuratively shift it into an art history gear, and fast.
Oh yeah, and that thesis thing. Need to finish that. Right.
You're doing a great job. Finding the right mix of decent gear is but a small challenge. Unfortunately, it can involve a fair amount of trial and error.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the training...I am just getting into gear too.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with shorts/skirts. I usually just scare the world with compression shorts.
Great job getting it done girly!
ReplyDeleteI have seen some decent Nike gear lately that might work for you. Good luck trying to find "the one" I know I searched for ever before I found a pair of shorts I liked!
I have a similar issue so I end up wearing yoga pants and roll up the legs to make them shorts. I look like hell, but at least I haven't busted my bank account.
ReplyDeleteNew class prep is a total time-suck. Good luck!
