Have you seen these new running skirts? These are getting so popular that Runner's World published an article on the topic in its July 2008 issue. You can see more Runner's World discussion on these skirts at http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-369-371--12738-0,00.html. Before I read the article, I swore that I would never wear a running skirt. There is something about running in a skirt that is contradictory to an athletic event; in my mind, true runners do not wear skirts.
The article made some good points, such as the fact that the skirts don't ride up. Anyone who runs much has fought the dreaded upward crawl of their running shorts. When this happens to me, I am quite thankful for the miracle product that is Body Glide (http://www.bodyglide.com/). However, I just cannot imagine running in a skirt. I wear skirts to work, but these all come to my knees. I do not own a mini skirt that I wear in public, so why would I run in one? The skirt seems to take the seriousness out of the sport, but maybe I am just too serious. I am thinking about buying one and trying it out. If I do, I will let you know.
