So as you can see, I had decided to start a blog about running, specifically about running in a skirt. Unfortunately as soon as I finished my last post the pain in my foot began. Ok... maybe a couple days later. It had hurt some the day I ran with RIT in 3 degree weather but I brushed it off to the cold and having Raynaud's syndrome. The following week when I ran with the group, I had to have Koach pick me up at 4 miles.
At this point I can only wear shoes that do not lace over the arch of my foot. It could be a stress fracture or it could be capulitis (sp?) which is simply a swelling around the metatarsals of the foot. Either way, recovery is 6 to 8 weeks. So for now, I'm mixing up a batch of homemade hot chocolate while waiting for the snow to start falling tomorrow!
Happy and Safe New Year to all!

All things about running... especially in a skirt!

It's New!
.... but still in a skirt. New blog but old habits. I'm a skirt girl. When I dress up - it's a skirt or a dress. I only own one pair of jeans and one pantsuit. Oh and I have a pair of capri's! So it was only natural that when I run it would be in a skirt.
When I first started wearing running skirts most of the available ones came in black. BORING! The pocket, singular..not pockets, if they had one was in the middle of the back and not big enough to hold anything bigger than a key and Chapstick! As new colors came available I would be asked if I played tennis... ummm... that's a NO! Not a clue how to play the game.
As I'd run the paved trails here in the Kansas City area, I was really the only person in a skirt. This was 2007. I could go MONTHS without seeing another skirted runner! Out on the dirt trails there were even fewer.
Over time not only did skirts start to come in more colors and patterns but they became more functional. The shorts underneath often have rubber grippers like tri-shorts so that they stay in place. Not much is worse than having the legs "roll up" - I do not know about you but I certainly do not need more bulk with my chub-rub!
So this will be the story of running in a skirt! My hope is to talk about all the girlie things associated with running... like why is everything pink??? or how do you respond to "cat calls"? Or even how do you deal with... well you know?
Until next time!
