A running what?

I went out for my second run of the new spring season last night ... feeling pretty good that I didn't follow it up with ice cream (however, I did eat PC Blue Menu popcorn, which I feel is a much better option).

As I was running I got thinking back to last spring/summer ... my sister in law told me I should try on some running skorts (ya know that strange clothing item, shorts and a skirt combined) because they were awesome and comfortable and made you look wicked good ... and seeing how amazing she looked in her running skorts, I thought I'd give it a try, i mean, how bad could it be really ....

Really ...

If there is one thing I know I should never ever again under any circumstances put on my body again it's a running skort ... I wasn't even running, or moving, I was simply standing still in the change room and I had to turn away from the mirror in shock and horror (you know one of those change room moments when you just keep repeating "don't look in the mirror, just don't look in the mirror" but you HAVE to keep looking in the mirror because one ENTIRE wall of the change room IS a mirror). It was so awful. It was like Kirsty Alley meets Lady Ga Ga. Even the pencil working the change rooms at Lululemon had to admit that perhaps running pants (translation: snow pants) would be a better option for me and that perhaps I'd be more comfortable with more coverage.

Yeah. Fantastic.

So ... I'm not aiming for any kind of running skort or short this season, regardless of how insanely adorable they look on other people. Sigh. Maybe next year.
