New Happiness

I have wanted a running skirt for a year now. I had avoided buying one because I just didn't want to spend the money. I finally broke down though. Given my issues with "chub rub", all these models with 3 in. inseams and under seemed like poor choices. I finally settled on the North Face Eat My Dust Skirt. It appealed to me because of it's 5.5in. inseam on the under shorts, and the zippy pocket in the back.

The running skirt made it's debut at the Inaugural Sally K Winters 5K in West Point. It was a night race, which is a few one for me. I didn't expect to do to well, but I was more then overwhelmed. 26:20! I have wanted to run a 26:30 for years. I always felt like if I could do that, I would really have accomplished something. And to be under it - wow! Of course I won my age group. They had really great prizes, but in the middle of all the gift cards to Umi and Old Venice, somehow my age group was for a card to Petal Pushers. Of course my first question was, "what is that?" Guess I'll have to find out since I have $25 to spend!
