02/17/2017 by Deborah Brooks

skirt box

As most of you are aware, I have been a Skirt Sports Ambassador for a few years now. However, this post was completely my idea and I have not been compensated for it. All the skirt love is my own.

My friend and fellow ambassador, Erika (MCMMamaRuns), and I have teamed up to create our own Skirt Box to share with you. Erika and I … [Read more...]

What To Wear On A Rainy Run + Shoe Hoodies Giveaway

02/03/2017 by Deborah Brooks

What to wear on a rainy run

Of course it would be amazing if every run could be run in perfect weather conditions wouldn't it? But... since that is not going to happen, we have two choices: either run on the treadmill or prepare for a rainy run. I personally prefer to run outside no matter what the weather over a treadmill run. In fact, sometimes running in the rain can be very cathartic for me. Today, I am sharing a few of my rainy day essentials for what to wear on a rainy run and a fun giveaway for a pair of shoe … [Read more...]

skirt sports|spring|running|favorites

Part of what I love about spring running is putting away the gloves, long tights and turtlenecks and pulling out all of the bright fun spring running clothes.

As a skirt sports ambassador, I have the chance to get my hands on some of the new gear as soon as it hits the shelves. Today I am sharing a few of my favorite pieces from the spring collection.

Winter Running- Be Prepared From Head To Toe

Winter running-love it or hate it? Whatever your answer, we can’t avoid it. For the most part, I enjoy winter running much more than the heat and humidity of summer running. Over the past 15 years, I have tried out a ton of gear and finally have my favorite pieces nailed down to a science. […]
