Runner’s World Skirted

July 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Happy 4th of July eve! I trust your weekend is fabulous and festive! Today after church we are having a neighborhood shindig, I am curious as to how this will go being out in the heat and all….anyway, If you follow me on Twitter or like my Facebook fan page, you know that Running Skirts had the awesome honor of being on the COVER of the August issue of Runner’s World magazine! Our skirt AND arm sleeves grace the cover, and MANY more of our pieces are on the inside. SWEET!

look how awesome my fellow RS rep Paige looks on the inside of the mag!

(In case you were wondering, we DO have the preppy pink argyle skirt in stock in many sizes!)

I checked Barnes and Noble Thursday and Friday to no avail, but then got my issue in my mailbox Friday afternoon. I am proud to be a part of the Running Skirt family!

Speaking of which, yesterday, Bobby was able to join me at our Team in Training run of 5 miles along the path at the beach. It was at 6 am, which I’m not a fan of, but we did it, and did it almost 3 minutes faster than I ran last Saturday. Heck yes! I DO however need new shoes asap. I think they are what is giving me knee pain on my LEFT side. They have over 500 miles on them. Maybe 600. yeah, that bad.

Here I am after the humid sweaty run!

Skirted up in azure dot running skirt.

great. Now the sun is in my eyeballs.

Nicole’s first time to run 5 miles way to go! I even got her in a skirt! Not a RS skirt, but I’ll get her there.

QOTD: Do you subscribe to any magazines? Running or non running? I get Runner’s World and US weekly. I used to get SELF, but didn’t like the direction the magazine was going.

    I get runner’s world and love it! I also get Self, Rachael Ray, Shape and Glamour. I get waay too many magazines because when they send out those deals of a year for $5-10, I just can’t turn it down because a single issue usually costs $4 at the grocery store. Those running skirts are cute!

    Runners World, Coastal Living, Southern Living, Rachel Ray, couple of nursing journals… speaking of running shoes: I’ve recently been reading a lot of runners say they have more than one pair and rotate them. I have one pair. And wear them till they need to be replaced. What do you do?

    • Heather says

      July 5, 2011 at 12:19 pm

      I have heard that too. I have never done the rotating thing, I just buy a pair, run about 400-450 miles, then demote them to cross training shoes.

    500 or 600 miles! Wow! New shoes are going to feel amazing for you!

    So cute! I have yet to try a Running Skirt but think they look adorable on other runners! So glad your company got featured on RW! Skirts certainly add a fun punch to any running outfit!

      so fun, you should try one, you won’t regret it!

    I loved the cover of the new issue! Such a fun article. I noticed in the photo of Paige that she has bibs from Rock ‘n Roll Mardi Gras and Dallas – two races I did as well! Neat.

      awesome! yeah she was at the sweaty bands booth for RnR NOLA, I ran too but didnt know her then, I’m sure we crossed paths at the expo!

    A note on your shoes, I use Brooks Vapor 8’s and demote them to walking shoes when I reach about 800 miles (1,300 km) on them. I have not noticed any problems with the soles at that point although I am usually about to put my big toe nail through the top. Using them for walking I usually keep them until just under 2,000 km’s.(1,200 miles). I track all my walking and running in SportTracks3 so I know how old/many km’s my socks, shoes and knee supports have done so that I protect myself from failing support 😉 Depends on model and brand of your shoes to how often you should look at changing them!

    • Heather says

      July 5, 2011 at 12:18 pm

      wow 800 miles? thats a lot! I demote mine to walking shoes then gardening/mud shoes, then they get donated ha!

    girl get yourself some new shoes! So not worth it to end up with another painful knee! I hit 300 and i’m on the the next ones!

    • Heather says

      July 5, 2011 at 12:17 pm

      I know I know. i kept saying I needed to do it but just never did, my own dang fault. bleh.

    Oh my…I really really want that pink skirt! 🙂 I was subscribed to Runners world for awhile but somehow it stopped. 🙁 That is the only magazine I would even want to subscribe too. Funny…even with all my wedding planning… I did not really get into wedding mags much. But wedding blogs…oh jeeze that is a whole other story!

      email them and check on the status of your subscription! the pink skirt is so fun!

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).
