Running skirt-the best invention

When they first started appearing, I didn't think know what the fuss was all about and was certain I would never wear one.  Now I am SOLD on running skirts. 

Because 1.Lycra running tights and bike shorts do nothing good for my self conscious thunder thighs.  2.Running tights are a little too thin and cold to wear alone in the winter. 

2 of my running problems solved.  Love running skirts.  Now if they could get rid of that nagging pain in my heel...

Winter Running

I've signed up for my next marathon, the Wenatchee Marathon on April 20.  I have been running but not exactly following my intented training schedule.  My body has been telling me it's too dark so start my run later in the morning.  It has also been colder than the usual Seattle winter so my body tells me to shorten the route and spend less time out in the cold.  I'll be kind and listen to what my body wants.  and next week, I'll bust out the headlamp for early morning runs and add another layer to my winter running ensemble and have another cup of hot coffee.
