Gear Review- Runningskirts.com

Shortly after I began running last year I discovered running skirts. As an Athena and sufferer of the "Chub Rub" it became increasing annoying to have my shorts rise up everytime I was attempting to run. I decided to try a running skirt and have never looked back. I ow several different brands and types and have learned through year what works for what occasion.

My most durable running skirt yet has come from http://www.runningskirts.com/. The material is a thicker lycra that holds in where it needs holding. There are different versions including ones with briefs, and built in compression shorts.

Even though the built in compression shorts were available, I still wore my underarmour compression shorts underneath as they were longer. I am sure it defeated the purpose, but again I needed the extra coverage.

As I was browsing their website the other week I noticed that they had a section for causes that they support. I emailed them in regards to my fundraising for the AT Children's project and they linked me on their page. I also happened to mention that it would be great if they could come out with a skirt for the Athena's with a longer compression short. Wouldn;t you know it? They just came out with a just below the knee version!!



Not only did they post my cause they allowed me to pick any skirt off of their website. And so I chose this one!!! Now that the weather is cooling down, this is the perfect opportunity to wear this version. It features the same wonderful quality in the skirt and also the compression Capri. I own another Capri skirt but the pant portion is made of a thinner material and the skirt itself does not do much to hold things in as you run.

Last but not least, when I mentioned that I was going to blog a reveiw they said:
 "We would love it if you would post a review on your blog and have set up a special Promo Code for your readers. If they enter the code "ATHENA" in the checkout notes we will give them a 15% refund of their purchase. "

I cannot say enough about these girls and their company and ethics!!
Thank you Runningskirts.com!! See you in January at the Disney Marathon!!
