Champion Running Skirt - Target

Guest Review by Tea Time:

A couple of weeks ago it started to get really hot here in Socal. I am one of those people who wear too much clothes to run. Not sure why. I always figure that I can always take it off but if I didn't have it with me, then if I get cold, I would be screwed. Anyways, as I mentioned it got really hot here lately so I had to start wearing shorts again. I hate my legs so I was not looking forward to this. I went to Target one day randomly to pick up other things, not intending on buying a running skirt but I did wander into the workout wear section and saw these Champion running skirts. I've read lots of blogs where girls would praise these things up and down but I never thought they were for me. I decided to try a pair on because I noticed that the skirt would cover my butt when I was running. I have a thing about people looking at my butt while running. Especially if I am running next to a heavy traffic road. Okay, maybe that is just me. Anyways, I ended up buying said skirt since on top of covering my butt, it was really comfortable (I mean ridiciously so) and it was really quite cute. If you have long legs, this skirt will make you look even cuter (see the ad), but I have short legs and I think it still is pretty cute. I took the skirt out for a test run with my running group. My coaches made fun of me for wearing a skirt to run. They are very serious runners, so I was embarassed but I can tell all the girls in the group were jealous of my running skirt...haha. This skirt comes in two design and can be found at Target. They have an all black one and one with skinny white piping down the sides. I think they also come in burgundy..sorry I cannot remember as I never buy any running wear bottoms in anything but black. I love these skirts, I have 2 already. :)

Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory).

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
