Race Attire

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you will know I have a bit of an obsession with Running Skirts. Imagine my delight when I went to their website, and found out they have created a running skirt for the Shamrock Marathon.


Cute (although I would wear a tank top).

However, this is my first marathon in which I get to wear the Marathon Maniac singlet! I became a maniac back in November at the Hamilton Marathon, but I didn't get my singlet in time for Philly marathon, so this is my first chance to wear the singlet (yellow, red and black theme similar to the logo below). I only want to wear the singlet for marathon races.







I could combine the two, but would Tim Gunn approve? (I *heart* Tim)



Tough call, but I think I am going to wear the MM singlet, but I just might get that skirt anyway for another race. Oh wait, I am supposed to be cutting back on running purchases... LOL Who am I kidding?!

  1. ha ha the drama of getting things to match for racing. I would go for the black running skirt or something, but I have to match. :(

  2. Yeah, that would not get Tim Gunn's approval, although I don't think that much race attire would.
    I'd go black or red shorts.
    I'd def go for the shamrock skirt, looks so cute!

  4. Very cute!! I love the green. It's St Patrick's Day...so many people wear something big/green/silly, so your mismatching won't be a big deal at all! I say wear the two!

  5. The skirt is cute! RunningLaur's probably right - I don't think anything we put together for race day will meet TG's approval.

  18. I'd focus on what's the msot comfortable. The skirt would be perfect but yellow and green...hm...not the best combo. Though I agree with Aron that you'd be easy to spot:) Ana-Maria

  26. Girl if you can wear the running skirt - run! Run for us men! We love em! It should be a law.. haha

  27. Love the skirt . . . but I don't think it goes with the singlet. I would wear a black running skirt and save the green for another race (but definitely buy it - can never have enough cute running clothes!).

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'd wear the green skirt with the singlet. Why not? Is Tim Gunn going to run next to you and reprimand you? Or Stacy and Clinton?

    ReplyDelete
