I’m not feeling well again tonight, so I’m going to try to write this as speedy as I possibly can… which I’m sure will not be speedy in the slightest.
Yesterday I took my running skirt on its first adventure – which happened to be a 61-minute run around town. I am definitely a fan. It might even be half-marathon race material : ) My running attire varies some from more-fitted capris to typical running shorts and cotton tees. The weather is obviously the determining factor.
- What do you prefer to wear running/exercising?
- What do you think of running skirts – silly, comfy?
My Friday began like every other, since I’ve been home, with 1 hour of DanceFit. After class, I ran home – literally – and made a speedy serving of steel cut oats in my new big blue birthday bowl mug.
-
1 c. water
-
1/3 c. steel cut oats
-
1/2 T flax
-
organic S + B-berries
-
sprinkle of raw sugar
I ate my breakfast in front of my computer screen, per usual, then jumped in the shower for a speedy scrub, packed a few simple snacks, and then it was time to prep for The Big Day!
I spent 3 hours chopping 100 pounds of red potatoes. I also must have minced at least 100 garlic gloves – I smelled sexy!
Tomorrow is going to be one heck of an experience. Thankfully, my aunt has kindly offered to be my helper. There is a lot of squash to be sautéed and 100 pounds of potatoes to be roasted. I’ve got my fingers crossed…
The cooking didn’t stop when I got home. Even though my mom made homemade pizza for dinner on Monday, I had a craving for it again tonight. There’s no rule that you can’t have pizza twice in 1 week… not that I’m aware of anyway!
Summer Sunset Pizza
locally-made pizza dough, local pesto, caramelized onion, heirloom tomato, mini peppers, local basil chevre + mystery hard cheese [parm perhaps]
…and a [dark] salad of homegrown greens.
My dad just poured me a cup of Tazo Calm Tea. I don’t think I’ll be able to fully relax until tomorrow’s said and done.
Hope ya’ll have a wonderful weekend… I really do : )

Hope you feel better soon!
I would eat pizza every night of the week if I could!
Wow, that pizza looks great, as do steel cut oats too of course!
I actually was hesitant to try my running skirt, but found out I loved it after my first run too. Other than that, I wear my many Nike legging/capris and tanks and tees.
Feel better soon!
I love my running skirt! I thought they were silly before I tried one, but they are surprisingly comfortable. And you don’t have to worry about things riding up…the only time I haven’t enjoyed wearing one is when there is a lot of humidity in the air. For whatever reason, I’ve had an issue with chafing after wearing my running skirt during humid mornings. I’m not sure if shorts would have solved the issue, by any means…but other than that, I heart my running skirt! I’m glad you like yours too. :)
I think running skirts are super cute and stylish! I’ve never worn one, but they look nice on most people.
And that pizza??!! Yum! Looks amazing!
Wow, that pizza looks absolutely delicious – yuuumy!
I like running skirts but not for running. haha…I actually like them for running errands. They are super comfortable for lounge wear in my opinion, but not for actually exercising.
Ha! I had pizza 2 times last week for dinner, too. Amy’s Kitchen – pesto and margherita. yum yum.
As for skirts – I think they’re cute! A way to be feminine and sporty at the same time. :)
I hope your day goes well! That pizza and those oats look GREAT. Your food pics always make me hungry lol.
I’ve never actually run in a running skirt, I’ve kinda always thought them weird? It looks cute on you though! I’m not sure if I’m daring enough to try one. I usually just throw on cotton tees, running shorts or capris.
I just ate a piece of pizza and it was NOWHERE near as pretty as yours :)
I’ve never worn a running skirt, but I’ve been looking for a good one to invest in! I’ve heard great things about them and I definitely don’t think they’re silly.
I’ve been thinking about getting a running skirt too. I think they are cute and look fun, but I haven’t tried one myself. Hoping to score one on sale at TJMaxx :)
That’s where I found mine : )
I like to run in tight compression-like capris although I am getting more used to the idea of shorts if it’s hot out there! I tried on a running skirt but felt like a tennis player and opted for shorts instead. Glad you like yours though…whatever works, right?
That pizza looks FABULOUS! I say, eat pizza as many times a week as you want – especially when it’s homemade!
I’ve never worn a running skirt, but I think they’re super cute :)
I LOVE your running skirt! I have never been daring enough to buy one…not sure why because I love them!
Thank you!
Oh, and you commenting on my blog totally just made my day : )
I have a running skirt! I love it – cute exercise clothes always give me a boost :D
I LOVE running skirts. I just need to purchase one that fits me better. The three I have were bought on Ebay all together. They are Champion brand and a size small, but they are pretty loose around my waist. :(
Absolutely LOVE your blog. Great photos and recipes… I’m hungry!
This is perfect for the college bound. I am posting on my blog.
