Let me say, I'm 4'10 ( and half.. you can't forget the half )" ... so.. I'm .. shall we say vertically challenged. That being said, the happy girl isn't a skirt that I've tested for running. Not to say that I couldn't run it it, I honestly just haven't tested it for running. I do know several ( taller ladies ) who run in it, and it's their go-to skirt. It hasn't been my go-to skirt for working out, but it has been my go-to skirt for other things.... like... oh... Church... school orientation... grocery shopping.... running errands.... out with the girls... out with the family for family outings... out to eat .... the playground.... mainly it's my skirt that I use for when I need to look.. shall we say.... presentable. So the Happy Girl definitely makes me happy in that it's comfort...

Enough is enough of this sitting thing... like.. no... really... I'm done. I was told that I could run - it would just hurt. So after about 2 weeks of just sitting and pain and basically just not moving, I couldn't take it any longer. I told myself that if I could get a shoe on, I was running or walking or something. Let me tell you, the shoe was painful! But, I got it on.. and I got on the treadmill. Cute Lioness skirt from Skirt Sports in Free Love Print  I can't really put into words how great it felt to just move my body again. I had said a mile,

Well, it happened.. a trail run that I didn't consider fun ( during or after ). My first trail race that I left feeling defeated.... So, I had to stop and ask myself what was different about this one?  No other trail race has ever left me feeling defeated... so ..  what was different about this one... And it comes down ( I'm pretty sure ) to one thing....

I have always been that girl at the gym (or races) with the shorts over the leggings. Because without my shorts, I didn't feel confident. I don't know about you, but no matter what size pants I wear, when I workout, well things get caught in places that I don't really want them to get caught. So I wind up constantly readjusting my clothing and feeling really self conscious. Then I tried the heartbreaker skirt from Skirt Sports . From the moment I put it on, I was hooked. And my confidence level soared.
