Hood to Coast Running Skirts

By Colleen @colleenalicia · On September 1, 2010

Someone very special recently pointed out that I totally forgot to post an HTC running skirt count. I want to assure you that this is not because I didn’t keep track, I just had so many other things to tell you about that it slipped my mind. HTC is a little tricky, because obviously there is no chance whatsoever that I saw every runner, and in addition, a lot of people changed clothes throughout the race. As usual I’m going to ignore these factors, and just go with what I do know.

The HTC results page tells us that 1,023 teams finished. This excludes the walkers and high school kids, but I’m not really concerned with them. During the race I counted exactly 15 running skirts, a kilt, and the rare but just as silly running dress. I also don’t know how many people made up the 1,023 teams, so I’m going to further assume that there was only one running skirt/kilt/dress per team. This comes out to 1.7 percent of Hood to Coast teams being somehow involved in a running skirt situation.

Some of my teammates revealed to me that they either own a running skirt or have running skirt envy. I’m still waiting for somebody to buy me one so I can try and see for myself.

I must confess, I started running at a very early age. Sadly, my runs were unblogumented until around age 23, so you'll have to use your imagination for all the runs I went on before that. Running has always been my go-to sport, but sadly, I spend a good amount of my time with chronic injuries. I have learned to entertain myself athletically with other pursuits such as kettlebell, yoga, and bikini competitions, when I can't run. In addition to my unique talent for working out and then blogging about it, I am an amateur puppy stylist and photographer, television enthusiast, and I'm usually CPR/AED certified, but I would still prefer if you didn't pass out when we're together.

    I bought you a running skirt for your birthday, but then you took down your address from FB and later (yesterday) wrote a really boring blog entry so I finally took it back and bought 5L of Listerine instead. I’m now totally trashed and about ready to go running myself. Inspiration comes from the strangest places!

    I have already started making a list of presents to give you in the future. I will add “running skirt” to this list.

    Owning a running skirt is so cool. I wish someone will buy me a running skirt too.

    About Me

    I’m Colleen. I started this blog when I was 23 years old and training for my first marathon. I was single, semi-employed, generally directionless in life, and had a lot of free time on my hands. I have a lot less free time now, but I still love to come here and dump my rambling, unedited thoughts after a workout or race once in a while.
