Running last week mostly didn’t happen. Oops.
More importantly, yesterday my friend Laura came across a race happening in Tugsed (which apparently is a place? Maybe it was a typo, but I’ll go with it), and was nice enough to give me a running skirt update.
Running skirts: 1
Sweatshirts tied around the front so they looked like skirts: 2
Later she discovered that this was an Earth Day 5k, with 327 people registered. I’m going to count each of the sweatshirts as one quarter of a running skirt, so that puts us at 1.5 running skirts out of 327 people, for an impressive 0.5% of participants wearing running skirts. This completely blows the other races’ running skirt percentages out of the water, so way to go Tugsed, a place that may or may not actually exist!
Miles run this week: 0
Miles run in 2010: 329

uh yeah, i meant TIGARD, but because my phone screen is broken i couldnt see that word when i texted you. sorry! but luckily when you round that up you get 1%, and i think that says something about people in tigard. maybe that people in the suburbs are lame?
Tugsed sounds like a skirt-filled paradise. I can’t wait until it exists!
I know I’m late in this conversation (and you don’t really know me) but what the hell–I feel I should mention that I rock the running skirt all the time. I’m no pro runner, but the running skirt has added a special something to the days when I actually make it out to the trail. Begone chub rub and crawling shorts! The skirt may not have the weird-factor cred of Vibram Five Fingers or the classic old-guy-in-4″-track-shorts look, but it does nice things for my ass. And I don’t even have a creepily gangly twin like the ladies in the the promo video!
Don’t be shy, any running skirt input is more than welcome, thank you!
I can’t believe I have a real live running skirt wearer commenting on my blog!!!
Update: At least 12 running skirts observed at the Whiskey Row Marathon/Half/10k yesterday in Prescott, AZ. Maybe it’s a southwest thing?
