I like my running skirts but I’ve never found a capri running skirt that’s good for more than a few miles so far!

I have one from Target, one from Reebok & one from SkirtSports. I also wear my skirts over capris & tights. But I seem to go from running to skirts & compression socks to running in tights.

Great list. I’m opposite. I never wear a baseball cap unless it’s raining and I only wear shorts or Capri’s because I don’t like the way I look in skirts!

I always wear my Road Id in races. Never had a problem with dogs but they do scare me.
