Thanks for this series of posts! They were great. My running story is pretty similar to yours– I really started running during college (graduated in May) and actually just ran my first road race at the beginning of May (just a 12K). My favorite pair of Athleta running shorts are about worn out and I need to upgrade… do you have any particular favorite style of Nike shorts?

Glad to hear you like Asics! My GT 2130′s have been so good to me!

Great post! I'm running my very first half marathon this weekend (!!!). I've never tried the skort, but I may have to! I probably won't get to read your next post before the race, but I look forward to hearing your opinions on nutrition (i.e. running with water and gu, both of which I'm still trying to get used t0).

great post! i just started running (like a week ago…) and i couldn’t agree more with the shoe comments. i tried many times to enjoy running in the past, always using crummy shoes, and could never do it. went to go get fitted for shoes professionally and they make all the difference. it feels entirely different to run in them and my body doesn’t hate me afterwards.

I adore the running skort! I have two and they are my favorite workout outfits! I am on the hunt for at least one more (black or gray).

Great tips! I’m a runner too and I love the skirt! I have a nike one and I found one at Target – super comfy and cute.

Thank you for this post! I am easing (veeeery, veeeery slowly) into running (more like jogging - or maybe really, really fast/bouncy walking would be a more apt description) and I love your tips! I'm also training for the 60 mile 3 Day in November and, while walking long distances is different than running them, the wool sock recs and the upcoming nutrition posts! Btw - I have a New Balance running skort and I LOVE IT! kate’s most recent blog post: gimme, gimme
