Day 2 of a Fit Christmas

Congrats to everyone who got busy in Day 1.  The random winner of the Endorphin Warrior Training Bracelet was... MARY, who hit the gym treadmill yesterday and worked on her mile splits.  Mary, please email me at runwithjess@comcast.net to claim your prize.

And now for Day 2 of a Fit Christmas, where I have a real treat for you!  It's no secret I love to have fun while I run.  I dress in costume. I wear funky socks.  I wave like crazy and talk to spectators.  And I LOVE to wear skirts when I run, especially if they S*P*A*R*K*L*E!!

I recently had the opportunity to try a SparkleSkirt for the first time.  I tested out the SparkleTech skirt, which has built-in undershorts.  This is seriously the most comfortable running skirt I've ever worn.  First of all, it's gorgeous!  The fabric quality is simply stunning.  My SparkleSkirt was a beautiful royal blue with sparkles on it.  The A-line cut of the skirt is flattering for all body types and gives the perfect amount of flair as you run.  I felt like a sassy girly while I ran... and that is a FUN feeling!

This is important... SparkleSkirts are made in the USA.

All SparkleSkirts have a handy 12" zippered compartment by the waist to store keys, an ID, energy gels, etc.  (SparkleSkirts are also versatile enough that you can wear it backwards to put the compartment in the back.)

The SparkleLight style is just that... a skirt.  You can wear it overtop leggings, capris, or by itself.  I however still have thighs that touch, so I tried the SparkleTech with built-in shorts.  I have a variety of running skirts in my drawers with "built-in compression shorts"... most in which the shorts are pointless because they are either too short or they ride up once you get running.  The undershorts in the SparkleTech are the best I've ever worn!  First off, they are extremely well made with moisture-wicking material.  You actually feel like you're being "held in" if you know what I mean.  The undershorts have a 6" inseam so they are plenty long enough even for thick thighs like mine.  SparkleSkirts guarantee these undershorts not to ride up... and after a test run, I can tell you - they don't!

 

The SparkleTech has so much storage that makes it ideal on long runs.  In addition to the front compartment by the waist, there is also a large 4x4" pocket on the outside of both thighs, perfect spot to slip my iPhone.

SparkleSkirts are available up to size 4x.  I love this fact because I believe all shapes of women deserve to feel good on the run... and SparkleSkirts do just that.! The customer service from owner Leah is outstanding.  She's super nice and passionate about her beautiful creations.  If you're looking for something unique, inquire about SparkleCostumes. The SparkleSkirt team will create a look perfect for your race... Elvis, Ariel, Cinderella or even a wedding skirt.

Now you have a chance to win one of these glorious running skirts!  So get your sweat on and then come back to tell me about it!
