I realize this might be a questionable blog topic, but I thought I’d throw it out there.

I love this underwear.

It’s one of those ‘one size fits all’ deals, and I’ll admit I was skeptical.  I may be fit, but I’m no size 2.  While I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort level, I’m not sure I agree with one size fitting ALL.  Or at least certainly not fitting all WELL.

Pretty sure I found them in a magazine, and after getting a coupon around Christmas time (this is a very belated post), I ordered a couple. I reserve them for when I’m working out and don’t want super visible panty lines, and I think they do a good job. The material is very thin with virtually no seams.

At $12 a pop online, they certainly aren’t cheap, but there are deals to be had.  I’m pretty sure I got 3 for $30 or something like that.

 

*Disclaimer: Under Armour doesn’t have the slightest idea I own these panties, or that I have a blog, or that I’m raving about them online.

 

Bravin’ the weather

I finally ran outside this morning.

We got a dusting of snow overnight, so I was a little anxious about my footing. I think it’s going to take a season if running in the snow to really get used to it.
I was excited to wear my newest piece of running gear, my Under Armor tights.

Last time I ran outside, my poor legs were still cold in the shower after (boy is that a weird feeling–warm water on cold legs!),so I announced to Andrew that maybe some thicker running pants were in order. You know, since we live in Buffalo now.

Look! New laces!

These trail runners came with long, thin, round laces and they didn’t stay tied very well, so I used this as an opportunity to brighten them up. LOVE the result!

And man am I glad I had I had those shoes! For about half my run I was on snow-covered sidewalk, which felt a little like running in sand, so I was thankful for a little traction. I can’t imagine running in my regular shoes…I would have been sliding all over the place! That, and the slush would all but destroy them in a few short runs, so I’m really happy I ended up with these.

Verdict on the tights: my legs were definitely a bit warmer, during and after the run, but it also wasn’t completely frigid outside. I think a colder morning will have to determine their “cold gear” abilities, but I’m happy for an additional pair regardless.

Happy winter running, all!
