I'm so excited about my collaboration with Run For Your Life. If you run in Charlotte, more likely than not, you are familiar with the store. I have always purchased my running shoes from their store, possibly because of the close proximity to my home. Or perhaps, it is because I worked with the company on races they helped facilitate and sponsor way back when I worked in not for profit. It's fair to say the main reason I continued to buy my shoes there was because of their knowledge and expertise, but above all, for their excellent customer service. In Run For Your Life's case, you get it all. I was more eager than ever to get back into shape after Precious Peanut #2 was born, and after a tip from one of my husband's co-workers, I contacted the store about joining a training group. On a personal note, it turned out to be one of the best things that's happened to me in a long time. It was like being reunited with an old friend (running) and making some new friends in the process. I have so much enjoyed my reunion with running and my connection with Run For Your Life that I reached out to them about collaborating for this series on runner fashion. I mean, we all work so hard to not only look but feel good in our clothes. Why not want the same while exercising?

A running dress you say?? It's not something I've worn before, but I REALLY like this dress! It's easy to move in, and it's comfortable. Not to mention it would be perfect for tennis or even golf! I kinda feel like it's time to set a new trend. Do any of you own a running dress?
Here's a peak at tomorrow's fashion interpretation of the running dress!
For the love of running in comfort and style, thanks for reading! Whitley

I just ran my first 5K and all I could think about the entire race was how much I wished I would have bought a running dress!
ReplyDeleteNext time!! Go for it!
DeleteThat would be perfect for tennis...and since I'm thinking about doing some playing, I may have to look into one...
ReplyDeleteTotally multi-functional.
DeleteLove that! So I guess you wear shorts underneath? I have a running skirt but never tried a dress...I may just have to venture out!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am wearing a pair of running shorts underneath. You could probably use your tennis undies too! ;) I'm really really loving this.
DeleteWhat a fabulous dress! You are definitely the most stylish runner around! You are right, that dress would be adorable for tennis too!

Hello!!! Thank you so much for this, and thank you for taking the time to comment. How did you find me?? Heading over to see you now, and I totally agree on the meet up ;)
DeleteAn awesome dress to run my tri in in September! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! Seriously, I love this dress!!!
DeleteLOVE running. L-O-V-E Charlotte and wish that I still lived there. LOVE and covet Chanel. However, I can't get with the running dress. Just not my thing. I do love your blog though and wish you the best on your promotion. I know that some women swear by the running dresses and skirts. I know this will be a good one for you! I'd love it if you'd follow me back. Think about it... http://chatonsworld.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteChaton,
DeleteThank you so much for taking the time to post! AND, I appreciate that you are sharing your opinions on the running dress. I have not ever run in a skirt or dress, but I think that may all change with this dress. I guess it is because, while I may be sporty, I am still a girly girl! I also like anything unique. I've never seen anyone run in a dress, so that might another reason why I'm loving this so. Heading to visit you now!
The running dress is so great! I've never run in a dress but have played tennis in one so it's kinda like the same thing. I think it's great that you joined a running group. Maybe I should consider something like that. You're in amazing shape and especially after 2 peanuts ;)

Thanks girl. A LOT changed after baby boo #2 was born. I stopped operating my business and became a full time stay at home mom. I looked to running as an outlet after a long break. I'm so glad I was reacquainted with this old friend!!
DeleteI do not own a running dress, but this is REALLY COOL! :) Looks comfy and perfect for tennis or golf! I like it! :) AND whoot whoot for the IT List! It is a good time :)
ReplyDeleteYou live in Charlotte? One of my best girlfriends moved there a year and a half ago! I visited her last summer, love it there!
Hi Rachel!
DeleteThank you for this!! This was my first time wearing a running dress, myself, and I really love it... really is multi-functional. Yes, I live in Charlotte. Do you know where your friend lives?
i do not own one, but i love the look! and also, you have definitely gotten back into shape after babies...you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Really, I am loving this dress. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I hope to see you again soon!

Hi Kacie! Thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to share them! Heading to visit you now!
DeleteOh wow that running dress puts my workout clothes to shame. I training for a marathon and I never look that cute! This is good inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay. This was my first time wearing a running dress. I've also never worn a skirt, but I am totally loving the dress.
DeleteGiirrrlll....when I go running, I do not look this cute....between all the huffing and puffing (and heart attacks) I look like a puffy red mess...I tip my hat to you....

Linda, you are too funny saying that. I am with you on the huffing and puffing... only this time it's in a cute little dress ;). Thanks for the kind words! Have a great weekend!
