Skirts

I think the running skirt I bought was made for either A) people who don't actually run in them or B) people with no thighs.
I had a feeling this one wasn't going to work out too well for me. The skirt part is fine - it's the shorts underneath that are not. They are too loose and at a weird length...and given the fact that I do, in fact, have thighs - this created a fashion disaster. My hand was basically up my skirt the whole 4 miles trying to stop the skirt from riding up. And the more I sweat - the harder it was to pull them down.
So now I know this will just not work.
My new sneakers, on the other hand, are awesome! I didn't get the same pair I had been running in but I got ones that are very similar just a little lighter. I'm getting the back of the left ankle bleed but that will go away once they're broken in a bit. I remember my last pair having bloody socks for about 2 weeks straight.
About 16.5 weeks to go. I'm feeling quite nervous. I'm sticking to my schedule...I'm eating well. I'm not in self-sabotage mode. But this is a huge thing to attempt to tackle - and I have a major fear of failure.
I've been slacking off with writing, I know. Don't worry - as the training gets harder - and November 7th gets closer - you'll be hearing a whole lot of potty mouth from me. I promise.
