Since my first time slipping one of those sparkle filled skirts on I have had a secret addiction to these skirts BUT it all changed when Team Sparkle sent me a care package full of goodies. One of the great goodies was what the team calls Race Legs
Get them here!
Well,
I wasn't sure what to think of them at first. I normally run in knee socks and wear double socks. Running approved socks and then knee socks over them. This causes my feet to sweat a little more then usual but I usually just glide up my feet before I put double socks on and have no problems. Yes even when it is a monsoon rain like the Portland Half Marathon in 2010.
I wore these and at first they felt sort of odd because I was use to having my shoe feel a little tighter then normal but these made my feet feel so much better. I could breath!!!!! My feet felt lighter and my foot steps felt lighter. I even scored my self a 8 second PR. OK that isn't much but I had to walk a little over the HUGE bridge at mile 11. It was almost a climb straight up a steep hill. Ok so let me get back to the race legs..... I had so many comments like:
*OMG look at those legs they make you look so fast!
*Go crazy legs
*Rainbow Bright runner
*Clown socks (ummm no clown are red and white thank you!)
*hey lady where on earth did you get those socks i want a pair so bad!
*WOW check you out in that hot white skirt and crazy legs
*Go Half Fanatic in those crazy socks as I am crossing the finish line.
I wore them with a regular running skirt and a non (gasp) sparkle skirt. I wasn't sure what to expect so I went into the race trying my new race legs and my new singlet from the Half Fanatics group I just got into.

| race legs & Mr. P |

| secret addiction to knee socks. all worn and i wear often. |
So I must say that I love NOT like race legs almost better then regular knee socks just because I can let my feet really breath. I would recommend these to anyone who has stinky sweaty feet or anyone who runs races in hot states like Cali, Florida or even here in Maryland.
Now here are a few pictures of my races in skirts or knee socks. Now you can see my addition with this picture over load.......
