I’ll Show You Mine: BMO Vancouver Marathon Edition

head to toe

One of the most common questions I get asked is what do I wear when I run. So I’m going to give you the run down on what I wore head to toe for the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon this past Sunday. Running attire is an incredibly personal thing, what works for me may not work for you and sometimes it’s a game of hit or miss, fingers crossed that those “misses” occur during a relatively short run during training and not in the middle a half marathon.

I’m sure almost every girl that appreciates pretty lingerie and participates in the world of running has experienced it one time or another. You get all geared up, put in your head phones and out the door you go. Ready to take on the world and conquer some mileage until…dun dun DUN,  you realize that you aren’t wearing the appropriate undergarments, things get uncomfortable, your lacy underthingys are rubbing in all the wrong places and what you once viewed as pretty decorative detailing is now a pain in your ass…literally, or in my case today, the things painfully digging into your Continue reading
