Shorts - One year later.
Can this really be my fourth post about.. running shorts? Evidently it can be.
In our last chapter, I had run Houston in compression shorts, but after that was doing all my runs in regular running shorts. I was having good luck with them, but they were "untested for 20+ milers in nasty hot, humid Texas summers".
After this summer, they have certainly been tested in those conditions. I retired most of my compression shorts, and while I do have one or two pairs still in my workout clothes drawers, I haven't worn then since the Houston marathon in January. Yay!
And now, as of the New Mexico marathon, I have successfully run a marathon in them, so I'm going to declare myself an official runner who wears running shorts. Granted I'm.. still afraid to wear any other BRAND at this point, since I've found one that I know works for me, but I'm sure I'll get past that eventually! Or not. Why bother, until they stop making the kind that work for me?
