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 ( Read more... )

Wow! So are you happier in running shorts? I'm still afraid of switching. And I can't actually come up with a compelling reason to switch. What was your reason? I can't remember.

I am happier in running shorts. For a variety of reasons, most of which are very silly.

- I actually chafe less, and in less weird places.
- Colors! I have red shorts and lime green shorts and purple shorts..
- I can wear shirts that I couldn't bring myself to wear with compression shorts (because of the sausage effect), and I'm MUCH more likely to be okay with running in just a sports bra (even if I haven't yet).
- Cooler, better ventilated (not like wearing a sweaty leotard for hours).
