Are the pink socks made out of a moisture wicking material? I’m not brave enough to run in a race wearing cotton socks anymore. Blisters.

[...] is that most pairs of leggings are probably made in China. Or made for American Apparel, which I have mixed feelings about. That’s good enough for me. Oh, and this: leggings worn as pants MAKE MOTHER EARTH [...]

i adore this photo-really i do!
and you rock for doing the half-i can’t imagine doing it without any training!!!
and those socks are adorable
i’m on the fence with american apparel-i think they’re stuff is ridiculously overpriced, but at least its made in america, and if you need a pair of shiny gold leggings and a bandeau bra to match-what else’s a girl to do?????
i have to see you next time i’m in sf!! good luck with work!

Love the socks! While I didn’t know as much about AA as you do, in general I haven’t been a fan… their ads are weird and their clothes in general aren’t cute or worth the price… if I’m going to buy most of their clothes, it would make more sense to get them at the thrift store or something

Chocolate at mile 11? hot damn!!

You do look cute in the photo and I like the thumbs up. I don’t know much about AA I’ll have to do a bit of research but I suspect I’m too old for them anyway.

Heather, I’ll check out No Sweat! Yeah, hopefully other companies doing things right will get more attention and business, I agree!

And thanks for the compliment! I sooo did not feel cute, and could hardly walk! But it was fun – at the end you get a Tiffany necklace from a firefighter dressed in a tux, and there is chocolate at mile 11.

Well, if there was someone who hypothetically didn’t train for a half marathon, at least they can say they looked cute while doing it

I’m with you on AA. I think Dov Charney is a sexist perv, their models lack diversity, they apparently don’t know how to do an ad without a “sexy” look, and did I mention Dov Charney is gross? But sometimes you can’t avoid them, sadly. A lot of companies and/or bands I like use them for their shirts, but slowly other sweatshop-free and eco-friendly companies are coming up and I hope they get the recognition they need. (FYI: I like No Sweat! They don’t have as many options as AA, but they have great products and customer service.)
