Here it is - the possible running gear for the ladies for the SOB 50K. Brooks Girl Power T (sky), use your imagination a bit for the Brooks Epiphany Skort (Mediterranean), and the CWO HeadSweats Visor.

Love the shirt. The sleeves are short, but they are a bit longer than the average short-sleeve women’s running shirt. For me - a good thing. On long distance runs, I tend to get hot spots on my underarm where the seam hits my armpit/triceps, but with this shirt – no burn and it means a little more sun protection too.

The skirt, I’m excited and nervous about. I have to admit, I haven’t actually run in a skirt yet. I have a biking skirt that I love – the Cruiser Bike Girl from Skirt Sports. I do have a running skirt, but it is short and it just hasn’t been quite warm enough to test it out yet.

The HeadSweats Visor rocks. I’ve been wearing it for almost every run I’ve done the past few months. I got annoyed with my sweat collecting, always steaming up sunglasses a while back. This visor wicks the sweat away preventing it from dripping in my eyes, and is so comfortable with the soft elastic headband, I forget I have it on while I’m running. I’ve also washed it about once a week – so maybe 10 washes now – and it still looks brand new (and smells like flowers).
Comfortable, stylish, and it all performs. SOB 50K, here come the ladies of CWO!!
