I have great news for all you girls who love to run. You can feel good AND look good while you run. SkirtSports is the company responsible for bringing femininity to the sport of running through the creation of the original fitness skirt in 2005. I’m not sure where I’ve been hiding because I didn’t know running skirts existed until last year when my mom showed me hers. Since then my interest has piqued. It is no wonder that SkirtSports is turning heads in the fitness community. These fabulous fitness skirts are the brainchild of triathlete champion Nicole DeBoom. The fact that they are created “by women and for women” is evident in the design details.
Ready for more great news? SkirtSports is giving one “mother/daughter” team a Skirt of her very own. Mom (or grandma, aunt, big sister, mentor…) will receive the GymGirl Classic and daughter (or granddaughter, niece, little sister, mentoree…) will receive a Girl Skirt (sizes 2T to girls size 8).
Skirts come in many styles. Some are sport specific (thriathlon, cycling, tennis, golf) and others are for the more casual athlete. The GymGirl Classic is the best selling and most versatile Skirt. It’s design includes built-in shorts (long legged) and pockets on the side of each leg. The pockets even have buttonholes for threading your headphone cord.
Both the GymGirl Classic and the Girl Skirt are made with lightweight performance fabric. The Girl Skirt has a built-in spankie and a drawstring elastic waistband for the right fit on those little waists.
In addition to the giveaway SkirtSports is offering 10% off any on-line purchases made at www.skirtsports.com. Use the discount code: KRISTENM. (Offer expires 8/31/08)
Win It! To enter the “mother/daughter” Skirt giveaway simply leave a comment telling me one of two things: (1) who you are entering for or (2) your favorite Skirt or Skirt feature. The giveaway will end at 5p.m. on Sunday, August 31st. I will notify the winner via email.
One thing is certain…empowered girls should look as good as they feel! Speaking of empowered girls, don’t forget to enter my other giveaway for the book We Are Girls Who Love to Run

It motivates me to work out to look good while doing it! My favorite features are absolutely the iPod headphone buttonhole and built-in compression shorts. I won’t even buy shorts without that.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am entering for my daughter n law who is a runner. She would love this.
I’m entering for my daughter. She wants to take track this year in school. She’s a good runner. Great stamina.
I love that the design of the skirt and the fact they have other great clothing on their site (not just skirts).
I would LOVE this for myself. I am working on losing weight, and buidling up to running in a race, so this would be FANTASTIC. I would get one for my daughter as well. She’s 6.

I’m entering for myself and my daughter.
I like the they are not flaired but are slim cut. It’s more flattering and slimming. I also like that they have pockets. So many running shorts don’t.
Well it’d be a walking & general usage skirt for me, but great idea! My favorite feature is that it’s a wicking material. Too many exercise pants are cotton and get soggy from sweat.
I love these! For my daughter and I…I’d love to start running with her…she’s so fast and can’t wait to start track and field!
I love the GymGirl Ultra… it’s so cool that it has a music port built into the skirt. There is never a good place for my ipod but that skirt solves the problem!
ohh, i love my running skirts! probably the best thing ever.
Oh – I love that they have pockets so we could use them for tennis also!
I love the color of these skirts. Pink is my all time favorite as well as my daughters. The fact that this skirt has pockets is also a plus for me.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
I would love to have a matching set for me and my daughter. Love the built-in spankies!
Honestly, this is my favorite running skirt! I have 2 already. I’d love to have this for me and my daughter (when she is finally big enough to wear it…she’s only 10 months old). We’ll make a runner out of her yet!
I want to win this for myself and my niece. I recently took up jogging. I started off walking, lost some weight, now I’m in the jogging phase of my fitness. My long baggy work out pants still make me feel overweight. I think these will help me feel better about myself.
My favorite item is the GymGirl Ultra especially because each legs has a pocket.
I love my classic skirt so much that I’ve worn it out from wearing it too much. I’d love to have a replacement for me and one for my daughter, who has just discovered the joys of running.
I’d love to win for my daughter and I. I appreciate the overall design and the color selection is pretty good, too.

I love that the skirt has a pocket. So often running shorts don’t have them and I am always looking for one.
I’m entering this for my friend. She has a daughter that’s almost 5, who would love this. Plus, my friend is a workout queen. Would be fun for them! Thanks for a great giveaway.
My daughter and I were just saying we’d like to have a matching outfit! And since I go to the gym most days, we’d be able to match each other.
I am entering for me and my daughter. I love the built in pockets!
I am entering for myself and my daughter who will be 6 on 8/21.
I’m entering for myself and a niece – and my favorite thing about the skirts is the colors. Great giveaway – thanks!
I’m a runner and I would love to win this, even though I don’t have a little girl- I’d probably gift the small one to a friend.
I love that these look so much better than the old shorts I run in!
I’d love to enter this for me & my daughter! These skirts are just too cute for words!
my daughter and I…love the pockets

This is for me and my baby girls–AND I just starting running and this skirt would help me feel like I look better than I really do!
I would love to win these for me and my niece. I love how they are shorts and skirts together, and that they are flexible material. =)
I would love these skirts for my daughter and myself! We do a lot of biking and the hidden pocket sounds awesome!
I would love to win these for my daughter and myself! I love them because they make your legs look better than shorts.
i hope to win these for me and my sister who run many times throughout the week they would be so great to have!
The pockets are very useful! I also think that they are adorable! Thank you for the giveaway!:)
I would LOVE this skirt. Main reason? Shorts ride up between the legs. Yuck-o. The running skirts don’t. So much better!
Thanks for the contest.
i would love them for my daughter and me! wouldn’t we look cute in matching running skirts on the exercise track!
I am enterinh for myself and my daughter.
i like the pocket feature where you can loop your sell phone thru.
I’d like them for me and my daughter to wear together. I like how they are more feminine than some work out gear. Thanks!
I’m entering for my best friend and her daughter! I love the built-in shorts! Thank you so much!

I’d love these for my daughter and I. We currently walk together since she’s only 4 but running is right around the bend. Thanks.

I could so use this. Getting back into running and got some new shoes today. This skirt would be great for me and my 5 yo would so love to dress like her momma. Thanks!
I love these! Would love to have it for my niece and grand niece!
I’m entering for me and my daughters until I can think of someone else…we aren’t runners but I’ve always wanted to be, and maybe this will inspire me.
I like that it has shorts with pockets built in. I would use the big girl’s skirt and give the little one to a friend’s daughter.
If I win, my daughter and I can be matchy matchy! Thanks for the giveaway.
For myself and my niece! Thanks for the chance!
I am entering for my adult daughter and a 5 year old family friend. Thanks!
I would love one for myself and my niece! (I have 2 sons!). I like the pockets…I never know what to do with my keys when I’m running! Once at a 5K I got some random lady to hold them for me b/c she looked trustworthy!

I will be entering for my sister and her daughter as my daughter is all grown up.
I am entering for myself and my daughter.
I’d like to win for me and my daughter. My daughter is such a girly girl and she always asks me to wear more skirts/dresses. This would be a treat for her, me not only wearing a skirt, but one that matches hers too.
Thanks,
I love that these are stylish, and have the shorts built right in. Cute too!
I would love to win this for me and my daughter!!!
