I can't run in shorts and I will NEVER run in just a sports bra. No thank you. I'm self conscious enough about my running to add that "stuff" to the mix. And about the girls with short shorts. I was one of those moms that told my young daughter to not even think about wearing shorts THAT SHORT. And then yesterday, I noticed that the shorts she was wearing, ones I bought for her, were that short. But they look super cute with her dancer legs. If I had legs like that, Hell, I'd be wearing those shorts. They are long enough that they are still appropriate. Come on - she's 11. :)Lara @ Uptite Mamashttp://www.uptitemamas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-83077392801908612802015-07-17T23:39:44.153-05:002015-07-17T23:39:44.153-05:00Love this!!!

They ride up and show half of my butt and the longer in seams are super uncomfortable. And I totally agree with getting good bras to strap the girls down. I just started running again and that is one thing that I didn't mind spending money on.

I do not, nor have I ever had large breasts. I am as flat chested as the come! It was not about showing anything because there is nothing to show off. It was strictly comfort. Now that I am a little older, I no longer wear just a bra while I am at the gym (too much close proximity to people!), but I do when I am running outside and it is really hot. When I'm outside, I feel like I'm in my own little world and it doesn't bother me like it does when I am at the gym and working out right beside people.Megan @ Meg Go Runhttp://www.meggorun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-4519572474220079712015-07-16T21:13:29.768-05:002015-07-16T21:13:29.768-05:00You will never ever see me outside running without...You will never ever see me outside running without a shirt on !

I once saw someone criticize a woman who was running in just her sports bra when she complained about getting unwanted cat calls and whistles. They said she was bringing it on herself. And it's true that wearing less clothing can illicit an unwanted response. But I'm not sure that means you wouldn't be able to wear what you want.... as long as it doesn't cross the line of indecency.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-19406071755110174342015-07-16T16:00:24.088-05:002015-07-16T16:00:24.088-05:00It's one of the reasons why I stick to black o...It's one of the reasons why I stick to black on the bottom!

GAH! I don't need to see that, lol! Cover that up for sure! I'm pretty modest about what I wear when I workout. In fact now that I even have a treadmill I was thinking when I was one it that I was so hot, I should just wear my sports bra. But I just couldn't do it! Even in my own house! Sad, isn't it?
