WEATHER UPDATE: Rain likely, mainly before noon. Cloudy, with a high near 46. North wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Tonight I packed for my Dallas trip, and saying I am prepared is quite an understatement. I have at least 5 outfit options for the race. I will be prepared for any weather between 3o – 90 degrees. Rain or shine, wind or snow, cold or hot. Fingers crossed the weather is somewhere in the middle of those scenarios.
I named this blog miles with style for a reason – I love running, and I especially love running in cute running clothes. Below I have included photos of some of my potential outfits. As of now, the weather forecast is saying “a 50 percent chance of rain. Cloudy, with a high near 45. North northwest wind between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.” (lovely, huh?)
The options:
Outfit #1, This is my “Cold Case Scenario”. The Nike jacket is waterproof and lined, I also have a matching short sleeve Nike top to wear under it. The Nike shorts are there incase it is a warmer rain. Lulu pants are there for a colder rain. If it is a cold, windy rain as they predict, I will be wearing this outfit.
I am pretty obsessed with this jacket.
Outfit #2, This is my “Best Case Scenario”. I love this Lulu top and the capris are the most comfy things ever. If it is 45-48 and not raining, I will be wearing this outfit.
I wore this top in the 2010 KC Half Marathon.
Outfit #3, This is my “Warm Case Scenario”. Lulu skirt I ran in the Rock in Roll half and a black tank I wish I would have been wearing in the Rock in Roll half. If it is over 50, I will be wearing this outfit!
I love the bum ruffle on this skirt.
Now that you have seen the options and rationale behind each, what do you think I should wear?!
On a side note, I received some of the sweetest cards from my friends today. One of my favorites was from Lindsey. I love the front of it. It made me smile so big!!
Your good thoughts are working wonders for me, as always – keep ’em coming!
xoxo,

I’d wear the Lulu pants. Sometimes my Speed skirt bugs me on longer runs, but it is so cute! Have fun in Dallas!
it’s not a fashion show. Go practical. As I always say, “running a marathon is definitely not a beauty pageant”
This is not a fashion show, always go practical. As I always say, “running a marathon is no beauty pageant…that’s for sure”
I promise to be at the finish line with dry clothes!
