I dillydallyed for a year before i bought one (walked out of the W&D Expo in tears because i didn't fit the size i thought i should) but because this body is going to do it's first half marathon i bought one in time to train in it before the SWDS. I LOVE my sparkleskirt, pockets for fuel and chapstick and tissues and my phone and keys. it's really pretty, it doesn't ride up, my thighs aren't rubbing AND it's made in America. I'll pay premium prices for premium products made just down the street (or in this case I95) by my neighbors.
