Finding the Right Running Gear

For a while now I've been looking for a tank to wear for runs and gym workouts that is body skimming but not too tight. It's been a long search because everything I find is super clingy and does not look good on my body. So, back a few weeks ago when Grace and I went to the NYC Running Show, I was on the hunt.

I tried on a top from Adidas that Grace has and loves. Didn't work for me. The few others I saw were not what I was looking for. Then, we hit the Zensah booth. You know, the company known for their compression socks. Well, turns out not only do they have socks, arm warmers and sjports bras, they also have racerback tanks for women!!

The fabric was so light and soft, and seems loose enough, so I tried one on. And fell in love.

It seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Body skimming but not too tight. Lightweight, moisture wicking fabric and a longer length so it won't have to fuss with pulling it down when running. I had to buy it. At $44.00, it was a little bit pricey, but it worked out well with the discounts I had at the show!


Okay, so I don't take great pictures, especially first thing in the morning, but trust me, this top is cute and comfortable. I can't wait to wear it out for a run...once I'm running again!
