Does Your Bum Need a Wrap?
When I first met Sally, I was a running skirt snob…maybe a throwback to my hippie upbringing but I couldn’t understand why anyone would run in a skirt.
Extra fabric, why? Trying to look girly, why?
I was 100% shorts all the time. But, leave it to Sally to change my mind. (I’ve learned to keep my mouth zipped shut when I initially don’t vibe with a new design, because without a doubt I’ll be wearing it enthusiastically within 4 weeks. There’s a reason I’m not on the design team!)
When Sally debuted the bum wrap, my internal voice said “meh.” And maybe my external voice too! (Not much of a filter on me). But then I tried it on, and what?!? I liked it! I wore it at our first Birdcamp in Bend, OR, and at NYFW…and I loved the way I felt in it. Sporty, but more dressed up than just shorts and easy to take from a run to whatever’s next. And for those of us with a booty—hello lifting!—it fits so nice.
So try it out, and send me a pic on the socials so we can high-five the bums.
[Can’t resist this one] Don’t let your bum be bummed! Wrap it!

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.
