Me & Sally from Oiselle circa 2009. Finally meeting in person.
Two fast things before I get to my love of the Rundies.
First: this isnt a sponsored post. my love for Sally & for Oiselle is priceless.
Second: this shall veer off into sentimentalnessment. Ive not yet written the post. I already recognize that fact. my love for Sally & Oiselle is fraught with the sentimental.
Onward.
Ive blogged for eons. Over ten years. Ive been loved by brands when I was at my peak. Ive been ignored by brands when they thought my platform wasnt ‘worthy.’
It’s the nature of the blog-beast and, in my opinion, of business in general.
That said, there are always a few brands who love you when youre little and stick by you through the growing pains.
Oiselle is one such brand.
Three years ago Sally reached out to me with an idea. She wanted to give away a sports bra to EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED on a post.
Last year Sally reached out to me again and wanted to send a TANK TOP to everyone who commented on a post.
And, most importantly, those two acts of uber-generosity/love for our tribe arent even a sliver of the reason I ADORE Sally & Oiselle.
She’s supportive. She’s created an amazing brand which encourages women & running unbelievably. She’s unflaggingly & unfailingly positive.
Which brings me to my RUNDIES—which I positively love.
They’re a quirky, newly-created Oiselle item which are described perfectly on the website
You have your underwear. And you have your running. Now you can have them both in Oiselle’s all new day-of-the-week underwear: Rundies!
I know, right?
Even this Runs-Like-Old-Shuffling-Gazelle wanted her a set & not only because she hoped their phrases of rest, track, tempo, easy 6, fartlek, race, & long run would motivate her to GET OUT THERE and DO IT!
And so I gots me some.
They remind me of my days-of-the-week undies from childhood.
They remind me there’s always room in life (& my pants/shorts) for a little levity.
They remind me Im a runner (even if I am wearing Easy 6 under a pantsuit). **
You know you want a set too. PLEASE TO CLICK MY BOOTY.
And yeah, when Ren Man took the photo above it reminded me I am very happy with my career choice as NOT a model & how I really must LOVE Sally to proffer my booty to demonstrate her wares.
Please to support Sally. And, by default, my booty.

josha says

Hilary says
October 21, 2011 at 8:41 amI have to say this is probably the first time I’ve ever read the words “please to click my booty.” 😉
Sarah says
October 21, 2011 at 8:47 amYes!
My 39th birthday is soon!

Geosomin says

You are brave. I would not be putting my booty on the interwebs. 🙂
Heathy Mama says
October 21, 2011 at 9:08 amI’m going to order.
What size did you get Miz?
MizFit says
October 21, 2011 at 9:31 amMEDIUM. My booty is bigger than it appears (if it appears not bootylicious that is :)) AND I love putting everything in the dryer on HOTHOT.
shannon says
October 21, 2011 at 9:35 amHa. This is awesome. Click your booty, indeed 😛
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
October 21, 2011 at 9:40 amI have been looking for running underwear FOR.EV.ER. People thought I was nuts to even ask such a question. Dude. DUUUUUUDE. I clicked your booty. I iz in need, yo.
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
October 21, 2011 at 9:41 amUm, I’m in need of the undies, not your booty. Ahem.
But? I need you! Just, um.. okay.. shutting up now… *foot in mouth*
MizFit says
October 21, 2011 at 9:41 amand the word works because I read your comment, Lisa, as RUNDERWEAR.
mary ellen says

misszippy1 says

Erin says
October 21, 2011 at 12:01 pmOk don’t take this the wrong way but what a cute tushie! Can you believe that all I wear are thongs, yes even when I workout lol!
Roz@weightingfor50 says
October 21, 2011 at 12:30 pmI don’t run, but I do wear undies and workout…so I know I’d love these. At the risk of sounding very inappropriate, you have a nice bum!! VERY click worthy! 🙂 Have a good Friday.
Pat says
October 21, 2011 at 12:32 pmI love your creativity.
Model-bumbum for sure 😉
I’m getting these for myself for Hanukkah!
charlotte says
October 21, 2011 at 1:30 pmYou make a fab underwear model!! And I love Oiselle’s rundies – such a fun idea. Sally is always coming up with quirky ways to incorporate running into a whole lifestyle – how much do I love her running wedding dress?!
Christy says
October 21, 2011 at 2:19 pmWow they have been so generous! I love the Rundies and am thinking I need to get some! Nice booty btw and how freaking brave to post that picture, I am not so brave!

October 21, 2011 at 8:00 pmNice! I*MUST* have those! Ican’t think of any underwear that says, no SCREAMS, Fitness Cheerleader more than those. Thanks for sharing your booty with us!
Katie says
October 21, 2011 at 8:11 pmI got that tank top and I LOVE it! I can’t believe you posted your hot booty on the world wide web. You are GUTSY.
Elizabeth J. says
October 21, 2011 at 8:26 pmToo cute! Sounds like a great company too.
Kat says
October 22, 2011 at 7:44 amLongtime lurker but had to comment on these…I need every ounce of motivation I can muster sometimes when it comes to my running and training! The good thing? Only one pair that says “rest!” I wouldn’t wear the “rest” undies two days in a row (or would I?) so bring on the training! Ha!
Alycia says
October 22, 2011 at 8:09 amThey look awesome! I can totally see where they would be so comfy while running!
Karen@WaistingTime says
October 22, 2011 at 11:39 amToo cute:) And, 10 years!!! I didn’t even know blogs existed that long ago.
