In fact, we signed up for a 5k together last year, and I trained diligently for 2 months, and he didn't do anything. I steared us towards the back of the starting line, and told him to go slow. When the race started, bam he was off. He finished faster than me, doh. But, his legs hurt for quite some time afterwards and I was just fine, so hahaha.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for an outfit for kayaking, can I recommend an awesome hijabi swimsuit? I think I blogged about it awhile back - www.splashgearusa.com - it's lightweight and dries really quickly. I have one that I wear swimming at the Y, and I *heart* it.<BR/><BR/>Maybe in a few months I will take you up on your running offer inshaAllah.

I used to ...Assalaamu Alaykum!<BR/><BR/>What a great outfit! I used to run a lot in high school at a female healthclub, and haven't done it for *awhile* ;) I'd love to get running again, especially with the weather turning nice, and I'd really prefer to run outdoors. This sort of outfit looks just right. It would work for kayaking, too, which is always a challenge as a hijabi...especially because you need non-cumbersome clothes that dry fast (in case you fall in!)<BR/><BR/>Glad to find your blog! If you're ever looking for a Minneapolis running friend, drop me line! Although I'm sloooow. My husband walks as fast as I run. ;)<BR/><BR/>(Found your blog off your UmmahMuslimah.net profile.)Salihah סליחה صالحهhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559110607634228346noreply@blogger.com
