That being said, I rarely have to switch from shorts, even during the winter so my experience is limited.<br /><br />I am not really much of a music listener when running anymore.

I have Athleta leggings and Victoria Secret leggings that have held up well. The latter I bought when a day trip turned into an overnight and I had to buy something I could sleep in and wear home the next day. ;-) Courtenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878882500026678616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-52833651000826230612020-11-01T14:20:04.461-05:002020-11-01T14:20:04.461-05:00I know what you mean about the treadmill.
