Why is it so hard for plus size women to find good exercise/running clothes? I am so completely frustrated right now because I decided I wanted a new tech top for the Princes but I can't find anything in a wicking fabric for a plus size woman for under $30. Then you add $5 -$10 shipping and tax and I have to pay $50 just to have a good shirt to run in. I have lots of sleeveless shirts that I was able to get at a local fitness boutique that had a plus size section. Unfortunately, they went out of business last fall and none of the companies(like Nike and champion) carry plus size clothes in their stores. There is a Nike outlet near here and they never have anything that I can wear in the store event though I know they make it because I have 3 Nike tank tops that I love.
The problem is that I can't wear a tank for the half because I end up chafing on the inside of my arms from the arm hole seam. That's why I always wear a t-shirt for the race. I have the shirt I wore last year but I was hoping to go with a different color for this year's race. Sorry, I know this isn't really a big deal but it is just frustrating. People tell us all the time that we need to work out and lose weight, yet no one wants to sell us reasonably priced athletic wear so that we can actually do it. Everything thing I find I either have to order on line and hope it fits the way I want or it is made of sub par materials or straight up cotton which is not fun to wear for a half marathon(I know, I did it the first year.)
Hopefully I can find something before the race.
