How did we get our start? After knowing each other for many years, we began running together as we both had a common goal of better health, weight management, and completing our first half marathon. Little did we know what lie ahead of us: chaffing, blisters, loss of toenails, calf strains, and other ailments to remain undisclosed. If we were going to continue to endure these discomforts, we thought our running apparel should at least improve the way we looked and felt; thus the birth of Running Princess. After earning our very first half marathon finisher's medal, we were hooked. Since then, we have completed a full marathon and Vi just earned her first Half Iron Man's medal! Now our goal is to encourage other women to get moving and reach within themselves for that undiscovered athlete.

Now that we've shared a little of our story, we would love to hear from you. What goals have you set or accomplished? How has running changed your life? Send us an Email and we will post your story on our website so that you can be an encouragement to others.

"I just wanted to thank you again for creating such a fantastic line of running apparel for women! Your story, web, and products are a testament to the inner princess we all are! I recently purchased your hat at the Disney Marathon Expo and I LOVE it! It was my first marathon and I had been looking for a special something to wear that day! I gladly tossed aside my usual hat to sport one that conveyed what I was feeling inside. In fact, we ran into each other at the start and you took my picture. Thank you again! I look forward to wearing it on many more runs!!"

"I met you guys when I went to Orlando to do the Disney Goofy. I had on the Nike+ half marathon shirt. Up until that point, I had run just to run for myself. No one but my Mom understood why I would run for hours on end. I just lost my "Prince Charming" of 5 years to another younger girl, so running was all I seemed to have left. I needed to focus my thoughts somewhere else. When I read your saying on the back of the shirt I bought, it made my day. It was everything I needed. I ran both of my races with a new motivation. The finish line will always be there, it'll never let me down. It is truly my Prince Charming, and my finish line is my happily ever after. I have a new way at looking at running. I wear my princess gear all the time. I bought Minnie ears with the crown and "princess" on it. I am getting a princess necklace to wear when I am at work. Since meeting you ladies, I have decided my next challenge is to qualify for Boston, and every finish line between here and there is my happily ever after!! I am a Princess, and for once it is all about me!"
