I’m guessing this is sarcasm.

A “How to” Guide for Running a Denim-Themed Race
Today’s post is a guide on how to prepare for and run a in denim-themed race. The Inaugural Wingate Jorts Mile is being used as an exemplar because 1) it was INCREDIBLE and 2) someone…ahem… got her hands on a few more photos from the event!
Thanks SO MUCH to my new friends at Wingate University.
I love you all more than you know!

Jean jogging submission from my sister!
I received the following three texts in succession while my sister was preparing to run the Fort Worth Jingle Bell Run on December 1, 2012.
Omy gosh the first time I have ever seen someone in jeans at a race. She was wearing a bib!!! I couldn’t get her from the front because I didn’t want to get busted taking her pic!!!
Ha ha ok apparently this is more of a “fun run” that I thought. This guy in jeans too!!!
Ok, I quit now, everybody is freakin in jeans and it is 85 degrees here! So ridiculous!!!!
Another denim jackpot race. Clearly.
Before I give you all the details about my sister’s blog, I need a favor. After you clickity click on over there and read a few posts, please DO NOT leave comments like, “Hey, I found you through your sister’s awesome jogging in jeans site.” or “How great is it having JoggingJeans.com’s creator as a sister?”
Wanna know why?
Because unlike my sister who is very open and sharing of her online presence, I am quiet about mine. In fact, there are only a handful of people from my real life that know that I have this site.
You: Why, Jill? You are awesome and crack me up with your exercising in denim photos and commentary. Don’t be ashamed.
Me: Aww…this is why I love you. But most people do not share our weird sense of humor. Most people don‘t get the same joy that we do from viewing pictures of awesome/ridiculous people exercising in jeans.
You: No!
Me: Yes!
So if you mention “sister” and JoggingJeans.com in a comment on her site, my mom will be calling me, “Tsk, tsk, don’t you have better things to do with your spare time?” And at the next wedding or funeral I attend, it is guaranteed that uncles and cousins will be all, “[arm nudge] Jog in any jeans lately? Harhar!” Some will silently wonder to themselves, “What is wrong with that girl?” Others will ask, “What does your husband think of your who-knows-how-many boyfriends?” And I’ll have to politely laugh and try to explain….[ugh] just don’t make me go there. Please.
With that said, my beautiful sister’s name is Lea. Her blog is Running for Dummies. Unlike me, she is a “real” runner. Unlike me, she is a fabulous writer. And she recently opened herself up in a way that is just amazing and really brave – I’m super proud of her.

The most awesome/ridiculous denim-running pictures we’ve seen so far
Happy New Year!! My 12 days off work, 12 days of unrestrained junk-food eating, ten days without mascara, four full days completely unplugged, six days with <20 minutes of internet/phone, and hours of relaxing and working out were WONDERFUL. But, I’m glad to be back – I’ve missed all of you.
I thought that a good way to start off 2013 would be to share with you some of the most awesome/ridiculous (depending on your camp) denim-running pictures we’ve seen so far here at JoggingJeans.com:
- Running and chugging a beer in jorts
- A mid-run flying jump kick in jorts
- Running in denim overalls
- Jorts, a denim vest, and homemade denim calf sleeves (made from the sleeves of said vest)
- Running in jeans with high heels
- A jean thong running outfit (yeah, it IS possible)
- A jean-jogging cutie couple and an even cuter jort-jogging couple
- 1970′s running apparel (warning: REALLY tight and skimpy denim shorts)
- A jean-wearing runner captured on Google Street View
- An entire 5K where everyone wore jorts
- A guy in his underwear surrounded by jort-wearing runner friends
- A jeans and barefoot runner running a 4:30 mile (!)
- An Olympian (Nick Symmonds) in jorts
- A running celebrity (Jeff Galloway) in jeans
- Other celebrities running in denim: Andy Warhol, Camila Alves, Joe Frazier, Miley Cyrus, Bret Michaels, Gary Barlow, Ellen Pompeo, Will Power
I look forward to what 2013 will bring!

Great jeans-in-the-gym Tweet and photo
I have to admit, I’m terrified to take pictures of people in jeans at my gym. My gym is a hardcore lifting gym and it would be very easy for the muscle-bound, grunting, sweating dude carrying around his gallon milk jug filled with water* to pound me to smitherines if he caught me doing it. I know that I certainly don’t have the stealth skills to pull it off. Calm and cool? Nope. I’d be awkward and nervous. And most certainly, I’d get busted.
However, if I could get a shot like THIS one, I’d totally be on it:
But know that when I do see people working out in jeans, I first smirk or giggle or shake my head (depending on the person). Then I imagine myself taking a picture, write a hypothetical post about it, and then lovingly think of all of you. That has to count for something, right?
* I am really annoyed by guys that do this. Also, the word “jug” is not used nearly enough (and I don’t mean in the “Look at the jugs on her!” sense, Guys).
