Are shorts the only option?
To disable ads, please log-in.
I've just started running and so far have mostly been running in sweatpants, since most of my running has been on a treadmill, or in cool weather outside.
However, now it's getting warmer, I need something cooler to wear. I have VERY pale skin and burn in minutes. It's pretty easy to find warm weather long sleeve tops, but as far as I can tell, the only options for bottoms are short shorts (I haven't seen anything with less than a 5" inseam).
Are there there any non-shorts option for running in warmer weather - and want something light, loose and at least knee length, but preferably ankle length.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Run in the very very early morning (7am) is my solution...

Capris are an option. Or go to the thrift shop, get a pair of the nylon wind pants (unlined), cut them off to a little longer than knee length, and hem them. Then you've got knee-length shorts.
