I, too, have the rubbing thigh issue, so I prefer any type of compression or "tights" but short. This year I found TONS of long tights or capri's, but hard time finding shorts (tight/compression). I ran my marathon in my favorite one...but they are falling apart between the thighs (all that friction!). I don't want a skort/running skirt. Just some good ole shorts that can handle the "rub".
