Sorry, I couldn't resist. Our Sisters have attracted loads of attention because we run in the habit . . . we wouldn't run in anything else! To answer the questions of the curious, yes, it works. When it's hot, we sweat, and the long, damp, white dress keeps us cool. And yes, we wear real running shoes! I'm not in these running pictures, but I do have a line in the article. And any StyleXplorers who are in New Hampshire on Labor Day, consider running our race!
