If you're like Reese and you like to run to blow off a little steam, you're not alone. Women are picking up the slack when it comes to running as a healthy past time.

There was a time when running was a man's work out choice and women would just hit the ellipticals or the local Curves. That time has since passed and woman are pulling ahead in the running trends. The National Sporting Goods Association reported:

...that the number of female casual runners rose by 13.6 percent between 1999 and 2004, outpacing their male counterparts by 6 percent.

This means that corporations, like Nike and New Balance are going to start focusing more on women when creating their gear and campaigns. Say goodbye to plain white sneakers and hello to bedazzled pink ones. You go girls!
