This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Soffe. All opinions are 100% mine.
I was recently contacted by someone from Soffe to try their fitness gear. Immediately the name of the company caught my eye. I knew I remembered it from somewhere… but where?!
Then it hit me with a flood of warm fuzzies deep down in my tiny lil black heart soul. I used to wear Soffe gear when I was a cheerleader!
I remember the company name from the tag on my cheer shorts from the summer before sixth grade. I just made the squad and was soooooo excited.
You don’t understand – I wanted to make it so much it hurt. And I did. It was the best.
Your 11 year old Monican wore those cheer shorts and shirts and sweaters proudly. Soffe made a lot of the clothes we wore for summer camp. So when they contacted me about testing out some of their fitness gear I knew I was READY! OKAY!!
Ha! I had to
Soffe sent me a cute racer back tank and super sassy pair of capris.
Where RunEatRepeat and Monican the cheerleader collide… (see: my photographer is getting angry that I’m just acting silly so this is what I get)
The back of the tank:
The RER
except I had to modify the RER pose a bit in honor of this reunion…
Love it!

Question: What sports or teams or activities did you do as a kid?
Do you still do them?
Sadly I had to retire my cheer shoes when I graduated high school. You’re welcome.

Jojo @ Run Fast Eat Lots says
I didn’t know Soffe made all sorts of workout gear. I remember when those shorts were super popular. I still wear them, but more for around the house. The pairs I have are ancient.
I used to be a vball player in high school. Don’t play anymore, which makes me a bit sad.
Erin @ Eat Up, Shape Up says
Super cute outfit! I love Soffe – they have some cute stuff at Sports Authority right now 🙂
I played soccer and did track for a bit in school, and started lifting in high school as well. While I really like the infographic from Soffe, I’m definitely more of a solo activities kinda girl!
Sue says
The teal colour racer back looks good on you.
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
Cute workout outfit! Love the colors. No cheerleading for me. I played soccer and ran cross country and track.
Angela @ HonestlyAngela says
Love the tank! I played soccer growing up. I play the odd time for fun with friends now but that’s about it. I don’t miss it at all!

I gave it all up after high school. I tried running again..and I stink at it.
wendy says
i remember my middle school P.E. uniform was made by Soffe!
Allison K. says
So cute! I was a cheerleader in high school and loved their shorts. Who knew they had so many other workout options!
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
Love those leggings! I used to be ALL about Soffe!
Caitlin says
I think every girl wore the heck out of those shorts in middle school..and I’m pretty sure I still have a pair! Their workout gear is super cute!
Love your side pony too girl!
Jillian says
OHHH MY GOLLY SOFFES.
That outfit is so cute! I have to admit – I still own some of them from when I was on dance team in high school. I am pretty sure if they can endure my buttsweat every summer practice, they are indestructible.

wow, what a throwback! i used to love some soffee shorts — elastic waist band rolled up to make them inappropriately short, of course. good heavens, high school.
Lauren says
I used to buy Soffe shorts in my high school’s colors for gym class. That’s awesome they are still around!
Rachel says
Dancing – ballet, tap, jazz, etc. And absolutely! There’s an adults class I go to and it’s the highlight of my week.
Kim says
I’ve never commented but I have to say that if I was soffe and sent you clothes and paid you to write that post I would be pretty disappointed. There is literally no content and rather than give the details about the clothes, fit, close ups of detailing etc, you just turned it into yet another story about yourself and series of pictures of you. I actually went back and reread the post because I was sure that I had somehow missed the actual review of the clothes. Just my opinion but this actually made me NOT want to buy any side clothes.
runeatrepeat says
Thanks for the feedback Kim. The contract for this partnership specifically said they do not want a review, but a post on how Soffe makes me feel.
Monica B @ Hot Mess Express says
Awhh so cute, love the tank! I was hoping for a giveaway!!! I will have to check this company out and I love your lil’ bebe cheer photos. Too cute!
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I just remember the hot second i was on the track team and our uniform bottoms were like bikini bottoms. Hence the reason I was only in 1 track meet before deciding I was OUT! LOL!
Brooke@runningonchange says
I loved soccer and lacrosse in high school!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
I was also a cheerleader in middle school, but then did soccer and swimming in high school. I can’t remember what brand we used in cheerleading, but this one is new to me. Looks sweet and for some reason the name just makes me think it is comfy. I have no idea why, but there you go.
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles says
I love that you were a cheerleader! And I LOVED Soffee shorts, still do! I had no idea they made fitness apparel – I just see the shorts in the stores when I am shopping for clothes for my son.
Karina @ fitsickle says
Soffe?!! I totally forgot about them! I used to LIVE in my Soffe shorts and had every color of the rainbow. I was always a big soccer player.. Never was a cheerleader though! Those leggings are so fabulous.
