New Bruised Berry Spray Dye Shorts. I can't tell whether these are Speeds or Tracker IIs. You would think both styles will be coming.

The Pretty Palm Print Run Times shorts I ordered Monday arrived today and I made a few comparisons to the other run shorts I have in my collection. All are size 12s. I believe the Run Times are intended to be the successor to the Groovy Runs since they have a similar waistband style and both have three pockets.
As you can see, the Run Times line up nearly identical to the Groovy Runs. However, the inseam is a bit shorter - 4" to 4.5" - and the leg opening is a bit narrower - 25" to 25 3/4". The Run Times definitely have the most narrow leg opening of any of the shorts I compared it to. The waistband is equally comfortable to the Groovy Runs. I like the back view better than the Groovy Runs, but of the five styles shown above the Run Times and Groovy Runs are probably my favorite back views.
Tracker II and Run Times shorts both have the same inseam - 4" - but the Tracker IIs look a little longer in these photos. The waistband on the Run Times is definitely widers. The Tracker II has larger leg openings by 1 3/8" inches.
I made a chart comparing some measurements of the five types of shorts pictured plus some Speed short info. The leg opening numbers in parentheses are the measurements I made on my own shorts since I am not sure how lululemon measures the leg openings on the shorts.
All in all, I really like the new Run Times shorts. I think the fit is very similar to Groovy Runs except the leg opening is snugger. Groovy Runs are probably my favorite style of run short but I think I can live with the new Run Times. I want to caveat that I don't run in these shorts, they are walking shorts and casual wear for me.
