In my Fitness Closet

 Because I seem to be lacking any other inspiration for a post today I decided to link up with Pavement Runner and give you all a peek inside my closet.

Let's start at the bottom..shoes!  Currently running in 1 pair of Asics, 2 pairs of Mizunos, 2 pairs of Altras, 3 pairs of Brooks although 2 are nearly retired and 2 others I can't show you because they are wear test shoes for someone.  I did actually throw out a pair this week.  That almost never happens!

Socks.  I kind of have a thing for Procompression socks, but I also have CEP, 2XU, and Spun compression socks. I love my Drymax and Champion C9 socks.  I could not get this picture to load turned.. so annoying.
Bras, sports bras same thing.  I am a  Handful girl.  It is pretty much all I wear.  Love these bras. I have a whole drawerful.  I think I own at least 12 of them. 
 Bottoms.  I love wearing skirts to run in...Lululemon makes my favorite, I think I love them most for the little shorts they have underneath that do not ride up. I also have Aspaeris compression shorts, Bibbity skirts, and shorts from UnderArmour, Fila, and Asics.
 Sadly it get too cold in winter to wear skirts so I have to have a drawer full of tights and capris.  My favorite tights are Brooks and UnderArmour. I do have some Nike and Prana capris that I love too.
 My shirts all hang front and center in my closet.  Not sure how I would survive without the Champion jackets and long sleeve running shirts I got from Costco several years ago.  They are a winter running staple! 

 I also got a half zip from Gap I love and an Asics rain jacket that I don't have to wear very often but I do love. Keeps me dry! I have a lot of tanks and no particular brand stands out.  1 from Nike and New Balance, Running Chiks, Tough Chicks, my Team Beef gear, lots of race shirts.
I tend to keep all my race shirts, the cotton ones are in a drawe and I never wear them, the tech ones get hung up and I wear them quite a bit.  Some of my favorites are the Missoula Marathon and the Run to the Pub half marathon, and Hood to Coast.
 
I have more stuff like my Lulu headband that was a gift this year, and my Brooks reflective vest that are also mainstays but I guess I didn't get a picture of those, or of the hats I wear, I have about 5 that I rotate.  Sunglasses are also a must!
 
I find that I would much rather buy workout clothes than other kinds of clothes, in fact I was just realizing that last time I bought a pair of jeans was almost three years ago.  But I guess when your jeans are the same size they were 15 years ago that is okay.

  2. I don't own a Handful bra and only have 1 running skirt and I hate it. I keep hoping that one day I will find one that actually fits, but they just don't.

    You have a crazy amount of running gear. I'm sure I have just as much if I really put it all out there together.

  4. I didn't creep on the under-garments, but I'm envious of your shoes. I've got a thing for running shoes ... I just can't have enough. But I think your collection smokes mine! Also, I'm a huge sock-nut! Right now my favorites are Feetures no-show. Just in case you were wondering.

  7. I feel like all of these posts are proving to me that I don't have as much running gear as I thought and I should definitely get some more.

  8. Handful bras are the best! I'm impressed with the variety in your running shoes. I just ordered my first pair of pro compression socks and they are on the way! I have a million race shirts, and they work just fine, so I never buy fancy running shirts!

  13. You run the gamut in shoes--pretty cool. This is another fitness closet post that makes me think I'm really not so bad with having too much. I am in good company out there!

  14. I love these post. It makes me realize I'm not crazy ;-)
    Well, I'm crazy according to a non runner but totally sane when I hang with the run crowd. Love it!

  16. I hardly ever buy jeans... easier for a guy though i guess because we can wear ours baggy or tight/skinny.

    Love your shoe collection. The more the merrier, right?

  17. I love your gear! I have been needing to get a good rain jacket thing. Do you like your Altras? I wanted to like them at the store but the lady was a pain and I just wanted out.

  18. WOWZA! After seeing some closets like yours, I'm lacking in the fitness wardrobe :-( and I thought I was doing good with 4-5 pair of shorts pants capris and compressions! Lol
