It’s been 3 months since I took my first step in becoming a runner. I’ve purchased shoes, 1 long sleeve running shirt, a running skirt (from SkirtSports), 1 pair of socks, 1 tank and one pair of shorts. The rest of my running gear has been old stuff from my closet.
BUT I’ve also received lots of “free” stuff. In my Luke’s Locker running training last week, our coach gave us a free shirt, socks and grapefruit. At the Houston Marathon expo, my hubby and I collected 2 free chapsticks, tasted lots of different training fuels (gels, bars & gummies), got 4 snack bars and some fruit. Oh….and in November, I got a free long-sleeved T for the Turkey Trot.
Today, however, I’m shopping for running tights. It’s going to be 32 degrees tomorrow for our running clinic so I don’t think my capri tights will be warm enough. I wish I would have thought about getting new tights at the Marathon expo! There were some great deals to be had but I was overwhelmed with all the cool running gear so I didn’t buy anything but my running skirt (and it’s too cold to wear it)!
