Some girls collect purses and high heels...I collect running gear! I have zero sense of control when I get into the running store. Shoes I can somewhat justify as I tend to wear them longer than I should anyway based on the mileage I do. Half the time the heels are totally busted out by the time I get new ones! But I was going through my closet recently and realized it was time to cull a few ratty pairs out of the mix :)
Here's the problem...FrontRunners has a great little kids play area. So I often go there with my youngest and then she wants to play a while...so what else am I supposed to do but go try things on :) I attempt to rationalize my purchases by the fact that I run 6-7 days a week and I do not want to be doing laundry every other day just to have clean running gear...so really I'm saving our hydro bill...right? In my opinion a trip to the running store where I spend less than $200 is a win!
(I went to buy running gels...oops)
Also Amazon and Facebook conspire against me. They totally have me pegged. All my suggested posts are running related items. So I lay in bed at night and scan Facebook and I get these items popping up that "every runner must have"...click on that I'm on Amazon which has my credit card linked and my shipping address on hand. All it takes it 30 seconds and I've got things like these cool little shoe tags showing up at my door :)
(PS. I love these and they make me smile every time I look down)
Lastly, running slogan shirts... I want them all. I think this one will be next whenever I think I can justify another purchase or after a few too many ciders ;)
