My Fitness Closet Part 2

April 5, 2013 | fitness, running, Running Skirts

Some of you may remember the recent post and vlog I did on my Fitness Closet. I only had time to do a quick overview of my fitness clothes, but decided I wanted to dive a little deeper and give some more details on my workout wear. I am aware I have a LOT of workout clothes, but oddly enough I didn’t pay for very many of them. Lots are race clothes, things I was given for review for the blog, etc. So, point being no I didn’t spend a fortune on all of these clothes and shoes!

SHOES: from top to bottom, left to right: Newtons, runDisney New Balance, Brooks trail, reebok flex, Mizuno, Asics, Saucony Virrata, Reebox flex, Asics, Zoot, Altra, Under Armour.

shoes

aaannddd I got these guys in the mail yesterday. The new Saucony Kinvara 4. Look for a review later!

I went upstairs and dumped all my dri fit shirts into a pile on the floor.

shirtpile

I sorted them into three piles. Short sleeve on the left, runDisney in the middle, tank top/sleeveless on the right. How sad my runDisney pile is almost as high as my regular short sleeve shirt pile?!?

shirts

PANTS: 3 pair, one pair not shown (in the wash) I don’t own a lot of pants b/c I run most of the time half naked (I kid) because it’s so darn hot here. Target C9, Russell athletic.

pants

CAPRIS: 4 pair shown, 2 not shown (in the wash) I like to take fitness classes in these and lift weights. Under Armour, Target C9, Addidas

capris

SHORTS: I totally just realized all my bottoms are BLACK! Well almost. I have 4 pair in the wash and one are blue and one brown. Brooks, Nike, Russell, Target C9.

shorts

SPORTS BRAS: Yay for color! Everything from Nike to Under Armour to Moving Comfort.

RUNNING SKIRT BRAS: missing 2, a pink and a white.

You probably saw this from my last post. All running skirt gear from capris, to dresses, running skirts, athletic skirts, strappy tanks, tank tops, long sleeves, and jackets. Missing a few items here in the wash as well.

    I think it’s awesome that your runDisney pile is as high as your regular gear! :0)

    LULUlemon because I am definitely a lululunatic! I did just order a few things from Running Skirts! Hoping they arrive soon 🙂

    Definitely Under Armour. I love how UA fits on me since shirts can be cut differently depending on the brand. I had some UA shorts too, but they were old and I decided to phase them out once I got my two Running Skirts.

    Girl I think we have almost the same amount of running skirts ha!!! Love that your runDisney pile of shirts is as high as your regular ones!!!

  7. Amy says

    April 5, 2013 at 7:11 am

    I am all about Target!

  8. Kristin @ A Mom on the Run says

    April 5, 2013 at 7:48 am

    Most of mine is from lululemon too. I have a handful of Old Navy and Nike gear thrown in. Actually I think all of my sports bras are from Old Navy!

  9. Kristy @KristyrunsKato says

    April 5, 2013 at 6:50 am

    Most of my fitness gear is from Lululemon. I am addicted to their clothing!

  10. Jodi says

    April 5, 2013 at 7:52 am

    I have a bunch of Old Navy and Target brand work out clothes. I really love ON because a lot of it is versatile. I’m a Moving Comfort sports bra fan. I’ve got to have a lot of support for my girls.

  11. Kim @ Confessions of a Domestic Goddess says

    April 5, 2013 at 8:59 am

    Your pants/shorts may be all black, but look at those colorful running skirts! I seem to lean towards Target, but that’s probably because there’s one down the street. 🙂

  12. Kristen @ The Smith Summary says

    April 5, 2013 at 8:08 am

    I think I have a majority of UA and Nike right now, but I love me some Target too!

  13. Danielle says

    April 5, 2013 at 9:51 am

    Lululemon and Nike are probably best represented in my closet, although I am really starting to like the few new Athleta pieces I’ve gotten!

  14. Lauren says

    April 5, 2013 at 10:08 am

    Your shoe collection is pretty much amazing!

    As for my closet, I think it’s a toss up between nike and adidas… I usually get what I can find on sale at TJ Maxx haha! Though I did just splurge on a Moving Comfort sports bra and I am so glad I did, I LOVE it!

  15. Zaneta says

    April 5, 2013 at 10:11 am

    LOVE this post! 🙂
    Almost ALL of my running/workout apparel is Nike!! I have a couple underamour, running skirts, and Target C9 but only a couple lol…

  16. Kat says

    April 5, 2013 at 10:12 am

    I’m really leaning towards making a blanket or something out of my race shirts!

  17. Jacinta Dawson says

    April 5, 2013 at 10:30 am

    I am a Brooks girls! My shoes and skirts come from Brooks. My running bras are from moving comfort. It took me awhile to get over paying that much for a bra, but once you run in a good bra–you get it!

    • Heather says

      April 8, 2013 at 1:00 pm

      yes moving comfort is great!

  18. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's says

    I need to do a second post, I covet your shoe collection. It’s funny you have barely any pants and I have 1 pair of shorts…

  19. Kristin @ A Mom on the Run says

    April 5, 2013 at 2:04 pm

    I’m back with a question 🙂 I was looking at the Running Skirts website and I love the strappy tanks and bras. Do you usually wear one of their bras under the tank? Is it pretty supportive. I’m not huge up top, but thanks to nursing two babies, I definitely need some support.

    • LeeAnn says

      April 6, 2013 at 6:11 am

      I am a little bigger on top, but really want to try a Strappy Tank and have wondered this same question…

      • Heather says

        April 8, 2013 at 12:59 pm

        there are two kinds made of two different materiels. the super stretchy ones are looser so I wear another bra under but not the tigheter/less stretchy ones.

    I mostly have Nike. I have friends who work for the company so I get into the employee store on occasion. I stock up because it’s half off. My husband joked that when I was training in 2011 that I was sponsored by Nike. I wish!!! He might kill me if I had the amount you have. 😉 I’m impressed though. And no, it is not sad about your amount of runDisney shirts; I’m jealous!

    I’m totally jealous of your runDisney collection! Hopefully I will have that one day too! I’m a big fan of the C9/champion stuff at Target. I love the compression capris there and their tech shirts but I love my Nike tanks, shorts, and sport bras! I just invested in a couple sparkle skirts and running skirts so those are new favorites!

  23. Haley says

    April 5, 2013 at 9:42 pm

    You crack me up with your collection. I can’t say that I’m envious. I think we have to make a collection all our own. I definitely want to make a quilt one day out of some of my tech shirts. I’ve donated some shoes over the course of a few Tough Mudder s. Otherwise, I have drawers full of gear. Mostly Nike and Lululemon.

  24. Erin @RunandLaughThruLife says

    April 8, 2013 at 12:36 pm

    I am seriously jealous of your shoe collection… makes me want to go get a new pair of shoes asap.

      haha do it!

  25. Crystal says

    April 19, 2013 at 12:29 pm

    Runningskirts, lululemon, and sparkleskirts, with some c9 and tekgear in the mix!

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
