What’s in Your Fitness Closet

March 25, 2013 | fitness, running

Brian from the Pavement Runner challenged us to show the world what we have in our fitness closet. It could be running clothes, yoga pants, bike shorts, you name it. I happen to have workout clothes all over the place, so decided to film a vlog showing some of my collection.

First, a couple of photos. I have an insane amount of RunningSkirts.com gear. (Being a sales rep for them will do that to you!) It started as just a little corner of my closet and kept growing and growing! (This was taken post run so excuse my red face!)

There you have it, just a sneak peek of my fitness clothes. It would have been a llloonnggg video had I pulled everything out! Be sure to head over to Pavement Runner’s Blog to see what other people have in their fitness closets.

QOTD: Do your fitness clothes take up more room in your closet/drawers than regular ones?

    Wow you sure do have A LOT of fitness clothes. The biggest bottom drawer in my chest of drawers is all for fitness clothes but there are some I definitely wear more often than others either for their comfort factor or depending on what activity I’m doing they suit me better.

    You have a ton of stuff! I’m definitely in need of a closet makeover. I don’t even know how much stuff I have b/c my closet is so disorganized that I “lose” things.

    If it were up to me my fitness clothes would take up 1/2 my closet..but I don’t think my boyfriend would appreciate that too much haha

    Right now my running gear takes up one whole drawer of my dresser. Now that I have a new apartment and bigger closet, I’m wondering if I should give some drawers for the closet and re-organize some stuff.

    I’ve actually pretty much take over another room in the house for all my running & yoga stuff! There’s a full dresser of clothes, but then I have all my “accessories” – yoga mats, foam rollers, water bottles, etc., it’s crazy!

    Yes my running clothes take up way more space in my closet than my regular clothes do! I love buying running clothes…especially running skirts…and it’s a problem come Sunday morning when I need something to wear to church lol! Or on the days I substitute teach! Glad to know I’m not the only one out there with way too many running clothes! 🙂

  12. Katy says

    March 25, 2013 at 11:23 am

    I find myself NOT purchasing “normal” clothes because I could use that money to buy running clothes or new running shoes…I can completely relate to your closet!! And, love all the cute skirts…I may need to start stocking up, too…:)

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 7:01 am

  13. Meghan says

    March 25, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    You are so organized with it all! I totally need to devote more space to my entirely too huge collection. I love your huge collection of Running Skirts! I love running in them!

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 7:00 am

      I got tired of not being able to see all my skirts at once to decide what i wanted to wear!

  14. Karen :0) says

    March 25, 2013 at 11:44 am

  17. Crystal says

    March 25, 2013 at 1:13 pm

    March 25, 2013 at 6:20 pm

    Wow. I thought I had a lot of stuff. Mine doesn’t fit in my very small closet so it is all crammed in drawers. I love how organized yours is.

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 6:58 am

  21. Holly @ Running & Baking oh my! says

    March 25, 2013 at 8:12 pm

    I love your closet filled with skirts! I have a ton of running clothes and need to find a bigger place to keep them. I see a lot of things I want to buy from reading all of these posts, I may be in trouble!

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 6:58 am

      I feel the same way!

  22. Melissa Love says

    March 25, 2013 at 8:17 pm

    haha I LOVE how many skirts you have! That’s awesome! I didn’t know you were a rep – I LOVE those skirts! I thought I had a lot of “Fitness” drawers in my dressers but so do you so I feel better 🙂

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 6:58 am

      Yeah I worked expos and sold to southern states traveling around etc. but I don’t do it anymore.

  23. Laure Simms says

    March 25, 2013 at 7:28 pm

    My running gear is taking over. Heather it is all your fault that I have bought five runningskirts in the last couple of months. I am addicted.

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 6:58 am

  24. Christine @ Love, Life, Surf says

    March 25, 2013 at 8:29 pm

    I’m so jealous of your running skirts collection too! I love that all of your workout clothes are neatly hanging in a closet. Mine are stuffed into 2 dresser drawers. Not a pretty sight!

    • Heather says

      March 26, 2013 at 6:57 am

  25. Katrina@Katrina Runs for Food says

    March 26, 2013 at 9:27 am

    I may need to add to my skirt collection. I have a ton of shorts and pants, but I’m lacking in skirts. Thanks for the details!

    • Heather says

      March 27, 2013 at 7:44 am

      yes! buy all the skirts!

  26. Amalia says

    March 26, 2013 at 12:02 pm

    I LOVE the video. It was awesome to watch. I’m also going to go buy some running skirts – I’ve wanted to try them and seeing your closet gave me some inspiration to go grab a few!

    We are all going to end up with no regular clothes and wearing workout clothes everywhere… but what can you do!

    • Heather says

      March 27, 2013 at 7:42 am

      exactly! What can you do. lol

  27. AmyC says

    March 26, 2013 at 2:08 pm

    I love that you hang your fitness clothes! I need a bigger closet 😉

    • Heather says

      March 27, 2013 at 7:41 am

      just some of them. it would take up all the space if I hung them all!

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! 🩷

Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Hav Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Haven was everything we wanted in a mountain getaway—and then some. ⛰️ 

This luxury cabin has 4 spacious bedrooms (including one with built-in bunks that my daughter loved) and 4 full bathrooms, making it perfect for a family trip or group vacation.

We spent our days soaking in the hot tub with mountain views, lounging on the deck by the fireplace with coffee in hand, and playing pool in the game room. 

The cabin even has its own private sauna and steam room—YES, really! It felt like a full-on spa experience right in the woods. ✨ 

And one of the best surprises? It has its own playground, which was a total hit with with daughter and such a bonus for keeping little ones entertained.

We were just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, but honestly, we barely wanted to leave. If you’re planning a Smoky Mountains trip, Alpine Haven is that perfect mix of cozy, modern, and wow-worthy. 💫
