    You really want to know? I really have so much it's crazy.

    20+ pairs Running socks

    That's the one thing that struck me as crazy. 20+ pair socks? Surely that's a typo.

    Nope not a typo. I don't wear a lot of white clothing so struggle to make enough white washing on my own to warrant putting the washing machine on so compensate by having lots of socks to make up a load. Plus I live in jeans and shirts for work so tend to wear them as everyday socks also. Also remember trainer socks for the summer, the ankle ones for cooler months and full ones to go under tights/leggings

    I totally stole a nice set of plastic drawers from my husband and informed him that it was now mine. It's the size of a small dresser. Entirely filled with my running stuff.

    Wow. This is insanity. I would be considered a minimalist around here, or at the very least, undreprepared...
    2 pair shorts
    2 pair tights
    1 pair capris
    3 long sleeved shirts
    a variety of short sleeved (collected from various races)
    4 tanks
    3 very old, crappy sports bras (OK, they need replacing)
    3 thin long sleeved fleece
    3 pair socks
    at the moment, only one pair of shoes (usually 2 in rotation)
    rain pants
    a rain jacket
    ONE ear warmer
    ONE hat
    ONE reflective vest
    ONE headlamp
    and a thingy to put my phone in

    Some of you could make some cash on ebay if you wanted. Everything makes it into a warm load of laundry, so there's never an "oh crap, I'm out of socks" moment.

    Maybe it's because my kids are still in activities. I always feel like they need stuff before I do. That and I never pay full price for anything, so unless it goes on sale, even if I need it, I won't buy it (with the exception of safety things and shoes).

    What I would give to have four pair of shoes!! What fun :) And running skorts? Wardrobe envy here, ladies. It's on my birthday list!

    Holy snikes!! I consider myself a pretty hardcore runner but I only have the following:

    Lots of race t-shirts/long sleeve
    1 wind jacket
    1 winter jacket
    1 shorts
    2 long pants
    5 pair of socks
    1 skirt
    Flip belt
    Visor
    Winter hat
    Gloves
    Shoes
    Sports bra

    When I started running I had 1 pair of shorts, 1 t-shirt, 1 pair of socks, and my shoes, it might not be much... But I've come a long way!!
