But you have a colour to match every mood and coordinate with a myriad of running gear! No shame in that! :)

And I have a 'fast' pair, a 'slow' pair, a 'comfy' pair and a 'fancy' pair 😂

Very sensible! Shoes will last longer if allowed to rest between runs...

And I don't want them getting tired and slowing me down!

You've 3 days of shoes missing! Or do you not count your rest day shoes? ;)

Hehe, if you were looking for an intervention to your addiction you have come to the wrong place. 😀 Love the collection, hope you have matching outfits. 😀.

Funnily enough, I also seem to have acquired six pairs of shorts and five pairs of leggings 😱

Pics!

I am very sad as I have two pairs exactly the same in grey. I need colour!! I love your trainer collection. I just need to run more to justify another pair 😉

I think I need to run more to justify all the pairs I already have 🙈

I'm impressed and would love more than 1pair of running shoes. Might have to go for sale offers in Brooks as they really work for me.

Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Valcart

One of those is a pair of Brooks Defyance 9s - £30 in TK Maxx Clearance sale. I got a right telling off for coming home with another pair but how could I resist at that price?!

... and i got ribbed about my four pairs!!!

Gabby08 profile image
Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss

Only four? I'm sure someone had six!

I've had a bit of a clear out today and now have a dedicated "running drawer" for all my gear. I'm embarrassingly chuffed with it 😳

OldflossAdministrator in reply to Gabby08

Great isn't it? I tidied today and now have TWO running drawers!

Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss

Something else for me to aspire to! I have a sneaking suspicion that might be easier to accomplish than a HM...

Ah, my stuff has been consigned to a shabby Sports Direct bag for years. Which I definitely want to remedy as I have gone off Sports Direct after I realised they don't do refunds, only credit notes! Was not impressed with that. I may just have a drawer going spare...

Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to sarah469

I went off them for the same reason. You won't regret a drawer, I promise. I keep gazing at mine with satisfaction, which probably says a lot about me!

I know, I have an entire deep and wide drawer full to overflowing - and wear the same stuff over and over.

in reply to Gabby08

I am envious that you have a running drawer! All my summer running gear is stacked in a pile on my chest of drawers. I need more room for my lycra lol.

Haha! I'm on 3 so far, although I tend not to use the oldest pair so much anymore. What makes (makes/models?) are they? I like the black ones witht he pink inner and yellow laces, unusual! Which is your favourite?

Gabby08 profile image
Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to sarah469

The pink ones are Nike Air Pegasus 32s, the second pair are the new and as yet unused Brooks Defyance 9s and the other two are both Asics GT 1000 5s, which I loved so much I bought them twice. In my defence, they were all bargains - the most expensive pair were the Nikes at £31.50 from the designer outlet. I wanted to try something a bit less structured but I much prefer the Asics for longer distances.

What a fabulous running shoe collection! In my book all shoes/boots are an 'investment' and therefore a totally justified expense. It is also a crime to leave beautiful shoes of any kind on sale in the shop. Yes, my first word was 'shoe' & I do have a bit of a footwear addiction!

Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Slinkymalinki

Hahaha, you and me both! I may adopt your footwear philosophy...👟👠👡👢👞

Running tops seem to be my weakness, can't seem to go out without buying one 😊

Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Cliff_H

What's your grand total so far? You'll be needing a drawer...

Cliff_H profile image
Cliff_HGraduate10 in reply to Gabby08

About 10 Gabby but the rate of purchase is increasing 😂

Gabby08 profile image
Gabby08Graduate10 in reply to Cliff_H

That's what happened with the shoes!

Cliff_H profile image
Cliff_HGraduate10 in reply to Gabby08

I've got one pair but so tempted to get another, the old

"Having two lets you know when one is wearing out" argument seems like a good one but after spending £160 on my current pair I may stick to shirts for a while 😂
