...you have a mass clothes-cull, with the sole purpose of clearing a drawer for your running gear :-/

I need to do this! I have also found myself wearing running gear when I am not actually going running ( e.g to watch the kids run). Any shoe with less than a 3 inch heel was previously classified as beach or summer use only :)

Just the one drawer?

Yep, just ordered another pair of compression capris. That will take my collection to 3, combined with 3 loose running tops, 1 pair of gym capris, 2 short sleeved tops, 1 pair of over trousers, 2 thermal tops, 2 thermal leggings, 3 swimsuits, 3 sports bras, 5 pairs of running socks, winter hat, gloves .... may need 2 drawers soon. Plus I also have walking boots and various forms of outdoor clothing, wetsuit, rash vest, dinghy boots, sailing gloves and spray top elsewhere in the house.

It's even worse when you have to cull your running gear to make room for the new stuff you've just bought!

Hehe been contemplating this exact thing.

Not just the clothing though, there's the armbands, belts, earphones, sunglasses etc to find a home for too.

The challenge is finding somewhere where it's all out of the way (away from curious little hands) yet easily accessible without waking the household when getting up at silly o'clock.
