Can you believe my hubby aka Fazzical just told me he didn't think I needed any more running gear, I seem to have rather a lot! Really ๐Ÿ™„

I hope you told him!!!! Honestly, as you say...what are they like? :)

I am hoping, that when i get home from France.. the summer sales will be on, then I can get gear ready for next summer :)x

Seriously?! Men have no idea of the need for such essential items. No such thing as too much running gear.

You just wait until he wants to start buying his own stash ๐Ÿ˜‰

well, if a pair of cloggies are enough for him, what do you expect?

My hubby says that too but I just point out that if he wants a happy, contented, FIT (wink wink nudge nudge ๐Ÿ˜‰) wife then the clothes come with the package ๐Ÿ˜‰ then I usually go online to look for even more goodies ๐Ÿ˜Š

Clearly. Men are *always* wrong, when they discuss with women... XP

Don't worry. I believe it's about week 7 or 8 that you get an Apple Watch ๐Ÿ‘

Hehe MrRfc has stopped asking if I NEED stuff now and understands there now has to be a running draw for me that is overflowing. I will give his due he understands that commenting on my running outfit positively will produce a smile just as big as when I get all glammed up maybe even more. ๐Ÿ˜€.

Do you have a running watch?/ How many pairs of running shoes do you have? Do your running shirts and shorts colour match your shoes? What facility do you have to run long distances - water bottle , running belt, hydration pack?? What equipment do you have to carry your phone while running? (safety). How many running events have you pre-booked?(for purposes of maintaining motivation). What running tourism activities are you thinking about?

There are lots of questions that need answering before we can say whether you have really gone "over the top" - any others that I have missed???

OldPossum profile image
OldPossumโ€ข in reply toBazza1234

I can answer no to many of these questions so I clearly need to buy more :-)

I like your thinking. It's amazing what we can spend and then dream about/Google for a cheap sport like running!๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Oh yeah? Lets see em then? We love new duds pics. As if you didn't know. LOL!

My husband collects boxes of screws! He can't walk past a display of toolboxes either! So as long as he has the latest in power drills he takes absolutely no notice whatsoever what running duds I am wearing. He couldn't give a stuff, which suits me fine. His space in the wardrobe is ever-decreasing but I don't think he's noticed.

Screws?!! I have a friend who loves walking around all the hardware stores!! She says it's all so interesting. *yawn yawn * Maybe she and your hubby should meet ๐Ÿ˜Š
