In the "unexciting workhorse" category, I've had a number of these suits in the last couple decades, and the've all lasted for years and so, so many yards. They are the Nike polyester lingerie tank suits. The straps are really comfortable for me, they are my go-to practice suit. My current one is purple. Red is the one color I've never had because red is so often see-through (or has a black lining and looks kind of weird.) I wish they made more fun combinations of strap colors. Black with pink straps please!
I have a pair of Tek Gear shorts that are like Nike knock-off shorts that I reach for over and over again. They have a longer inseam than the Nike shorts and are just so perfect for runs (except no pockets).

I've had it in red. It's black lined but not weird-looking (IMO) when it gets wet. I do like it quite a bit.
My current favorite workout item is this jacket, which I picked up at Sam's Club:
It's ridiculously soft and comfy, the thumb holes are perfectly located for the length of my arms (I have short arms, so sometimes thumb holes are WAY too far out for me), and it's nearly fluorescent, so very high-visibility for running.
My cw-x stabilyx capris are my long run and race day faves. I feel a little more supported, and I like the stitching around the knee. It feels similar to KT tape, imo.

Enell Sports Bra. I can run in anything, even gym shorts and a cotton t-shirt but I cannot run if my girls are flapping. I used to have to double and triple up until I found this bad mothereffer. Ugly as sin but it gets the job done.
I say the same thing every time, lol. LLL speed shorts and I really prefer the 4 way stretch to the 2 way stretch. They're worth every ridiculous penny.
PS how do I post a non-attachment picture? I copied and pasted but I'm not sure if that will work?
GapFit train jacket - I prefer full-zip, knew I wanted this coral-ish color and looked for months! Then a week after finally finding a very similar Nike one I found this one. Probably not necessary in Florida but I'm planning on keeping these both for many seasons since they'll get little use.
2. I also love these capris. I guess I'm a GapFit fan.

ETA: Nope, just shows the link.
I either use the picture icon & paste the link into that, (although you have to delete the http, it shows up twice). Or use this code: [img*]image code[/img] take out the * from the first part.

I haven't figured that part out yet. The only way I know how to change the size is to upload to tinypic. You can choose different sizes and then they give you the image code to copy.
