I bought my new kit!! My fave Soas kit from last year is a size too big (woop!!) so I am trying out Coeur - Im so excited!

What's your most recent, fun H&F purchase? Between bday and my race, I'm having a little too much fun shopping!

I just spent $300 on tights from Athleta. I need an intervention.

Disclaimer: I bought several sizes/colors online because I'm not sure which ones I'll like best. I'm planning to only keep 2 of them.

I think that is smart shopping, not intervention-worthy!

Oh no, I shouldn't have opened this thread.

My answer is "nothing," but by the end of the day, that may change...

I've been bad:

[labbie]

On the H&F front, not much lately but it might be time for some new running shoes (yay for building up mileage!)

Oh- if race fees count, I registered for Irongirl Tri this summer and the Wineglass Half in the fall.  I also just found out race fees qualify for my work's Wellness reimbursement, so I get 50% back - woo hoo!

And also H&F related, I've had to buy new work clothes since I'm down a size

[clseale]

I actually haven't purchased anything recently, but super cute kit, and yay for sizing out of your other one!!!

[kams]

@sessalee oh man that top is KILLING me - so cute!

labbie - new size, woohooooo! Congrats! Excited to hear about your upcoming races!

[mainewifey]

I purchased more personal training sessions. That's pretty fun! I've been eyeing new running shoes, but I'm so disappointed in how my current ones held up, and I don't actually run that much. I'm having a hard time justifying the money so soon after buying my last pair.

[kams]

Here's the back, since I know you're all just as excited about it as I am

See why they picked such a rad momma gumi to be their ambassador? Bad ass chic!

I can't find it anywhere online, it's sold out/discontinued! I found it on a sale rack at the local running store, the lady was like "I swore these were all gone! I wanted one more and couldn't find it!" I got it for $10!

That stinks about your shoes What are you wearing? I wonder if you went in and told your LRS if they would have another option for you. If you bring them in, maybe they will see how the wear pattern is and can make a better recommendation, or maybe they can even send them back to the manufacturer? Bummer.

STOP the madness! That is incredible!

Damn it, @sessalee!! I was going to ask where that was from. It's totally something this FL runner needs in her life. It looks so light & airy. 

kams, it is so cute! I adore that chevron.

I'm wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13s. I loved them at first, getting properly fitted made a huge difference. I really don't have many miles or use on them at all, and I'm having fit issues in my right foot and my shins are starting to bother me. Bringing them to the store for my next pair is a good idea.

I've not worn it yet, maybe I should sell it to the highest bidder!

It's called the Oiselle Origami Tank, maybe you'll have better luck finding it online than I did. (kams, clseale)

Two pairs of LLL Run Speed Short, a TaTa Tamer, a Run Swiftly Tank, a Run Swiftly Tee, an In a Flash Singlet, and a new pair of Brooks Ghosts.

Tomorrow I plan to buy a paddle board.

ETA: I can only buy running shoes and LLL when H goes to the US, so this is like a two or three times per year thing.

[sitnspin]

I bought a 5 pack of TRX classes on Living Social to support my two friends. 

[enfuego23]

I bought a CrossFit Membership, Athleta Chataranga capris (mine do show sweat:( ), two tanks, and 2 pullovers from LLL. Oh...and some CF shoes:)

[Susie]

I haven't bought anything lately, but I've been looking at tri kits and tops in particular.

I feel badly not racing in my club's gear, but it just doesn't fit me right. The shorts chafed me in my HIM last year, and I prefer racerback tri tops whereas the club gets jerseys. I was actually looking at the Coeur stuff. I liked the fox pattern. kams, can you report back on how it fits?

ETA:  Actually I lied.  I forgot I bought a couple new sports bras recently.

[mrshandy]

Not too fun, but good nonetheless. I bought a new pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 off of Ebay, which will probably be the last pair I will be able to find in my size. I think they're pretty.



Update: There was some kind of error and only 6.5 size is available. Boo! Now I think I'm going to have to go a shoe store to get fitted.

I'm the same way with my team kit - I just can't race in it. I really prefer the felt chamois. I'll let you know how it feels. I love Soas, and see some major similarities. The coeur chamois is also felt, but is completely seamless - it comes all the way to the seam on the leg hole. I think it will be really nice.

Pretty!!!

I really need new sneakers, but I am going away to NH to see Jillian Michaels, so I am saving money for that.

[sadlebred]

Nothing really H&F related. I bought 3 pairs of casual shorts from Athleta in the last few weeks. Next month my cycling team's new kits and clothing come in.

[spunkypenguin]

My Garmin 110 bit the dust a week & a half before Shamrock. I sent it in for warranty, but couldn't bear the thought of running my race w/o a watch, so I went ahead and ordered my replacement online...got the 210 for less than the refund will be for my 110! AND they didn't make me send my HRM strap in, so I still have the HRM!

[Brit]

Susie - Those are really pretty sport bras! Are they MC Alexis?

[taratru]

Nothing.

Buuuut, I will need to go back to my Glycerins when I start full training, so there's that.

Cute stuff, everyone!
