From Pennies To Yennies

Happy Tuesday all! Today I’m participating in a Blog Link-Up with Pavement Runner to see what’s in other blogger’s running closets, and to show what I have as well!

But first, the winner of my Tokyo Disney Sea cookie giveaway!

Congrats Krissy! Email a mailing address to laurel[at]penniestyennies[dot]com and I’ll get those out to you ASAP 😀

Alright, so my fitness closet! Let’s start with shoes.
This isn’t even all of them! But these are what I wear most. You will notice they’re all Nikes. Being a former Portland, Oregon resident, I had access to the coveted Nike Employee Store in Beaverton. That’s 50% off EVERYTHING that is currently on the market! Needless to say I love shopping there.
From left to right I have Nike Lunar Swift, Lunar Glide, Free 3.0, 2.0 and 5.0 (varying levels of cushion), and an old pair of walking around Nikes. The Lunar Swifts have been loved to pieces and keep them for muddy runs. I’m currently running in the Lunar Glides and cross training in the Frees. Ultimately I’d like to get professionally fitted for some good running shoes, but that will have to wait til my next trip to the US!

Shirts! Again- just some! I’m not a huge fan of running in tank tops, since my weight loss has left me with some extra skin.
The blank shirts are solid tech or Luon tees from Lululemon and Uniqlo. The race shirts are self explanatory. The white patterned shirt and word block shirt are both from Lululemon. I LOVE the orange long sleeve shirt. It’s from my running club’s Halloween run!

Ahh track jackets. These have a way of accumulating in my closet. I actually don’t wear most of these, but it’s hard to get rid of clothes here. The top left was a fantastic Lululemon jacket. Lesson learned though- don’t buy a white jacket! next to it is a track jacket Dan got for me from his work- it says XBOX360. Then an Underarmour jacket.
Next row down is my beloved Lululemon Scuba hoodie, Nike track jack, and 2 Lululemon jackets, and the bottom row is Nike, Seattle Sounders and Adidas.

My meshy track jackets I like to use when I’m actually moving, like for jogging, walking, hiking etc. When I’m just going to and from the gym, I like a soft, cottony hoodie.
Pink galore! I have a friend who works at Victoria’s Secret, hence the excessive loungewear you probably see frequently in this blog. Along with a Mariners hoodie and my running club fleece. I love our logo! It also has my hash name on it, Froggy Style.

I love shorts, but since acquiring extra skin on my legs from weight loss I don’t seem to wear them unless it’s pretty hot 🙁
I love the Nike Tempo short, which is most of what you see here. I also have an orange pair of the Underarmour version. The 2 pairs on the right are nice, compression-y shorts that I wear for doing yoga or work out dvds at home.

Pants! I’m most comfortable in black capris. I have about 4-5 pairs, from Nike and Lululemon. I wear them so much, most of them are currently in the hamper! But here you can see my two fave running tights, some cropped compression pants and relaxed fit capris.

Every runner’s wardrobe needs a little Team Sparkle!

Finally, hats! I only wear hats when it’s raining, and as long as I can keep the water off my face I don’t mind running in the rain! Lululemon and Nike
