This is my first time linking up with the girls from Tuesdays On The Run, Erika, Patty and Marcia. The topic is Running Uniforms, such as go-to pieces, etc.
This topic is perfect because very recently, I experienced the creme de la creme of first world problems when I thought my very favorite hoodie of all time was lost forever. Like, I legit was depressed over the situation. I bought that hoodie at least four years ago which is the first time I made a Facebook appearance in it- at the Inaugural Tinkerbell Half 2012.

This hoodie has zip pockets on each hip and is technical fabric, which makes it ideal for so many things. I bought it at Road Runner Sports, which I think is only in AZ and CA. At the time, I remember wincing at the price, which I think was around $60- $70. But man, this thing goes with me everywhere.

It makes an excellent riding shirt |
Louie loves it so much, he bit a hole in it. I was not pleased.
I feel like I need a teeny tiny patch for this. Like a lady bug. |

I ran the NYC Marathon in it |
I now consider this hoodie to be somewhat "lucky". Not to mention, it's super comfy and has a flattering cut. What more could a girl ask for?!

Basically, this is my very favorite article of clothing that I own. I wish I could find another like it, but so far, no such luck. It was missing for about two weeks and I walked around in utter dispair, mourning the loss of my beloved hoodie.
Anyone else have a treasured item of clothing that would bring on complete mourning if it was lost?
15 years ago my brother had a party at my house and somebody left behind this cotton Roxy hoodie with thumb holes. THUMB HOLES were amazing in 2000 and I wear it basically daily still. :P So embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I buy multiples of things I love LOL. (I do at least try for different colors.) Glad you found it!
ReplyDeleteIt's no fun when you lose and item of clothing that you dearly love. I also buy multiples of things that I am crazy about. So glad your shirt turned up, but you really need to find a similar model and buy a bunch of them!
ReplyDeleteI love using "running" clothes for riding :) Umm.. . . road runner sports has a website. I'm actually a VIP some times. I say sometimes cause you can get the VIP price cheap but then the renewal is like $25. So I cancel. Then eventually I sign up again. I love the VIP benefits. I don't own any road runner branded apparel though. Maybe I should look into that. If you see they have this hoodie online, post a link to it! (assuming we are talking about the same road runner. www.roadrunnersports.com)
ReplyDeleteI often find that when I do balk at the high price of something it ends up being something I've gotten a lot of use out of. In the end I would have gladly paid double for it had I know how much I would like it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you definitely got a lot of use (and memories) out of that one!
Haha - so when I find something I like, I tend to buy multiples (in different colors). So glad you found your hoodie!
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite pair of shorts lol. I wear them to my races thinking they are good luck. Don't know what will happen when I need to replace them
