Missee and I decided to feature some of our favorite running gear with anyone who is interested. Between the two of us, we have 50+ years of running experience. YIKES! We started running in our teens and now we are 40 somethings. That is a long time and a lot of gear! You will find that we have had a large array of homemade items that were made by either our mom or by us. We like to sew and we like to save money. Currently, I am wearing running gloves from Road Runner Sports. They are fleece gloves that are warm and washable. My hands tend to sweat as I run and I like to throw my gear in the washing machine from time to time. I have been wearing them for several winters and they still work great. On warmer days, I like to wear these knit gloves that were in our goodie bags at the Twin Cities Marathon. My favorite running mittens of all time are these fleece mittens made by our mom. I have had these for 10+ years. By the holes worn in them, you can see that they have been used. On extra cold days, I wear the stretchy gloves from Walmart under my yellow mittens. When I read Missee's post about her favorite running gloves and mittens, I was surprised to see her MN Mitts that were purchased at Dayton's in the early 90's. She commented on how they must be pretty great if she was able to hang on to those mittens for so many years. Look at what I have in my mitten bin... :) Yes, I have another pair of MN mitts that our mom passed down to me. I don't wear them for running, but I do use them while I am out shoveling or snow blowing the driveway. They are very warm!
Happy Running! -Stephanie
