It’s a Running Garage Sale!

January 12, 2015

Is it just me or does everyone you know have some kind of weight loss goal for 2015? I decided to jump on the bandwagon by losing some weight … in all my closets and drawers. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been eliminating the bulge by decluttering and reorganizing all my spaces. My running accessory drawer was high on that list.

Running Garage Sale on runladylike.com

As I was tossing out umpteen expired items I’ve received in race bags during the past few years that were lodged in the back of the drawer, I found a few things I’m parting with that I’d rather give to a happy home than toss. (Note: I have hardly used any of these items. The ones I have used have only been a handful of times).

What better way to “lose some of the weight” than by having a running garage sale! Except you don’t have to leave your house and all the items are free.

Be the first to leave a comment claiming which item you want, and I will mail it to you. Please note only one item per person and only one choice per person. You must live in the United States since I’m paying for the shipping. I will follow up with an email to the first person that responds on each item (total of 5 different items and 5 garage sale winners).

Happy running and rummaging.

Steve

I’d love the belt if it’s still available!

Thanks!

Steve, you are the winner of the SPI-Belt. Congrats on being the first to claim it. I will send you an email to get your address. xo

Kate

i would love the Nuun!

Kate

Also, I Always endorse purging belongings. We collect so much stuff and so much of it weighs us down without contributing to our quality of life at all.

rUnladylike

Kate, Congrats on winning the Nuun. I will send you an email to confirm your address. Thanks for stopping by the garage sale 🙂

Hi Whitney! Thanks so much for your interest. The SPI-Belt has been claimed, but thanks for your kind words. Happy running! xoxoxo

Mary

Seconds dibs on the belt! Thank you!

Mary

Oops! 3rd dibs on the belt! If the vest is sized for women, I would love that! Thanks again!

Mary

I keep my stuff in a box in the kitchen, a drawer in my dresser, and a box in the closet – it is spread out everywhere and I need to get it all organized! I got some arm sleeves for Christmas – never used them before and am curious about how different they will feel as compared to just a long sleeve shirt. Now I just need the temps to warm up a bit!!

rUnladylike

Hi Mary! You are the first to respond on the vest. I will send you an email to get your address info. Thanks for your interest! xo

Mary

Thank you so much!

Whitney @ French Fry Runner

Looks like I barely missed out! 🙂 Ah well. If Steve decides otherwise… keep me in mind. Thanks for posting. Love your blog.

Tracy

Trying to get motivated for early morning running… Would love the reflective vest if it’s still available!

rUnladylike

Hi Tracy! Thanks so much for your interest. Someone else snapped it up right before you, but gift yourself some new reflective gear to keep you waking up early. I really like Amphipod’s products. They have some great Y-shaped vests and blinking lights and a fun little visor light that attaches to the bill of your hat. Best of luck with your morning running. You’ve got this! xo

Lauren

I’d love the book light! This is such a nice thought!

rUnladylike

Congrats Lauren! You are the new owner of the book light. I will email you to get your mailing information. Thanks for your interest! xo

Jess

I don’t need any of these things, but this idea is so cute!

Laura

I’d love the reflective vest if it hasn’t been taken yet! Such a great giveaway – you’re inspiring me to clean out my drawers!

rUnladylike

Hi Laura,
Unfortunately it has been snapped up, but thanks so much for reading and shopping 🙂 Happy running! xo

Christi

I don’t need anything but just wanted to comment on how sweet you are to do that. Awe! So nice! 🙂

Billb

Don’t need a thing but this is a great idea an so stealing it for next year 🙂 our best to you and the Mr. 🙂

rUnladylike

Thanks so much Bill. You are more than welcome to steal any and all running garage sale ideas. Hee hee. Happy 2015 and happy running!

Liz @ Loving to Tri

Love this idea! It’s so nice of you to share your unwanted stuff with other!

Michelle

ohh the rubber pace band !!! If it’s still available

rUnladylike

Hi Michelle,
Congrats! You are the new owner of the 1:45 pace band. I hope it will help you crush your next goal. I will send you an email to get your mailing info. Happy running! xo

rUnladylike

Hi Lindsay! Unfortunately all the items have been claimed, but thanks so much for your interest. Have a great week of running! xo

Nikki Fahey

aquaphor!!! and the hair things:)

rUnladylike

Hi Nikki. The only things that I was giving away are the 5 items specified in the post. They have all been claimed. The picture of my running drawer are all of my things I’m keeping 🙂 I love aquaphor too. Happy running!

Christine @ We Run Disney

Such a great idea! I recently cleaned out my running clothing and donated a bunch. But I added something new to my to do list – cleaning out my box of random runner fuel in my kitchen cabinet. I have a feeling the bottom of said box may be a little scary. 🙂

Ashley Widis

I’d love any of the Nuun and reflective vests. Thanks

rUnladylike

Hi Ashley! Thank you so much for your interest but they have both already been claimed. Wishing you a happy year of running ahead. xo

Alaina @ The Simple Peach

I love the idea of “weight lose” from closets and catch all places! I love the feeling that comes from eliminating clutter! Good work!

Laura @ This Runner's Recipes

I love the idea of losing weight from closets and shelves! I also reorganized my running drawer and it feels so clean, refreshing, and motivating! Now just to sort through all my running shoes 🙂

Melissa Burton

This is a brilliant idea! We should have a link-up with “one lady’s trash is another one’s treasure” type of thing.

We runners/fitness enthusiasts/bloggers definitely have a plethora of stuff. I do try to donate mine regularly but I still think this is a great idea!

Tina Muir

What a good idea Jesica! Then you know it truly goes to people who want it, rather than people picking it up from goodwill just cause! How clever. I am sure they are all sold already 🙂 I should do something similar….rid my wardrobe of all that leftover nike….so my beloved Saucony can fully take over 😉
