Friday Five: How I Organize my Gear

5/14/2015

Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). This week's topic is How I organize my race gear. I am always updating how I organize all of my running stuff so let's get started. 


1. Short sleeve shirts
I keep all of my shirts in one drawer. I separate them by tanks and short sleeves. I also keep my sports bras in there as well. I try to keep them organized so I can see them all but that does not always happen. I usually wear race shirts. 

2. Long sleeve shirts and bottoms
My long sleeve shirts have greatly expanded with 13 shirts in less than 6 months! I organized them by Disney and non Disney. On the other side is my shorts/skirts. I try to organize them so  I can see them all but I of coure forget about some of them. 

I'm going to have to figure out another plan soon because I'm running out of space! 

3. Running electronics and sweatbands
I keep these by my door so I always know where everything is. Usually my headbands are a game time decision so I love having them there. It was raining when I finished running today so my electronics are a bit of a mess. 

4. Fuel and extras
I just moved my fuel because it was getting out of control. I keep it all in shoe box behind my door. In other boxes I have other things such as one box for winter wear (caps and gloves) and one for extra supplies with baby wipes, Mylar blankets and anything extra I get.

5. Storage for costumes and throw away
Above my closet, I put everything in bags and label them by costume. The big bag in front has an excessive amount of throwaway clothes I can use on a whim. I keep trying to reuse costume parts so I don't have to buy fully new stuff before every race. 

Bonus: My routine
I picked out all of my workout clothes for the week on the Saturday or Sunday. Everything is in a stack and ready to go quickly and it helps me get out of the door fast in the morning for my workouts. It also helps my drawers from getting too overcrowded, like they are now after 3 new shirts. 

That's it for me! It's definitely not perfect but it works for me, at least for now. Whenever I decide to move, I want to buy some drawers that are just for workout gear as I keep getting more and more! In the meantime, I may switch to baskets as needed.

How do you stay organized with all of your workout gear?

Wow, picking out your running clothing for the week is really smart and definitely a time saver. I also keep running costumes in a bin on top of my closet shelf

My fuel stuff is getting a little out of control soon. A shoe box is a good idea!

I love how you have a bag for throwaways. Usually I am rooting through drawers to find something I don't mind getting rid of.

WOW you're so organized...I really need to buck up. I kinda hate that I'm not an organized person. It just leads to chaos!
Great tips!

I've got my clothes in one section of my dresser, the stuff I use everyday on the kitchen table, and my winter accessories in a bin. I need to put it all in one place!

I could use a few more drawers. I have piles of shirts in my closet with no place for them!

It takes some getting used to but is so much easier in the morning just to get up and not worry about it. It also helps the weather is pretty much the same every day haha

Organization is probably one of my strongest traits. Without it, I feel so out of sorts

The only reason I thought of it was trying to decide what to do with the empty shoe box I had after my new shoe purchase. I feel so much more organized with my fuel.

I think we all need just a running room to keep all of our stuff haha

I didn't have any throwaway clothes so I just went to goodwill when they had a sale and bought like 8 outfits
