Peek in my closet

Here's what I have in terms of running gear.

5 pairs of running shoes with various amounts of miles on them
4 pairs of shorts
4 coolmax-type shirts
2 long-sleeve technical shirts
6 pairs of coolmax socks
1 jacket
1 pair of running pants (NOT tights)

Even though I scour the ads and online shops to get the best prices, I've probably still spent $250-$300 on running stuff this year alone. Compared to many runners (especially those who participate in forums and have blogs about running), I'm pretty sure my closet is pretty empty and my budget is pretty small. But I do need to keep watch so that I don't constantly think that I need something else, something new, something more stylish (like singlets or half-split shorts or special running gloves). Not only are there more important things to do with my money, but want to be able to enjoy running even if I can't indulge the equipment aspect of it.

Speaking of running, I did some of that this morning.
Total: 6 miles in 46:00, or 7:40 pace
Details: It was right around 40 degrees, and though a bit chilly, I decided to wear just a t-shirt and shorts (and gloves) because that's what I'll be wearing for the race which should be in similar conditions.
