This is a fun topics to write about! Sometimes I like to try new brands but for the most part am very loyal and stick to the brands I like and trust. Here is a list of my favorite running brands.
🟣 Brooks – By now you all know my love for my Brooks shoes. Yep, that is all I wear for running. Currently I am running in the Ghost 12 and have a few new pairs in boxes along with the Launch. Based on the boxes I have I am estimating that I have enough pairs to wear in 2021.
🟣 Oiselle – All of my running clothes except my sports bra and socks are from Oiselle. I will admit they’re not cheap but there have been some sales take place where I take advantage and buy what I want or want. :-). I am a huge fan of the long roga shorts and the lightening layer.
🟣 Smartwool, Balega, and Lily Trotters – These are the socks I wear for running and even during the day. I also like to wear Lily Trotters with shorts.
🟣 Koala Clip – I’ve been using this for over a year on every single run to carry my phone. Sometimes I add my keys in there when there are no pockets in the tights I am wearing. Check out Kim’s post for a review.
🟣 Garmin – I have the 225 and get data such as heart rate, average pace, distance, pace, and time. That is all I need. Lately I feel like it isn’t correctly properly anymore and yesterday I ordered the 235. It should arrive on Wednesday and I am excited about it. The photo below is from 2015. Check out that pace!
I also had the 305. Ha! I think I still have it somewhere.
🟣 Headsweats – I first heard about them from Marcia. Thanks, friend! I wear these hats a lot during the Summer. They keep the sun and sweat out of my eyes and I love the fun and variety designs.

I just saw on Insta that you’re a Koala Clip ambassador! Congrats 😉 (And thanks for the shout-out for my review). You probably know I’m also a Brooks gal, too. I think I should get fitted since my stress fracture…my right foot feels like it’s bending weird (probably will eventually self-correct), but I’m concerned about running with it that way for the time being.
Thanks, Kim. I am excited about it! Good idea on getting fitted again.
Hey, thanks for the Birthday giveaway — that’s so sweet.
I love Brooks too. I do like Oiselle (shhh!), but of course Skirt Sports even more. Love Smartwool & Balega too!
Good luck in the giveaway! I did the same one last year. Seems we like similar things.
I am sure you will like the Garmin 235. I had mine for quite a while until it somehow got water inside it. Now I have the 245 and I’m dazzled with all the stats that it delivers.
Love that you’re doing a give-away for your special day!
The 235 is very similar to the 225. I noticed that the newer one has a feature for indoor running, race predictor, and VO2 calculator or something like that. I will use it today for the first time.
Enjoy it! 😊
Obviously Skirtsports for most everything except socks – Balega or smart wool and for compression sleeves Zensah or Legend.
Shoes change with the injury lol
I do like Brooks meanies and caps.
I love my 205.
Luckily I have not had to change brands of shoes but do rotate between the Launch and the Ghost.
beanies not meanies ha ha
For some reason I knew what you meant. 🙂
Brooks and Oiselle for me too 🙂 Agree that Oiselle can be pricey but I have been able to take advantage of the sales and I love everything I have, and wear the loungewear all the time! Thanks for hosting the link-up!
I love it when there are sales!
We’re in sync when it comes to Brooks products 🙂 I also love headsweats visors too. Thanks so much for the hosting this cool giveaway!
No problem! Good luck in the giveaway.
We’re all Brooks lovers LOL
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. I am hoping to see my family in 2021.
Me too! I want to travel too. First place will be Mexico so my mom could go too.
I hope to see my family, my parents, my sister and her children, and my MIL. I have not ever tried Brooks for sneakers. I have been loyal to Adidas for many years but had to switch it up to years ago because I needed new sneakers for a 50k and non one had my Adidas in stock locally so I went with some Saucony that I had used before, just the newer model!
Saucony are great shoes too. I like the Kinvara.
Next year I want to travel. First place will be Mexico. I have not been there is many years.
Brooks are also my go to brand of shoe! I’ve heard good things about the Oiselle shorts I should check those out. Balega socks are the best. Happy birthday!
Thanks, Deborah. We like similar things. Do check out the shorts.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I agree with all of your picks – great choices! I have never tried any Oiselle items though. I need to get on that!
Good luck in the giveaway! Do check out the Oiselle items. I think you will like them.
I just tried Oiselle’s flyaway tank–there was a FB special, so I ordered it. Now I want more!
Happy Birthday, Zenaida!
I love that tank. It is perfect for Summer running!
