 Posted: 08/09/04 - 19:51 Post subject: Loyalty to product brands
My shoes are always asics.
I am loving right now, under armour shirts and similar type fabrics.
Shorts do not matter, no real preference
Thorlos for the socks.
I have been running too long to mess with good things that work.
Anyone else here very brand specific.

Must have Mizuno Legend shoes. I'm pretty flexible with everything else.

SHOES: If it doesn't say "NIKE AIR KANTARA II" on the outside of the box they will not go on my feet. Ms. Poky will witness this, no doubt.
SPORTS BRAS: Champion Shape t-back for long runs since they discontinued my beloved underwire favorite one. Champion Action Tech for short ones (8M or less). No negotiation allowed because no bounce occurs.
NUTRITION: ClifShots in chocolate only. Swedish Fish. Thermolyte tablets. Blue (Powerade or Gatorade, I just like blue).
EVERYTHING ELSE: whatever is cheap, and whatever fits. Looks like this winter I will have to replace all of my racing gear again, for the second year in a row, because it's all too big.

ASICS for shoes.
Gatorade
Several others, those just come to mind. I like sticking with what works.
I edited out the other preferences to leave running related only... I thought we were in the RR.

Gotta love those private label wicking technical tops from Talbots....
I have two shoe preferences right now, Asics & Mizunos.
Bras, it's not brand neccessarily, it's what does not chafe right now-Hanes and Champion.
Socks are Coolmax from Walmart.
Running shorts are some no-name from Kohls but they work, and I'm tired of washing running clothes every 3 days, so I need to buy a couple more.
Tops are whatever wicking type I've found on sale, preferably in a nice bright color.
BodyGlide does win out over the generic petroleum jelly.

Is that because it won't start?

I notice lately I have a lot of asics things, shorts, shoes, socks....but I'm only loyal until the next update doesn't fit right.
