WORKOUT CLOTHES??? 

With the exception of a few well chosen Ralph Lauren jackets and slacks, my wardrobe is 95% casualty/sport/utility/workout attire.

Comfort rules.  Besides, since I work out daily, it saves time.

I never have the excuse of "I don't have my workout clothes".

I'm sure I'm wearing some.

Workout Clothes- Life’s Equalizer

Larry and I've been walking every morning for years and along those walks runnerwe've met so many different people.  Some have become friends; others are acquaintances with whom we stop and chat and have become Facebook friends. And there are others we see on our walks and we always share a wave and a "good morning" nothing more.

It occurred to me that we don't really know much about the walkers we see. One pair of running shorts looks just like the next. We're all out there sweating (or glistening if you're a true southern

lady) and have similar goals...to lose weight, get healthy,enjoy the outdoors and stay fit.

There are no status suits that say "I'm a banker." And I can honestly say that I've never noticed Prada or LV running shoes on anyone.

The other day someone pointed out a daily walker who is a bartender in a big community club. I thought he was retired.

Another walker is a retired NYC policeman who was on the bomb squad. There have been retired lawyers, teachers, a Union head and a jeweler.

The key is we've met and had the pleasure of knowing these wonderful people based not on what they do or who they wore but on something we had in common- what we were doing.  No judgements or preconceptions made.

I don't know- maybe it would be nice if we all started wearing running clothes.

Hi Lenn Harley Ain't it nice that as we get older, we no longer have to dress for success everyday?

Lynn, As I sit at my home office I am wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt. I would not meet a client wearing them ... but like you, I have lots of clothes that are "work out" worthy.

Tammy.  Me too.  I wear sneaks or loafers or winter boots. 

Jay.  Mmmmm.  I haven't "run" for many years since breaking my right ankle showing homes.  I still get plenty of exercize for an old broad.

Bill.  HA!  I haven't dressed for anything or anybody since leaving the government job many years ago.

Kathleen.  I have a few very nice gym sets that are appropriate anywhere anytime.  Comfort is the rule.

Roger.  I'll check it out.

Gary.  It's nice to know who you are.  I do too.

Patricia.  HA!  Those would be an expensive pair for sure.

George.  If you're comfortalbe, that's all that's important.

William.  Rural homes are like that.

Lenn, I am a comfort creature, and my feet MUST be comfortable. I wear clogs most of the time, boots that are warm and comfy, and I used to own ONLY sneakers! As far as clothing goes... comfort there too. I have ways to dress up my outfit but I am not driven by fashion. Some see that as a problem I suppose. 

Comfort is key for me!

Andrea.  I've been known to crawl under porches, up into attics, etc.

Comfort is absolutely #1 for me too.

That said, my bag is Gucci and my loafers Feragamo.

I'm always in style.
