Expensive Hobbies
2009 November 4
New running shoes, outdoor winter running apparel, and sports bras seem to always be on my list of wants/needs. As you guys know being fit can be an expensive hobby. Especially when it comes to running outside in the winter. When I truly need something, I spend quite a bit of time looking for affordable gear. I can now save time because I signed up for Shop it To Me Running.
This free service searches leading sports retailers for sale items so I don’t have to. After signing up, I set my preferences for the items I’m shopping for and the size I need. I immediately entered in my favorite pair of running shoes in my size. When one of those items goes on sale Shop it To Me Running sends me an email alert. Easy, peasy!
Hopefully a pair of these will be on sale before the end of the year.
Now, if I could only find someone to search camera sell ads for me. My camera stopped letting me download photos on Sunday. I think I just have to break down and buy a new one.

Thanks for posting this. I’m gonna sign up!
Sounds like a great site! Thanks for the information. I will take a look at it for sure. Do you ever look at Holabridsports.com? That is where I order my running shoes, for cheap!
I have those shoes! I bought them because I thought my back pain was a support problem when I was running.
That sounds like a great site…I am going to go check it out.
Ha I have the same kicks =)
I love Shop it to me! My husband and I both signed up for running apparel since it’s so darn expensive!
I desperately need new sneakers and quality ones this time.
i go thru soooo many pairs of shoes, like every 3-4 mos, another nearly $140-150 on Nikes. I need to sign up for something to help me save some $ !!
Awesome post. Thanks for sharing the link. I’ve been needing a few running items, so I am going to look into this site!
Agreed – being fit can be expensive! It’s definitely a worthwhile investment though.
