I am culling the herd :) Much of this stuff hasn't been worn. Anything too worn (or that looks worn) is going to Goodwill, I wouldn't pass it off to anyone I know.

I have a lot of run skirts (I used them for summer/going for walks), I preferred one style over another so the ones I didn't like as much didn't get worn. I also have a lot of run/technical fabric shirts. Some are cuter than others. Most everything is by Brooks. I have a fair amount of race shirts, too. While I 100% understand not wearing a shirt of a race you didn't do, they make good base layers due to being technical fabric. The race shirts haven't been worn.

Most everything is womens size large. I'll take everything to the Goodwill if nobody wants them but thought I'd check first. I'm still going through it all too - will probably amount to a huge old hefty bag of run clothes when I'm done.

If you are interested, have questions, or know of a charity that would appreciate them (vs one who just turns around and sells them) please contact me at: teig26.2 at google mail.

Watcha mean, plodster? The subject, "Tons of womens", means "many females (possibly robust)". "Run clothes" means they are moving clothes around the area quickly, and the ", free" clearly means they aren't charging for the service. Must be one of the new companies from that KniqxxxxKnaqxxxxKnoq web site.

hahahahaha. My fault for being rushed!!! Maybe this goes back to the Bellingham Biddy thread.

biophile, nope. I need to downsize and have an other order coming in so I am attacking this in earnest. Do you have any ideas where this stuff could go?

How about that group that does prom dresses and business clothes for women? Also, there's a women's shelter right by us: New Beginnings.

Teigyr!! I'll take them if you still have them. I am training for my first 1/2 marathon and could use some new training gear.

Ditto -- I thought the title was referring to the growing trend of charity undie runs.

I'm not sure if they would be interested, but what about Girls on the Run? http://girlsrun.org/
Non-profit that helps build self-esteem, etc, through running programs.

Quercus, good idea! Unfortunately, I don't think they can use this stuff. I volunteer for them and have been able to provide other items as I can though. It is an excellent program. I'll check out New Beginnings but my guess is most of it will go to Goodwill and someone will be starting a thread about that just like new race shirt made of spiffy technical fabric and it was a steal at $2. I'd rather just give people things than give it for resale (though that helps people too) but it seems the easiest thing to do bag what's left over and dump it at Goodwill. It can be their problem.

IMHO old exercise clothes need burned so the spirits the live in them can be set free.

How about the "R Shoppe" on Ballard Avenue? It is the fund-raising shop for the Ryther Child Center, which has been around for @100 years, and serves abused and abandoned children. Originally an orhpanage, it now deals with children who have been the victim of sexual or physical abuse.

http://www.ryther.org/

All proceeds from their store go directly to the children. All employees are volunteers. I'm happy to pick up stuff and take it in if you don't want to. (I have some stuff to take them tomorrow anyway.) Goodwill gets a ton of stuff; Value Village ditto (and is a for-profit store). Ryther depends mainly on the donations of their guild members.

I tried to send you an email and it bounced back. Shoot me an email at juliepa email blarg dot net.

Thank you so much! Let me know when it would be convenient, and where to pick up. Do you need a tax receipt?
