Today on Tuesdays on the Run, our topic is “Running items you use for non-running purposes”.
Since I wrote pretty much that exact post last spring, I figured it would be a bit redundant to do so again. And you all know that I haven’t worn anything but Skirt Sports skirts since it warmed up enough to pack away the winter clothes. No surprises there. By the way, don’t miss the last couple of days of the Skirt Sports end of season clearance. (affiliate link) There are some good deals there!
So, what’s a girl to write about? Well, conveniently, today is Amazon Prime Day!
All links below are my Amazon affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I will get a small payment.
I did a little “wish listing” on Amazon. Lately, I’ve been wearing my Garmin 220 as my every day watch. Yeah, that’s a classy look with a work outfit. Of course, I’m dreaming of the much more attractive Garmin Fenix . So pretty. So useful. So out of my current price range, even at the Prime Day deal. Le sigh.
Mama also needs a new pair of shoes and I’ve converted Shoo to the love of the Altra. Amazon has both the Altra Women’s One 2.5 and the Altra Women’s One V3
(the newest version) on sale. Prices range from good to really good depending on size and color. (Why is that? So frustrating when my size is the most expensive and not eligible for the 30% off.)
I also found some good deals on Feetures socks. These are my go to socks for shorter runs or hot summer runs when I don’t want to wear compression socks. I have never blistered in ANY version of these socks, from the lightest elite socks to the heaviest wool.(Again deals vary based on color and size of socks.)
Then I wandered down the rabbit hole to kitchen stuff and electronics and who knows where all else and it quickly became apparent that I could spend the entire Amazon Prime day wandering around the deals.
Do you have any running items you’ve repurposed? Or did you get tripped up by Amazon Prime Day too? If so, what cool deals did you find?

I may need to get some new socks today! Ive started wearing the Altras over the past few months. First I wore the Provisions because I need a little stability, and then when I got orthotics I decided to wear them in the Intuition. They’re so comfortable!
Even though we use the heck out of Prime, I don’t think either of us ever find anything on Prime Day. Although of course I can always use more socks. And shoes. 🙂
Ah Prime day is amazing and awful at the same time. I want to buy everything! But it’s all on sale so it’s OK right? Especially these running items
Oh, that Garmin Fenix! Of course, it’s not on sale today…
I’ll have to let my fingers do the walking, I mean running later on…
I’ve been searching but can’t find the things I needed on Amazon prime today, bummer!
I told myself I wasn’t allowed to even look. Trying my best to be good…
I checked out Amazon for Altra today too! They have the Torin 3 as a deal too!
I need to go look at Amazon Prime right now! Thanks for the heads up!
I sometimes wear my Garmin to work too, but it’s Boulder. I’m not the only one :-p
I really have not been able to find anything to buy on Amazon today that is on the sale. #firstworldproblems
No great running gear deals for me, but I did score some awesome prices for my favorite skincare items so it’s a win for me!
Honestly because I work in a running store I get a better deal on items I purchase from my own store, so I didn’t really do much with Amazon Prime day. I was tempted by a pair of wireless headphones, but I didn’t really feel like spending the money so I didn’t get them. Glad you found some great deals though!
I would love to get the Garmin Fenix but find it to be too expensive. For now I use the 225 and actually like it. It is simple and easy to use. I am always ordering on Amazon Prime but this time did not find anything very cheap to buy. I did buy steel cut oats and Tailwind.
