Simplify: One of Thirty

One of the things on my list is to get rid of 30 things I don't need anymore. This is mostly because Jason and I live in a tiny apartment with too many things. There is so much clutter and not enough closet space. I know so many people who function just fine in a much smaller living space so I think we're doing something totally and completely wrong. When I first put this on my list I meant to get rid of physical "stuff" to make our apartment a more comfortable place to live. But then I did something that felt very freeing and thought, why can't I put this toward my list?

A few weeks ago I got rid of my gym membership! The truth is, I hadn't gone in months and every month when that statement came in I was flushing good money down the toilet. My husband is a runner and absolutely refuses to pay for a gym membership. The world is his gym and if he can brave the elements for a quick run then so can I! I'm very nervous about joining him for outside runs, but it will be fun to have a running buddy for once.

I am so used to running in a controlled environment so I will probably have to invest in new sportswear. Any tips on cold climate running gear? My Guiness sweatshirt, although warm and fuzzy, just isn't cutting it!

My beloved Guiness hoodie. Great for a Friday night, not so great for a winter run.
