How many running shorts do younown?

I have 6 but only run in 3 of them. All of them are black.

I have a bunch, probably around 15. I always pick up a couple when I'm around a Nike Outlet. I find the race day shorts there for ~$10, its hard to pass that deal up!

I have 7 or 8, and I'm always on the lookout for cheap new ones. If you run daily, 5 is a joke -- you'd be doing laundry more than once a week!

I have a bunch as well (around 15), but some of them I've had for 7-8 years. I'd say on average I'll get one pair per year, and only ditch a pair once the elastic is completely gone.

I have about 8. I'll use mine till I get a hole in the lining and my dick falls out. I've found washing my shorts in the shower instead of the washing machine/dryer extends their life by alot.

Haha. I have two kids and my wife and I are doing laundry non-stop. Literally.

I think that I have 8 pairs if I am remembering correctly, but i only run in about 4 of them. There is one pair that I will try to run in any chance I get. Of course they were a sugoi short that got discontinued

I have 8, the first 5 I ever got were free cause my college team was getting rid of all its adidas stuff and went to nike. Best free items ever! Proper running shorts make running so much better.

Really? I wash running shorts after, say, 3-5 runs. I just figure that you're going to be dirty after about a mile into the run, so what's the point in having really clean shorts?

To the OP, I have 4, but may be getting some new ones, as I have a good lead on a deal!

More importantly, do you wear underwear under your running shorts? If you do, they don't get too dirty. I only have one pair of shorts now. I used to have two during college.

I currently only have 2 that are usable. I wash them in the shower and just alternate. I should get another pair, but I am quite picky. them daily.I have a third that I use for racing, they are shorter than the training ones.In my younger days I had many more. My favs were the BR (Bill Rodgers) split shorts. They had great colors. I had a bright yellow pair and ones that were sort of maroon, but a shade lighter.

I probably have 12 - 15. A few pair I set aside for races only and have 1 or 2 that I run in ONLY when all others are dirty. I still run out of shorts though.

A bunch, but only 3 that I like. The rest sit in the back of the drawer unless I'm desperate.

I have maybe a half dozen of true "running shorts" but another half dozen or so of longer "athletic shorts" that I don't mind wearing if I'm all out of clean running shorts.

Yeah, I wear tighty-whiteys. If I don't my nuts hang out.

I have 10...so, that makes 5 pairs.

what a hag

my wife makes me buy myself stuff

2, but I only race in one of them so the rest of my runs are uncomfortable long shorts. don't like the inside underwear stuff. shorts and boxer briefs are fine. so i usually look for short soccer shorts.

Man that is a good question. I must own 20-30 pairs, some are well over 10 years old. I'd say I run in maybe 10 or so on a regular basis. Just can't bring myself to getting rid of them. Some have sentimental value to me.
