i love bags.
not necessarily purses (although i do love those too) but i love bags in general. here are two of my favorites!
mile 22 bag
the day before i left to go to CIM i received my mile 22 bag in the mail i had won a month or so before from robinbb. i kind of consider this bag a good luck charm since i did bring it to CIM with me 
these bags are the best idea. you send them your race stuff – shirts, bibs, anything you can think of, and they put it on a bag and send it back to you. i actually had kind of a hard time deciding what to send. how do i pick out of all my race stuff which i wanted on a bag?
well i decided to go with my first marathon – san francisco! first of all, i hated that shirt and never wore it, so that worked out in my favor. then i color copied my bib so i would still have my first marathon bib up on display in my workout room. then i found the course map i picked up at the expo that weekend and decided to include that too, because i just really like their course map… and voila la! it came together into an awesome bag.
they have many different sizes to choose from, but i like the original since it fits more stuff. it has a zip top and pockets on the side. it’s an awesome gift for any runner or for yourself, and i have seen them in the stores at my second home roadrunner sports now too!
go lite travel lite tote
i had seen these bags travelling around the blog world and i was jealous. one thing that can highly increase my love for a bag is pockets… i LOVE pockets and this bag has many!!
i wasn’t expecting this one at all, and a day or two after CIM i had a package waiting at my front door step. i opened the box to find an awesome note from a PR firm that said tall mom mel thought i deserved a bag… seriously??? i cried. i was a tad emotional that week anyways, but this just made my heart smile. thank you again mel <3
i have been using this bag ever since to bring all my things to work with me. its so comfortable to carry, has many pockets, is pretty and is made from recycled material. i love it. you should get one too
i will update my runs in my next post… happy friday peeps!
I love bags too! That is really cool about the Mile 22 bag. I will have to check them out.
Very cool BAGS! One can never have too many
I love the idea of the race bag- so cute!!!
love those bags!
I've got cool bags I never use! I do like the green one, though.
Very cute!! You are so creative. Love the bags.
How have I never heard of the mile 22 bag, I want one!!! What a great use for race bibs!
Isn't Tall Mom Mel the best?!? I had to laugh when you said you color copied your bib…because as I started reading I was thinking "I would hate to part with my favorite race stuff!"
That mile 22 bag is AWESOME!!! How cool!
Very clever. I love that you thought to send the course map. So cool. I'm totally with you. I love bags. I want one so bad from lulumon right now, but I just can't pull the trigger $$$.
Both bags are totally great! I love the course map on the Mile 22 bag, and, yes, I also have a weakness for pockets.
Happy toting!
How sweet is Mel
Both bags look great I love the Go Lite tote carry one myself. 
Have a wonderful weekend.
my mom has called me the bag lady forever!!!! it is a problem- they are all stacked in my closest and sometimes i hear them all falling on the floor because there are too many!
I think that is a sign of a healthy addiction
That Mile 22 Bag is awesome!
bags are wicked great. is there a such thing as too many? if so it probably applies to me!
I'm such a bag lady too! I love any kind of totes, and I even have a lunchbag with owls on it. The mile 22 bag sounds awesome. If I ever do a marathon, I might have to get one!

I wonder if there is a connection between runners and loving bags with pockets! Perhaps it's the Type A in all of us! I love the mile 22 bag; that would be an awesome gift
I loooove the Mile 22 bags too! They are so so awesome. And that tote bag is so super cute!
I have the GoLite bag too. It's great the pockets are AMAZING!
I have quite a collection also! Still use my Northface Endurance Challenge backpack all the time. It's small and has reflective tape on the back – great for on the bike!
Yippee we are bag twins.. I love the mile 22 bag but I am so new to racing that I dont have a bib cool enough that I am ready to give up.
Have a GREAT weekend!
Both bags are awesome. Great finds!
I love bags as well..I need to devise a good way to store them however…so I can have more..
That SF bag is sooooo cute! Now I am jealous! Enjoy your Friday girly!!
I'm obsessed with bags too!!! I love that green one and want it. ITS SO CUTE!!!!!!

I saw those bag kit thingers at my local running store – love the idea!
OMG thanks for posting the link to that bag place! So friggin neat!!!
I want one of those Go-lite bags! I am bag obsessed too! Hope you have a great weekend!
I have that go lite bag, LOVE IT.
Wow, the Mile 22 bag is amazing! Now I want one, scratch that, I want like 8 bags with my race bibs and tees. Love it!
I have to haul stuff around with me all the time, so I often end up carrying multiple bags. Love the mile 22 bag!
I LOVE the idea of the Mile 22 bag!!!! Brilliant!! Might have to get me one of those…. I've been wondering what to do with all my random race bibs… haha
The Mile 22 bag is awesome, and I think I'm going to get one for a running buddy :> have a great weekend!
I must be living under a rock! Never saw them before- great idea!
LOVE the bag idea! How brilliant
great idea! esp for grocery shopping and stuff!
I love the map bag, too cute!
I have the green one. It's so great. The other one is very cute!
Nice bags!
Hmmm, wondering which one you might bring on Sunday.
i love the 'souvenir' bag – too cute. i don't know which race i would submit things from – i'd end up ordering like 12 bags
i looove my golite bag. so handy! sweet of devon to hook you up.
I feel so guilty spending money on bags for some reason. That and shoes. What kind of woman am I?
Great bags! I love the idea of using your race shirts/bibs on a bag. I have a quilt made of old race t-shirts that my mom made me and I absolutely love it.
nice bag!!
The Bib!
