But I still have 94 monkeys to go

I don’t NEED a new pair of capris to run the marathon in, but I would really like some with more storage. Got any recommendations? 

Here’s my wish list: 

• Black, but some kind of colored detail is OK
• Knee-length or nearby
• Some kind of performance fabric - ie, not cotton
• Drawstring, not just elastic
• At least 2 secure close pockets, but the more the merrier — this is where all my existing bottoms have failed me
• Cost… lower is better but features are more important. 
• Obviously, on sale now or very soon so I can test them out before M-Day 
• Brand is not really important, nor is clothing made specifically for running
• Did I mention pockets? Because, those. 

How did people shop for clothing before there was the Internet?! Related, how irritated should I feel that the running store where I get my shoes doesn’t carry ANY shorts, even ugly ones, in a women’s large?

My current running shoes (Asics Gel Kayano 17s) are inching up toward the 300-mile mark. I also occasionally rotate in my previous 17s (inching up toward 500 miles) for short runs, because they don’t feel thrashed yet, although I wouldn’t wear them for more than a 4-miler. They don’t make this model any more (pour one out) and I’ve stockpiled 1 pair of those, and 1 pair of the GT-2160s (same year, slightly less padding).

If I have 2 brand-new pairs of shoes with which to start marathon training, plus my current kicks, am I covered? There are still a few pairs of 17s out there at discount, but the stock is getting few and far between. I could switch up to the 18s but would rather do that sooner, rather than late in marathon training. Should I buy more shoes?
