3rd tri-winter running clothes?

I'm used to wearing running tights and a LS wicking shirt with a wicking pullover jacket (slim fit). My plan is to run as long as possible... where are the best places to find maternity running clothes? I might have to switch to regular pants and get used to the fact that the legs are loose. I love the tighter fitting stuff, it's more comfortable IMO!

    I in no way mean to discourage you, because I 100% endorse working out til the end, but I wouldn't stock up on too many winter running clothes just yet.  You may find yourself just too uncomfortable to keep running that late in pg, and in slippery surfaces (icy, slushy roads), you probably won't want to be running in all that with bad balance and loose joints come mid/late 3rd tri.

    However...I agree with pp that for the most part with pants you can keep wearing what you have (assuming they are elastic waist).  I just fold down the front of all my regular gym shorts so they sit below my bump and have no problem.  Shirts are a different story.  If you want to go inexpensive, Old Navy maternity had a decent selection of workout gear.  Since its summer for me, I've resorted to MH's t-shirts for the gym.  I gave up on my fitted workout shirts a long time ago and never bothered to buy new ones.

    I agree with PP...Though I am only 6 weeks into my very 1st,  one of my good friends ran up until she was about 7 months along...she said she stopped cus she didnt like the feel of the baby bouncing around.  I also had another friends (a MUCH MUCH fitter/skinnier better/faster runner then me) she didn't run at all during her PG, mostly cus I think she had a miscarriage and didn't want to jinx it.  But on the plus side, both friends got back into running (look stunning now) and are much faster then before their kids.

    But I do hope that you are able to keep going running through out your pregnancy!
