Let's Talk Fashion

One more long run before the big day! I hope to make it 9 miles this weekend and then taper down to 6 next weekend, the final weekend before race day. Here is the outfit I have decided on for race day.
No, I'm not this skinny in it, but a girl can dream, can't she? I'm making sure to wear this on my weekend long runs to get used to it and make sure it's comfortable with minimal chaffing...some people make the mistake of buying a brand new outfit just for race day but I've seen what that can do to people and it ain't pretty.

I've got my white running cap to block out the sun and my pink Oakley's my husband got for me for my birthday last year. The capris are tight but I prefer that over loose shorts so nothing is rubbing where it shouldn't be. And, as for the pink shirt, I know it doesn't fit in the whole running4landon color scheme, but I couldn't find anything blue and yellow that was cute, my size, and appropriate for running. So, I settled on the bright pink, a complete contrast to the color of asphalt so that if I end up face down on the pavement, I'll be easy to spot.

I'll also be loaded down with my ipod, possibly gloves and ear cover (determined by weather), a hydration belt, a knee brace, a sports bra, special UnderArmour underwear (that have a tendency to give a wedgie on the right side only), and of course my trusty shoes and socks. Wait a second...is it me or does all this seem like a lot of crap to lug around 13.1 miles?.....

So if you dare come out that day, look for the bright pink shirt (my face will also be a similar shade of fuchsia). Happy New Year everybody!
