I went running in the cold yesterday, thinking to make a Running Commentary Post, but then, well, got distracted. This morning I realized, it is just about time to make this blog All Reindeer Run 5K All The Time. The big race is THIS SATURDAY! Am I ready? I guess I have to be.
One of my all-time favorite pictures.
This was taken before the race in 2017. I will probably wear that same T-shirt but do not know where my Santa hat is. I suppose I could pick up another one at a dollar store, but I have another alternative in mind.
I was pretty proud of myself at the time.
In 2018 I visited a dollar store before the race and picked up the garland and bells to enhance my ensemble. The hat was enhanced with a few things I had around the house. I happen to know where the hat is but would need to search for the bells and garland. A co-worker urged me not to wear the bells, saying it would drive my fellow runners crazy. I argued that it would encourage them to run faster. In fact, most of them run faster than me with no encouragement on my part.
Wardrobe suggestion for after the race.
Rather than share another race photo, I offer this from December 2016. I still have the gold lame top. I have the high-heeled boots, too, but question my ability to walk very far in them. Some people would say, suffer to be beautiful. I don’t know that I will dress up and go out after the run, having few places to go and nobody anxious to accompany me. Then again, I am not shy about going places alone. I usually find somebody to talk to, and it often makes a good blog post.
In the meantime, I have reached 300 words on this topic. Score! Once again, I thank you for tuning in.
