My dad’s family is from Alabama and they are always “fixin” to do something. Seemed appropriate on the eve that I become a runner. I showed Melissa a “rub mark” on my side from where I wore my iPod on my waist band last week. No more wearing things on my waist band. But rub marks are the sign of a runner.
Tomorrow Ebear is running with me along with two women who are runners and are married to co-workers. I have been assured by two folks that I will be paced correctly to run this thing at an 11:30 pace. Tonight in preparation I carbed up on some lo mein at the local Chinese buffet. Before you balk, remember I like my food and trying to maintain my waist line while running. Makes it more fun that way. Any skinny guy can run, but to be my size and complete a 5k is a real accomplishment. Besides the pasta I had some bananas too. I have a real fear of cramping up.
For the fun of it I thought I might detail the technicals of my running attire. I have seen some other running bloggers do this. So click below for the specs on my run.
Shoes. Saucony. I have wide feet and Melissa prefers them. The Cohesion xt600.
PeggyLehner campaign t-shirt. Marketing is marketing.
Running shorts by somebody that Melissa found while shopping. They are sporty.
iPod Shuffle. Need I say more. Gotta have the tunes.
Socks. Cool No shows with super arch support.

I think I am going to wear a shirt that says
“He is forcing me to vote for her”
As we run together.
