Preparedness

Anyone who says that running is a cheap sport because you don't need any equipment obviously doesn't know what the heck they are talking about! Just throw on some shoes and go my eye!!!

• I had to go out and buy the most expensive shoes I have ever bought (really)
• I had to go out and buy running shorts
• I had to go out and buy shirts that are "technical" shirts so that they make me feel "dry" when I'm really a sweaty mess
• I had to go out and buy socks that have no cotton in them so that moisture can be wicked away so I don't get blisters
• I got a blister anyway (so much for the expensive shoes and wicking socks!) so now I have to tape my toe
• I have to put sunblock on
• I have to put body glide on because my new shorts rub me weird
• I went out and bought a watch that times me, measures my heart rate and infuriates me when it tells me my recovery rate is FAIR (I'll give you fair you stupid piece of...)
• I have this band thing that attaches to my sunglasses so they don't fall off my face
• I have this little pouch that attaches to my shoe so that I can carry my keys
• I wear the COOLEST hat that says GRCGLA Rescue on it
• I have my iPod
• And, about 10 Kleenex because my nose runs faster than I do.

Running... has turned me into a geek! Or as some who know me might say...has made me ADMIT that I am a geek!

Be well friends!

Geek out!
