WHERE did November go? Geez. Well, I'll just call it an unplanned off-season from the blog. The whole month was a bit of a blur, but I love this time of year for one big reason: it offers lots of excuses to dress up for swim/bike/run. I take full advantage:
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Drumstick Dash - 3rd Masters, 21:46
Santa swim suit (photo from last year; I look faster in it this year, haha ;-)
Did you ever think about how running gives us opportunities to basically dress like little kids? Anything goes!! Case in point:
You can run dressed like a princess, banana, Star Wars character, Green man, etc and no one thinks it's strange. See this website with Best Race Costumes for more.
You can run in light-up shoes!
You can mix-and-match colors, prints, stripes, plaids, polka dots...clash all you want because it's all about performance and comfort.
Embrace that inner child -- dress like him/her, and run with that free-flowing form that kids naturally exhibit.
Have fun with it! It's our time to play!
