@MobyCarp Yes, absolutely. It’s a nighttime half. Blinky Christmas lights are a priority for everyone’s safety. The race organizers recommend headlamps but I bet I can get away with a strand, or 5, of LED Christmas lights.

Oh, you ordered them! I am jealous. I wanted to but, apparently, I spent all my money accidentally signing up for three races. Sigh. According to my husband, family, friends, acquaintances and coworkers, I might go a “little” bit overboard for the holidays. Lol I need to find a Christmas running outfit for my December…

No, I live in Texas. When cold, fluffy, wet stuff threatens to fall from the sky we all freak out and shut down the city.

@shanaber I never realized that I need a pair of ugly Christmas sweater running shoes until right now... ;) Look, there is even a matching running outfit! Don't worry guys. They have ugly Christmas sweater running shorts for you too:

@mbaker566 Wait, they gave out cinnamon rolls instead of medals? That is my kind of race. ;) Great job! Oh, cute puppies!!!!

Awesome! Sounds like you had a wonderful time! Congrats!

@garygse Although your (very-much) (more-awesomely) faster than me, I get your runner's dilemma. It's amazing-weather running-season in Texas! You don't want to waste that! We get so little of it. However, all the holiday foods (and family) only come around once a year. I hope you enjoy the crud out of your holiday,…

@martaindale Woot! another "heavy glistening person" in this thread! I think @PastorVincent mentioned he was in this awesomely glistening group as well.... LOL One lady in my running group consistently tells me I am blessed with an, "efficient cooling system". Ugh. She has the best intentions, however, I feel like it's a…

I am seriously bleeding empathy for you right now. My office is currently the building tornado shelter - no windows and in the center of the building. World War 3 could be going on outside and I wouldn’t know. It gets depressing walking into work on beautiful mornings. I miss entire rare Texas beautiful days. It’s enough…

@Elise4270 Monthly Question: What have I done for my tomorrow self? This is a hard question for me! I don’t run for my “tomorrow self”. I run to keep my current self sane. ;) Well, I guess I recently helped my future self... I just told my boss at my second job (I work one full-time and a separate half-time job) that I had…

11/1 = 18 miles I have been running... but I have not checked in here since my half last Saturday. I hope everyone is having fun racing/healing/running/training! I am a billion posts behind. I did my first (1 of 2) 18 mile training run this morning. So, right NOW I am laying on the couch elevating my sore legs (that are…

@AprilRN10 Ditto. I tried everything. The only thing that works (for me anyway- believe it or not) is this cheap sports bra. If they ever discontinue it I am going to cry. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H6BVSKC?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Haha, this is why I throw away all but my last 3 pairs of running shoes. It is easy to lie to yourself encourage your shoe problem collection hobby if you can't see them lurking in the closet. ;)

Oh no! So sorry! That sounds painful. :( I have my fingers crossed it is an easy surgery with minimal recovery.
