For the record, I'm really impressed with those of you who have kept shirts intact for 20 years. Or even 10. I can't do it.

I run in my Bandera 100k jacket every day this time of year. It is black, so I can wear it with anything and it is cut for a woman and is flattering (aka slimming). Plus it may be my favorite race so I am very proud to wear its logo. I like The Race That's Good for Life (5k, Oak Park, IL) women's shirt for the same reason, it has a great cut. I like wearing my Pikes Peak Marathon shirt at races where there are small bumps or hills that induce a lot of whining (I wore it at last year's Boston). It has magical powers. Nobody complains to me about 35 foot climbs when I have it on.

I got a jacket when I completed the California Dreamin' series. You had to complete some combination of half or full in San Francisco, Surf City (Huntington Beach) and Long Beach. I did the half in San Fran and Surf City. I did Long Beach last and completed the full. The jacket is a really nice windbreaker, black with a small logo on the front. It reminds me of what I was able to accomplish!
Today I wore a Nike Dri-Fit I still have from '95 or '96. I think that's when they first started coming out, right?
Just last summer, I finally retired my '93 State Track Meet t-shirt. It would have made a great wet t-shirt contest shirt...even in a contest without the water.
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

if KOB carries me the length of the Monkey - all will be forgiven. Because there sure ain't any other way I'd make it to the finish...
Maybe he can push you in a stroller? Are strollers allowed at the monkey?
I like this idea. It is the only way I can compete with him in a race.
Are you sure you want this though, Brat? Have you ever seen how the women are carried in the wife-carrying races? That might be rough over the course of a marathon.

I have underwear that old
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

That's different. Underwear doesn't get pit stains.

They are doing it wrong.
I fly.
I just ran in my Reach the Beach shirt from 2001. It is no longer white, but more of an off-white, but it doesn't look too terrible.
Bring it on.

So you have to be shaken a lot, upside down, perhaps to drop on your head, while smelling man ass.
There is NOTHING good that can come of this.

After the monkey, and after the beer tent, I will be offering "rides" to any girl that needs one.
