3 Things Thursday

  1. You know you're a runner (living in the North) when... even though by most standards it's a perfectly crappy day out (gray, overcast, slushy, puddle-tastic), you still find yourself thinking it's a great day to run because you're not wearing a jacket and the snow is melting. (Until tonight when we get 2-5 more inches... FML is it Spring yet?!??!)

  2. Self Control... I don't know what my deal is but I've been falling off the healthy train at the end of every single day this week! I would be doing so good and then I'd get home and mindlessly raid Spike's candy bowl. This is completely out of character for me when I'm training. I typically swear off all things unhealthy until I've ran that little 26.2... and THEN I eat my weight in chocolate-peanut-butter-y goodness! This Redhead needs some serious self control!

  3. Favor... Ok so this is kind of an odd request but the Half Marathon I'm doing in April is famous for it's incredibly ugly shirt and today they posted on FB that if they could get up to 1,000 followers they'd release the shirt art. Will you do me a huge favor and go "Like" their page? If for no other reason than to see if this year's shirt can top these "gems":

    Come on, you know you want to see if they could possibly be any worse than these!!!

The torn up shirt is all kinds of hilarious.

Heather @ Dietitian on the Run said...

Um, My comment disappeared??

Anywho, I hope it warms up for you SOON (C'mon michigan, cooperate here!). I want spring too, and summer, and just anything that represents warmth and endless sunshine during the day ;)

And, I also requested an update to the mystery picture that was posted yesterday!

The one with the alien is DOPE!

Morgan said...

For those who missed it, the mystery picture was Spike's newest obsession: Cheezits w/ Chocolate Frosting.

DISGUSTING!!!

Jessie said...

I take BACK my statement from earlier! THIS IS HORRIBLE! I really didn't think it was possibly this retarded! I don't even think I could sleep in this! Wow!

LindseyAnn said...

Oh my.. that shirt is... oh my.
I hear you on #1. Thankfully, we're not getting the crazy amounts of snow, but I'm ready for what we do have to be G-O-N-E!!!

Nelly said...

wow, that shirt really is horrendous, haha I bet if you wear it on any runs you would get some really weird looks from people!

Evolving Through Running said...

The shirt with the tears in it is AWESOME. I'd do the race just to get that shirt, or buy it if they'd sell it. Love it.

Spike said...

Worst shirts ever.

EVER!

Chip LeDuff said...

Just liked their page for you!! Good luck!! :)

Detroit Runner(Jeff) said...

Ah, yes, the Martian. I'm thinking of maybe volunteering for this!

Ironman By Thirty said...

I'll have to take a picture of last year's shirt because as ugly as those two are, last year's was worse. Those at least are semi-artistic. Last years we just poop.

Ironman By Thirty said...

And now I just went to their Facebook page. Last year's shirt was white with the logo used in their profile picture. I guess it isn't hideous, my shirt was just WAY too big so I have never worn it.

Marlene said...

If there was a candy bowl in my vicinity, it would not stand a chance! I have will power only in a very controlled environment. I think it's the weather... just makes you want TREATS!

Oh my, those are some funky shirts. Can't wait to see this year's design. :S

That Pink Girl said...

Every time I open your blog from Reader and see the photo of you in the header, the one of you in your Winter gear and tutu, I laugh. It cracks me up beyond belief. Love it! I certainly hope you have that framed somewhere!
And those shirts. Uh, wow. Just wow.

Her Name Is Rio said...

Falling off the diet train....you and me both. Don't know what's going on this training cycle, but we'll get it back in check!

running seal said...

Horrible shirts! So much potential. Sad.

My parents live in Ann Arbor and I almost came home to run this race, but then the shirts scared me! Kidding! There ended up being a half the exact day right in nyc which was much more convenient!

Runeatrepeat said...

I actually like those shirts :)

I'm going to start saying "hills are for heroes" because my next race is hilly and I am bad at that.

The Laminator said...

You need to save these shirt photos for an ugly shirt photo contest. Seriously =)

FML x 2; Enough of this black ice crap...where's spring?

Wifey said...

Um, yeah. Those are pretty bad. Must go like.

Winks & Smiles,

Silly Girl Running said...

Those shirts have to be the funniest race shirts I have ever seen! And the fugliest. ;)

KT80 said...

Does everyone get one of those shirts for the race or is it a contest to see who shows up in the ugliest shirt? -KT80 www.traininglikeagirl.blogspot.com

Jogging with Fiction said...

Shannon said...

Those shirts are horrible!

Btw, I just added the workouts I could remember on DailyMile... I always, always forget about that thing!

Kathrin said...

Debbie said...

I am eating worse lately than ever in my life. I'm blaming it entirely on the weather.

Stephanie said...

gotta love the martian shirts. I have yet to wear mine...from 2009!

Have you happen to see the shirts from last year? They are very nice looking! Lets hope we get lucky and get a nice shirt.

Run Jess Run said...

Those shirts are so ugly, but I will wear it like a badge of honor:)

Vaudiophile said...

I was disappointed in how normal the Martian shirt was this year, but it's still my first half and I've been wearing it proudly. I just wish the front and back glowed in the dark to make up for its plainness.
