I typically don't do "costumes" for races. While I admit that I do match my running attire for races, I usually don't wear anything outlandish. The Boston marathon is a little different, however. When I ran Boston back in 2009, I was on a mission to find an outfit that would make me stand out (and easy to spot by my family) without wearing something that was difficult to run in.
This is what I came up with:
 |
| Hearts! I also have a the matching sports bra :) |
The outfit made me easy to spot and elicited quite a few comments ranging from "I Love Your Shorts" to "Are you wearing boxer shorts?".
So, I've been on a mission to find another "unique" outfit for this year's race. It's Boston. I want to have fun with it. And, if I don't run well, at least I'll have on a cute outfit for race pictures (ha!).
Here's what I've got - weather permitting that it will work - it's functional and funkadelic :)
 |
| Red sparkles for my hair! |
 |
| Muti-colored sports bra |
 |
| Red Arm Warmers |
 |
| Sparkly Black Shorts (This is not me, by the way). |
 |
| I Love To Run Leg Warmers! |
So, if you're running Boston, and see someone decked out in this outfit, it's me - say hello :)
Are those shorts Lulu?

ReplyDeleteYou are going to look awesome as you kill it at Boston!
You guys definitely have more "bling" options than us boys Erin. I plan on running so fast, nobody we'll notice me anyway :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great for race day - you are going to be one stylish butt-kicker out there.
