So, for all those people out there who, like me, thought you could run a marathon in a regular cotton t-shirt, you are wrong. And there are more things that runners should buy.
What I have now that I didn't have before:
-2 long sleeve shirts & 1 short sleeve shirt made of polyester
-A winter running jacket
-Winter running pants
-These really nifty things that you apparently put on your sneakers so you can run in the snow:
-A knee brace for when my knees inevitably start to die
-runner's mittens
There are still things on my list (sports bras, polyester tanks, more songs for my ipod), but I'm making good progress.
The unfortunate thing is that eventually I'll have to use all these things. I think I like buying them more.
No running today. Training will begin on the 17th (giving me plenty of time to get over my swollen cheeks). All running up until then will just be for fun. Ha.
