Advent Day 9

[ell]

As anyone who knows me on FB knows, I am never one to mindlessly pass on ridiculous memes from elsewhere... /sarcasm

...but this one from Runner's World has been up in an open tab for about a week now and I still think some of the gifs are funny, so here you go...

14 Thoughts Every Runner Has During a Cold Run

...also, it looks like some of us are going to meet in Edinburgh at the end of May! (For anyone who can't make it in 2015, I'll be happy to go back in 2016 as well)

The Hairy Haggis Relay has 4 legs:
Leg 1: The Royal Leg - 8.3 miles ell

Leg 2: The Cock & Pan Leg - 5.5 miles linaelyn (unless you want one of the longer or shorter legs - you're traveling the furthest, you get to choose)

Leg 3: The Gosford Leg - 8 miles temve

Leg 4: The Glory Leg - 4.4 miles - either franzi or dancing_serpent (it's only a mile and a quarter more than a 5 k!)

In addition, thalia and maybe blnchflr as well will be running the half marathon.

I'm going to go ahead and take the Captain position on the relay and get us registered if that's ok with everyone. I'll also start scouting out places to stay.

So...group costume ideas?

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can't believe we are going to actually do this!!

[linaelyn]

Thank you for taking Captaincy for this. Hey, I know! I'll buy you the hat. A really big one. ;-D

We could run costumed as... pirates? I'm not overly attached to the idea, as it could be a fiasco to try and run in Pirate gear, but... it's a thought.

PIRATES! AVAST!


...and really bad eggs...

(I was initially thinking sheep...but this - is much better!)

[ell]

I can't either! But it's fun to take things from the realm of - yeah, we should do that someday to the realm of - "here's the registration and the dates, who's with me?"

(also, Tem and I are probably going to go a bit ahead of time to have a wee Scotland adventure. You are more that welcome to join us for whatever time you have free. It will no doubt involve lots of walking, castles, eating strange foods, and generally behaving as touristy as possible without being rude)

Can I join as well??? ;)

I'd love to!!!!!!!!

Also, I'm happy to do the leg, just know I might have to fall back on walking.

Scotland adventures ftw! I'll have more chances staying a few days longer afterwards than going ahead because of how work usually is that time of year, though.
