Advent Day 9

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 [personal profile] ell

Leg 2: The Cock & Pan Leg - 5.5 miles [personal profile] 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 [personal profile] temve

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

In addition, [personal profile] thalia and maybe [personal profile] 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?

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.
