You are going to love it. I guess I am in coral #23 too. Here's a question: What are you going to wear? LOL!!! </p> <p>Zapotee - You are too funny!! "NEED" is the right word for me these days.</p> <p>Sylvie - Thanks for your input on gear. Hubby got me a belt for my long runs but the one I bought was pretty sleek, not bulky like his. T-shirts will always come in handy so now I can get rid of some old ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569370 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:23:51 +0000 Sylvie 569370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are *not* bad at all. The right gear is very important when you're running. The running belt and glasses will be useful to you for years.</p> <p>(At my first marathon expo, I bought a pair of expensive running shorts because they had special pockets. I'm still using them to this day and they are so perfect that I now own three pairs. Gear is SO worth it) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569329 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:33:07 +0000 Janet 569329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I'm going to make you feel better -- I'm about to purchase a new cap and a mint green running shirt! So much for self restraint! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569283 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:54:48 +0000 rae 569283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh heh, at least these items are related to something you're doing that *does* take control and dedication! Yay for some race souvenirs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569280 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:51:46 +0000 Janet 569280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll definitely look for you! I'm in corral 23 - my estimated finish time is 2:30 also. </p> <p>My husband and I are staying in town at the Willard tonight, and he's taking me to Filomena for an early carbalicious dinner. :-)</p> <p>Thanks for the good wishes, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569272 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:39:13 +0000 Jjsloane 569272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best of luck to both of you for a good race! Sounds like a reward purchase for all the hard work you've invested to get here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569271 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 569271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck on your race! Hey, don't beat yourself up. I do that all the time:) I have concluded I NEED everything...</p> <p>Janet - Good luck to you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569269 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:37:35 +0000 citygirldc 569269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - I'm taking the metro up since I live in the city. BTW, no way am I fast with these short legs. I think I'm toward that back of the coral like 25 or 28. My estimated finish time is 2:30 although I'm sure I'll be done like 2:15. Maybe. This is my first half although I've done tons of 10 milers (and the upcoming Cherry Blossom 10 miler). Are you staying in town?</p> <p>ModGrl - Believe me the items I bought were not a necessity. Sometimes I buy for the sake of buying. I need to stop doing that. It's a disease. LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569216 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:49:43 +0000 modgrl 569216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like those things are necessities! Don't beat yourself up over the things you need to make your race easier. Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-569210 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:41:45 +0000 Janet 569210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL I'm about to head in to pick up mine in about an hour, but my husband will be with me, so maybe I'll be able to resist purchases! </p> <p>I've got jitters for some silly reason. But I just keep reminding myself, I've done this before. </p> <p>Where will you be in the starting corrals? I'll look for you. I'm guessing you're faster than me. I just want to beat my last time, and I'd love to finish in 2:20, but I'll be happy enough with 2:30. Yes, I'm slow! </p> <p>Did you figure out your travel plan for tomorrow morning? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-568864 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:29:47 +0000 Meredith1953 568864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're sinning then we are ALL sinning and beyond redemption! I actually stay away from stores and the mall and everything unless I am prepared to spend. The computer is always nicely within reach though and so many lovely sites to shop. Maybe I should put the computer away....Oh, but then I couldn't post or check on the forum and that would be impossible! I think I'm addicted!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-said-they-were-out-of-control#post-568857 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:23:07 +0000 citygirldc 568857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're out of control, then I'm way out of control. I was at the fitness expo picking up my race packet when I saw running glasses and had to have them, then saw a t-shirt that said A' Runner Girl for St. Patrick's Day since the 1/2 marathon race falls on that day. Then I bought a racing belt to carry my money and sugary goodness for the long run ahead of me. </p> <p>Do I need these things and are they even fashionable? Probably not. What have I done?? Oy!! I'm SOOOO an impulse shopper and I'M A VERY BAD GIRL!!!! </p> <p>Sorry. Just needed to vent. </p>
