OK- here is an update on the running tally, or how much I have spent on this marathon so far...
We left off at $340, and the new additions are (drumroll please)...
~NEW SHOES!!! $53 (with tax and the $50 gift card I got from the Sweetheart Run) - this will always be the favorite expenditure, especially since my knees have not hurt since I've run in them (we'll see after this 15 miler on Saturday if I'm still happy). I've been an ASICS fan for the last few years, but I won a Brooks gift card so that's what this latest pair is. I may be a convert...
~$4 maps of the trails around town with mileage
~$12.95 pair of Smartwool running socks
~$14 pair of running socks (both pairs of socks have been an attempt at blister prevention (these $14 ones did not work) but I had a $9 dividend at REI and a %20 off coupon, so they ended up costing about $3
~$7 in GU and Cytomax (sugar packet stuff to eat while running and drink mix). This is what the aide stations at the race will have, and I thought I should try it beforehand to make sure it doesn't give me explosive diarrhea or anything scary
~$7 hot pink running shirt for race day
~$1 hot pink flower for my hair for race day (what has happened to me???)
~ $30 multiple boxes of blister cushion band-aids (Target's Up and Up brand is the best) and one bottle of New- Skin and a roll of moleskin
Which brings the total to $457.95
DON'T TELL MATT! (Just kidding- I told him today he's my sponsor. I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes, and I'm pretty sure that he's going to refer to this list someday when he wants to buy a new mtn bike)
