marathon week pt.3 - swag

Look at these effing hipsters ...

... a.k.a my uber cool parents gearing up to sing happy *early* birthday to their Fool. Seriously, I want to be just like them when I grow up. After hipster parents made my day, it was off to the marathon expo.

I am:

5 boroughs + NYC skyline = coolest.race.shirt.ever

hand sanitizer - ultimate swine flu fighter.

pen - for swiping the telephone numbers and email addresses of cuties.

key chain - to prove I can run the distance I just drove.

temporary tattoo - to identify a stray runner in their state of delirium as well as a reminder to never buy running shoes at Foot Locker.

Subliminal message that 1 donut can set you back 26.2 miles? hmmm...

Timex clock on refrigerator waiting for my finishing time to be peeled away and proudly displayed.

Post race par-tay invitation. (Fool will not be dropping it like it's hot. Perhaps I can grace the dance floor with a little two step? We shall see.)

NOT SWAG...
as in, things-that-are-too-feckin'-expensive-but-too-cute-to-resist. The Fool drooleth over branding her body with more ING New York City Marathon gear.

Race day fanny pack

...and a jacket that should read "Not going to get over myself anytime soon"

What a perfect day! And to top it all off, I won a pair of Moeben arm warmers from blogger T's giveaway (thank you thank you thank you). Like, is this a sign of great things to come?

I've exhausted myself with excitement. Time to hit the sack!

2 days!
