My half marathon is a month away, February 24. Despite it being cold and dark out (uninspiring running weather) I've been pretty good about training. I was very happy with my 13.1 mile long run last weekend that I completed in 1:38, my fastest time ever for that distance, including previous races. I wasn't even too tired at the end, def. could've pushed it harder in a real race. As I was hoping to break 1:40 in this upcoming race, I think this should easily happen (maybe I can even hit 1:35?). That will be a good start to the half marathon series that I will be competing in this year. I have no chance of actually doing well in that series, but it is a neat thing to compete in anyway, and they give away a free jacket for all those who run the three races.
With running under control, my only real thing to think about now is my costume for the race. I will be SUPER VEGGIE GUY. What does this mean? I have no idea. The costume must be running functional but cool at the same time. I will be heading over to The Garment District this weekend to see if there's any cool outfits to wear. If not, they have custom t-shirt making abilities there. There's also a custom t-shirt shop literally 50 feet from my house. An easy one to wear would be this guy from CafePress. Maybe a home made cape 'EAT YOUR VEGGIES!' will compliment a funny shirt as well. Maybe a veggie hat to boot as well? Any ideas?

I think the Super Veggie Guy costume idea is awesome!
I agree! The costume is a fantastic idea!
Hey, that's an awesome time - especially for a practice run! Wow! You're gonna rock that half-mary :-) Can't wait to see what you come up with for the costume!
