Besides the fact that why should anyone care what others are wearing, the author clearly effed up when they chose a cancer survivor to ridicule. <br /><br />Granted, I could not care less what anyone wears to a race. In fact, I think that because we see things like tutus and costumes means your Average Joes are getting off their asses and doing something active. If they're having fun and doing something good for themselves, who cares how they get it done?! It's the same as when people complain about 6-7 hour marathon finish times. Why does this bother people?! Don't they have better things to care about?! You know what first gave me the idea that maybe I could complete my first half? I happened to be at a conference in Vegas during RnR Vegas and I noticed so many runners did not look like what I thought a runner would look like. They looked like me! If they could do it, so could I! It wasn't the elite runners that had me thinking I could do it.<br /><br />Wow, I just totes hijacked your page. Sorry, Abs! I should blog about this, lol!<br />Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412864659613068146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277843615899886596.post-43221422002911212202014-03-31T15:11:33.529-04:002014-03-31T15:11:33.529-04:00Seriously, the tutu thing really killed me.

I...Don't even get me started on SELF magazine! I'm still in an outrage (and completely saddened) about that! Ugh. I have run all but 2 of my races without sporting a sparkle skirt and honestly, those were 2 of my worst races! (and both in Queens...why does my own borough hate me?!?!)<br /><br />I'm still debating doing the Oakley Women's Mini 10K. I like the idea of a women's focus race that doesn't involve 2 laps on the HILLS OF DOOM, although 1 lap is bad enough lolKelliehttp://willrunforears.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277843615899886596.post-70694855763537700362014-03-28T07:14:17.303-04:002014-03-28T07:14:17.303-04:00I do NOT understand the tutu bashing.
