Four Cool Runners

... and one skinny dork.
Notice anything odd about the "freaky" guy, top row left?

One these things doesn't belong!

(UPDATE: There is something different on me. Can you spot it?
Hint: I need someone to help me dress)

Your shirt is on backwards. -
BINGO!
I didn't intend to wear this shirt, but since it was a very nice "high tech" runner's tank, special stay dry material, I decided to change at the last minute. It came in the run "package".

Usually they give you a cotton tee shirt for a souvenir, and you can't run in hot weather in a cotton shirt, it gets wet with sweat and never dries.

Later, when they were selling extras, one of the girls in our group said she wanted one for a friend, but not like the one I had on. I said they were all the same, then someone else said, yeah ,yours is different....... because you're wearing it backwards. I laughed and said that after all it was a retro run, so wearing it backwards was appropriate. "Retro" the adjective means from a past era, but "retro-" the prefix, means backwards.

So, no problem, I was being retro.

  7. There's something special tucked under your shirt? Looks like a dork calculator to me. As for the guy - uh, is he wearing mauve lipstick?

  8. PoP - Perhaps you need to come back to this picture after some coffee.

    Supergirlest - I wouod not run if chased ;). The problem is nobody is chasing me.

    Nancy - The dork is right there. It's hard for "real" friends to see. LuvYa2 XoXoXoX

    allison - No, it's the same shirt as everyone else is wearing.

    angry - Yes, the facial hair is gone, but just for the weekend. Sometimes I just shave everything off and start new. I have already grown the goatee back
