Ready For The Long Run...

So, 7 is really not that long, but the longest I have run in 4evas! Checking my dorky Garmin data it has been exactly 8 weeks. Wow, back on September 5th I did 8. That is too long to be away from the long run....

I broke down and got a much needed headlamp. I was holding out and running mostly in the dark at track on Tuesday. Let's face it, when I think headlamp the first vision that pops is my head is John Cusack in "Sixteen Candles" when geek Farmer Ted tells them to take those ridiculous things off. LOL! In the clip below you see two of the geeks in the trunk of a car with their headlamps on. I love that movie, a total classic in my book.








My attempt to take a sexy headlamp picture. HAHAHA! I look beyond geeky!


Best of luck to my Strive Teammates, and Wes racing the ulmitate distance this weekend!

Have a safe happy Halloween weekend!

Are you going spelunking after your run with that light??

Kevin said...

Great headlamp! I have one that clips to my hat so that It doesnt bounce or rub

Unknown said...

Love the headlamp. Sixteen candles is the BEST!
Hope you have a very Happy Halloween.

Holly said...

The headlamp is stylin'! But, seriously, it can be a lifesaver of light in the depths of early morning darkness. I have not been brave enough yet, plus I don't lik things on my head. I carry a small light and wear a red blinky light on my fuel belt.

Sixteen Candles. Love it!

I hate to break to you, but as smoking as you are, you aint' gonna make that sexy. I don't think Matt Damon could make that sexy.

I would if I should consider one of these.

Nancy said...

Glad you are feeling better, Viv. You are going pretty hard. Maybe dieting hard too for the challenge? Whatever it was, glad you are back.

I actually asked for a headlamp last year and got two!! I thought they made me a really tough gal. hee hee. Have fun with it.

Hugs.

I hear ya on the head lamp. I really need to get one too, but I'm not ready!

CoachLiz said...

I broke down and got a headlamp as well but I strapped it around my chest and made goofball "I AM IROMNAN!" jokes.

OMG! I have not seen 16 candles in probably 16 or 20 years. Anthony Michael Hall and John Cusack look SOOOO young.

RooBabs said...

If I was still running in the dark mornings, I would totally get a headlamp- definitely one as sexy as yours. But my sparse runs are in the afternoon now, so I'm good for now.

Love the Sixteen Candles. At chez RooBabs, we are always making Long Duk Dong jokes. LOL!

I don't know momma! You are way too sexy for me in the headlamp!
