bib pick-up: mini 10k

picked up materials today for this weekend's race, the nyrr mini 10k. some 40 years ago, this was the very first organized road race for women. back then, it was called the crazy legs mini marathon. women obviously couldn't run a full marathon, so a "mini" version was made just for them and their "mini" abilities. and of course, any woman who would want to do such a thing was crazy.

40 years later, we dropped the crazy part and the marathon part, but it's still called the mini and it's still just for women. lots of women run it in mini skirts. i did it last year and despite bonking out, enjoyed the race. so i signed up again this year!

like the more/fitness half, since this is women only, i get a lower bib number :) red corral! in addition to a tshirt (a lot like last year's but orange instead of pink), we got a mini tote bag, lara bar samples, mini sunscreen, mini soap and mini hairspray (??), instant tea mix and a nyrr hair tie.

this will be my first race since joining a running club, the van cortlandt track club! looking forward to wearing my team singlet!
