I went on my lunch break and picked up my 5k packet of all my information, cool t-shirt (that was bigger than I thought - but still cool), and running chip. I found out that my number was 906. I was thinking it would be funny to put the running paper on upside down, but then forgot the morning of. It was so exciting to go and pick up the packet as it became more of a reality that I was actually doing a 5k. In the race because they have a couple thousand people participating they give everyone a chip to tie on your shoe laces. When you cross the finish line the chip records the time it took you to run the race.
After work I went to Sport's Authority and found a running wallet type thing where you can place your ID, and keys in it and then velcro it to your shoe laces. I liked this idea as it's always a problem of trying to figure out how to carry everything and not worry about it. I bought it and then found out that it was on clearance, which was even nicer. I really like it as you can't even feel it is there. It doesn't interfere with your run at all, and frees up the feeling of wondering if your keys will fall out of your pocket sometime as you are out and about. Yeah, it may look dorky, but it's a working dorky.

Cool shoes. I think if I put my keys in one of those wallets I would run lop-sided.
