I’m gonna be a Superhero!

by Elizabeth on April 17, 2012

So, I may have signed up for another race last week.  I’m not even sure how or why it came up, I think I was discussing with Becca and Kim what their race schedules were and what I could possibly do.

Becca and her sis L were planning on going to the Superhero 1/2 Marathon in New Jersey.  I’ll be honest, NJ isn’t actually on my list of vacation places and I have been for work training and kind of just wanted to check it off the list.

The flights had been $600 plus for weeks.  All of the sudden, Delta had a sale.  I got a flight for $325.  I am literally flying in on Saturday afternoon and leaving Sunday afternoon.  Very uneventful.  But very fun to be running with Becca and L again!

Oh, so the best part?  I need a superhero costume.  They are going to be Wonderwoman.  But I thought it might be fun to be a different superhero.  So I went to amazon to search and found several options and I need your help.  The only downside to all of them is that I will be running in Cotton/polyester,  not ideal at all but oh well.  It’s only 13.1, right? :)

I would wear a running skirt, maybe even sparkle skirt, with all of them and then get the matching socks!  I can’t believe these are even made…
So there ya have it.  My last race that I actually have planned.  Kinda weird to not have anything “big on the books after May.  More to come on that later. 
I’ll keep what I want to be to myself for now…but what do you think?  Who is your fav and who should I be?

LOVE the socks! They are a must! How about you buy a blue tech shirt and glue the superman sign on it and then just buy the cape? This might make running easier.

i saw don't do wonder woman since they are (unless you want to match) are you okay in a cape? I like bat girl, but would NOT want to run with a mask on, so super girl by default!

Since I was 6, I wanted to be WonderWoman. Linda Carter is amazing. Plus, a tiara. How can you pass that up? And she has her own show!

I like the Cat Woman, but running with that thing on your face would suck…so I saw super girl and you gotta get the socks! And I agree to just do the cape and the socks. If you have a blue running tech shirt I could help you sew (not permanently, just for short term) the logo to the shirt….

I too like Cat Woman but not the mask thingy…that looks like it would suck to run with. So my vote is for Super Girl…and the socks totally rock!

Ditto on catwoman – cute but mask looks annoying. Go for super girl!
