I know it’s a little early to be thinking about Halloween, but was talking with some guys at the office and I want to see if I can figure out some sort of costume to wear for a run this fall. I’m doing a 5k with a buddy that is trying to get in shape and lose some weight, so I figured I would make it more fun be looking ridiculous! I was thinking something like one of those T-Rex costumes, but from looking at them online it seems that they cover your feet and face. Has anyone modified one to be able to breath/run in it? I’ll probably have to run to/from the 5k (I’ll be traveling) and that’s another 3.5 miles each way. So I have to be able to knock out about 10 miles in the thing without it falling apart or suffocating me!
I usually run on a jogging path through my neighborhood at like 4 or 5 am so could get a few test runs in it before hand. At least until someone calls the cops on me or reports me on Next Door. I think some people in my neighborhood could use the laugh though!
Easy peasy.
Go with a red and white striped rugby shirt.
Add glasses, stocking cap, and backpack and you’re Waldo. If you need to stop for gas, remove glasses, stocking cap and insert into backpack. Leave backpack in car and nobody will ever know.
That was my goto costume in college. Easily converted into something if you need to look normal.
Either, or you can go with all black sweats and. Tape half a white paper towel (the more quilted the better) horizontally across your chest and boom, you’re a Sandman from Logan’s Run. You can remove the paper towel and you’ll look like you’re out for a run. This was my backup costume in college. Black sweats were a little weird if you were going to a bar, though.
What ever you choose, don’t go as a marshmallow. If I see one of them running, I may chase it down with a torch.
If you watched the Kona stream you will understand.
