About 23 years ago I ran a competitive 5k race that started at 8 AM. As the gun was about to be fired to start the race, a cab pulled up, and a young man jumped out, still wearing his party clothes and dress shoes. He moved over to the checkin, got his number, and participated in the entire race, rather well as I remembered. The real amazing part was that the guy spent the night in jail for being drunk in public! What dedication!

When I started running 4 years ago I didn't have any special gear to start running. I just wore a pair of loose, kind of stretchy blue jeans and a comfy pair of non-running shoes. In 100 degree weather. Although I finally splurged after a few years, running in jeans wasn't as bad as people think. I wouldn't do anything more than a half marathon in them, but anything less than that is fine.
