So we switched gears (what a surprise!) and ended up going to the George West Storyfest 5k. They had a Red Wagon Parade, for God’s sake. Who could resist that?
Friday night, Mo says, “This race seems really small. I bet there’s no swag.”
Saturday morning (for a mere $20 day of race registration) we find ourselves with:
• Four donuts. Six cups of coffee.
• Neon green race T-shirt
• Handsome finisher’s medal
• 2012 datebook
• 1 water bottle
• 3 koozies (2 red, 1 green)
• 1 screwdriver (convertible from phillips to straight edge)
• 1 hand sanitzer encased in carrier with clip
• travel toothpaste, toothbrush and floss
• large red water bottle
• 1 stick-on desk calendar
• 1 envelope opener
• 1 chewy s’more bar
• 3 pencils
• 2 crappy pens and one fabulous pen (this is mo’s appraisal)
• 1 refrigerator sticker from the chamber of commerce
• 1 piece of peppermint candy
• 1 small notebook pad with an American flag on front
Oh, and they had a race. Super-accurate 5k with accurate mile markers, 2 water stations, the high school cheerleaders and a loop through the cemetery. Did I mention I love this race?
And they had Frito Pie after the race. Lordy, what a state …
I like margarine is the fictional tale of a former runner and his faithful Trail Monkey. Thanks for stopping by. Never a cover charge. Sorry, no parking validation.
I’m running a friggin marathon … and my swag was
1 brooks jacket .. green … green is not a good color for me
1 bib
4 safty pins ..
..yup that’s it … not even a bag …
I’m moving to Texas
Mo says you can one of her koozies and a pen (but you must choose from the two crappy ones, not the good one.)
At least you got the jacket, Sass. Mine was one too-large white “marathon” shirt (for running a pikermi), plus the bib and safety pins. Sleeves on said shirt hang down about 5″ past my hands. Maybe we need to move the whole state of WV to Texas. It would fit, right?
We could just plop it on top of Oklahoma. Nobody would notice.
lol . . Mo’s funny
I have never received a fridge Chamber of Commerce magnet before…. *sigh*
All I got was a crumbie tech shirt and a bag of emerald nuts!
Everything’s bigger in Texas… even our swag
How can you resist those fabulous wagons?
That’s some good swag right there. Does this mean you now have swagga?

Hey, Nic! Thanks for stopping by! It’s just off the interstate about halfway between San Antonio and Corpus. Likely not worthy the drive from the Dallas area (if you’re still living there) even for a Chamber of Commerce refrigerator magnet. But I had some pretty fine Frito Pie …
