It's supposed to be a running jacket, but it's too heavy for me. I don't need an extra five pounds to carry! I live in t-shirts, so I love getting those as my swag.

In my experience, race price and race swag haven't always correlated-- sometimes I walk away from expensive races with oversized cotton tees, and some small races have given out some pretty snazzy goodies. My favorite race goodies are a hand-held water bottle (I always carry it on long runs-- it doesn't bother me like the belts do!) and a fantastic rain jacket!Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500655088302131167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-66654658238760892992011-05-31T13:27:12.570-04:002011-05-31T13:27:12.570-04:00you know i have found there is just no guarantee.....you know i have found there is just no guarantee...some big fee races have ended up giving me poooooo for swag.
