I'm so close!

WOOHOO! Last night I ran 3.1 miles in 35:21!!! Isn't that exciting? It totally is. I'm only 21 seconds off of my goal now. That's less then 7 seconds a mile, surely I can do that. Don't you think? sure. Anyway, I'm just so excited about it - every time it really does get easier. I just think that, come race day, it's going to be even easier! I mean, really - just the excitement of it all - it should just fly by. ;) So, I'm thinking I might need a new running outfit for race day - I mean, I should have one - it's my first 5k - I should look like a pro, shouldn't i? of course. FuddyDuddy- that might make a great mothers day gift for me. ;) helping you out. (shorts, and shirt - don't forget new socks too!) THEN, after the race and IF I've completed both of my goals (to run the whole race, and to finish under 35:00) then - I want to get a new tattoo to "memorialize" this event. What do you think? Any ideas? I just want something small and inconspicuous. I already have 2 tats and would even consider just adding something onto one of my current ones, but it'll have to be something good. Help me out here - seriously. Here's some brief ideas I have right now... a pair of small wings somewhere, a little runner girl figure, a cotton ball (since it's the cotton row run), a 3.1 and the date, that's where I run out... lemme know what you come up with.

My first thought (before I read your ideas) was a small pair of running shoes and your finish time.

You could put wings on the shoes, even.

Just my $0.02.

ps dont listen to the tat naysayers.....

fuddyduddy - you are such a fuddyduddy - i'm just talking something small sweetie, unobtrusive... you'll hardly even know it's there... ;) i love you!

tj - i'm kinda playing with that - i have a yin/yang symbol already and i thought maybe just add a pair of wings to that one. i'll keep playing around with it and see what i get.

let me know if you have any more ideas.

How about a few feet marks like tracks left behind. Very small so you can have 3 or 4 put on you. Sort of like feet prints in the sand.
