Gaiters fix all that, although there is the stress of having to remember to put them on before you put on your shoes. And, well, the stress of the fashion angle as well (thanks Dirty Girl for complicating this with so many choices).notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146089657066958317.post-46185905283178432692015-02-04T06:23:57.070-08:002015-02-04T06:23:57.070-08:00Number 8 is just spot on.

You know, I'm always hesitant to show off my beer belly, and get sunburnt being from the 'Ham, but maybe I'll give it a shot next time I'm running through the trees like a gnome. I'm signed up for the Nanny Goat 24 hour event this May, and my goal is just to feel good and see how far I can go. Friends are pressuring me to buckle, but I don't want to kill myself. I really love this.
