2. Race outfit: Well, Dutch Customs finally decided to release the Chocofleurs running skirt I've been waiting for. Somehow they decided to hold on to the arm sleeves that were in the same package. Yep...it's beyond me.
The skirt arrived just in time for me to...NOT...take it for a test drive. I only have a 3K / 2 miler left in this training plan: test driving the skirt is out of the question. So...a diferent outfit it is.
Which outfit would have your vote?
A.
Mums in Bloom runningskirt.com running skirt and Azure tank top. Note: this outfit has a strict 'no drippy poo on race day' policy...
B.
Orange dot runningskirts.com strappy tank and orange runningskirts.com running skirt (I am - after all - Dutch). :)
3. Cats and dogs can't be friends? Well...in my house, they can! :)
Yep, those are my pets. On my bed. And I don't mind. Ha! :)

Pre-race jitters are totally normal. You are going to rock it! Go ahead and have that drink if it will calm you down :)
Is it okay if I'd empty the bottle? ;)
Don't be "silly" you're going to have an amazing race!!!
Def choice A. Love the blue, it looks like a great color for you.
Are you in the Netherlands, wait, are you Dutch?
My husband is Dutch & we're moving there in 2012.
Have a great day!

Thanks, Melissa! :) Yep, I'm Dutch! Born and raised. :) Where are you moving? :)
Cuteness! On both the blue running outfit and the dog/cat love. :) You're going to do awesome in your race! Good luck!
I choose A!! Goooood Luck Christel!!! You Run Girl!! Paris here see comes!!
Def outfit A!!! Totally sets off your hair and eyes. Rock it girl! And nerves are normal, you know this!!! Remind yourself that you've done this a few times before and trust in your training. I know you had some issues along the way but lately things have been going good, BELIEVE!!! Faith, not fear! Can't wait to read your recap, I know you will do great!
Um, this is a little embarrassing but that is the EXACT same outfit I was planning to wear at the AR50 this weekend. Looks like I’ll be picking something else now *sigh*
My dogs & cat get along too :-)
All the best,
Ron
@ Morgan: Thanks! That's so sweet of you! :)
@ Ron: Well...darn. We could wear the same outfit, couldn't we? Or would that be too matchy matchy? ;)
You will do GREAT!! stop worrying! :)
I like outfit A! :)
Someone in customs is wearing those arm sleeves. That is so odd. Oh all things to keep!
I love you in that blue. It's an amazing color. (But I love orange too.) Enie Menie Minie Moo?
My cat and dogs have a more tolerate each other relationship. I think the cat believes he is better than the dogs. It's a class thing. heehee
@ Shelly: Hahahaha! Well...I truly believe that one of my cats (yeah, I have two...)is deeply in love with my dog. No kidding.
I like A! Just relax, you'll have a great race! That pet photo looks as if it could have been taken in my house. Pets rule in my house.
I'm totally in love with that Mums in Bloom skirt, so that's my vote.
You'll do GREAT - enjoy it!!
i love those pre race nerves. they are my favorite part of racing (as long as i don't actually throw up).
i love all the new runningskirts!!!! i'm trying to decided which of the new spring ones to add to my collection...
You're going to be great this weekend! And I vote for outfit A.
Go for the orange! That's lame you got your skirt so late (and no sleeves, REALLY customs?!).
Your pets are cute.
Not even cupcakes????? This is a problem.
The blue looks nice...I'm voting blue.
I'm going against the crowd because
A. You're a patriotic Dutchwoman and
B. It's going to be warm in Paris on the weekend and you might not want sleeves.
(But the blue does look really nice on you)
I'm torn.... I would pick the blue if it was a tank. I absolutely cannot run in sleeves. I get way too hot! But if that isn't an issue for you, I like that one. I totally love the pumpkin dot though.
Good luck in Paris, everything is going to go FABULOUS!!!
I love the blue on you but orange looks great too! Good luck! You'll do great! Stop the worry! :)
A! Also, taper madness is soooo normal - you're going to do great!
Good luck - you'll do great! I choose A
B! I love that tank!
