(Semi) Wordless Wednesday

6 miles easy / 55:36 / 9:16 avg pace

1.  I got my Knuckle Lights in the mail yesterday and they are awesome.  They are comfortable, provide enough light (but not too much), and they are discreet.  Call me vain but I can’t see myself wearing a headlamp ever.

2.  I posted this a long time ago, when I had about 5 readers.  I’m sure many of you have seen it (or a variation of it) but I promise you will laugh.  It’s worth the 2 minutes and 23 seconds.  I swear this is what my co-workers think of me.

3.  Lastly, just because he is so darn cute.

Have you seen the “I’m a Runner” video?  They have a ton of different ones and they are all hysterical!

    I have seen that video – its pretty funny! Its pretty much how I felt (the girl) before I started running. I’ve never seen knuckle lights. Those are definitely better than a head lamp.

    I’ve seen it and love it. So glad you enjoyed the knuckle lights! I, also, cannot see going back to a headlamp. The only thing is you can’t carry a water bottle with them. Or discretely pick a wedgie, because you’re shining a giant light from your ass and it’s a tip-off.

      ha! yes, wedgie-picking is a no-no with them. i carried 1 knuckle light this morning since i can’t part with my water bottle. although it’s fairly lit where i run so i was OK.

    I think they should have just ended the video after the company psychiatrist statement. LOL.

    I love the “have you seen the company psychiatrist?” I would smoosh my face into your dog’s face – probably much to his chagrin.

    hahaha, i love that video! Definitely made me smile 🙂 The knuckle lights are such a good idea, especially since I am starting all of my runs in the dark these days…

    Love that video. Last year my friend and I made a video like that about our running club using the same program 🙂

    I’ve never heard of knuckle lights. I’m going to have to check them out. I run at 5:50am and it’s still pitch dark even when I get home from my run. I just ordered a reflective arm band with lights on it. I needed something reflective on!

    That video is too funny. I haven never seen of those before! 🙂

    The knuckle lights are so neat! I had seen someone else talk about them on her blog and I’m in love. Hope you enjoy yours!
