Poser? Or Just Cheap?

I’ll let you decide…but I am leaning toward just cheap.

You see, I have been searching for a good pair of capri running pants and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, what if I didn’t like them? Ya know? Anyway, I found some today at Ross but they have a logo on them:

I don’t ever plan to run the Boston marathon…unless they have a division for the longest time it takes to do it…then maybe! I sort of feel weird with it on, will people think I did that marathon? Am I misleading people to believe that I am such a fast runner that I actually qualified??? Does that make me a poser?

Then there is the second part of the story, the cheap part:

My capri pants cost $15…versus the $50 they retail for. And I always like ADIDAS because they make their clothes a tad bigger so I fit nicely into a medium. So basically, my capri pants with the Boston Marathon logo were ridiculously cheap and it gave me a low-cost way to test out how I like capri running pants.

I feel a little like a poser, I will just have to stop and tell everyone I see while wearing these capri’s that I did NOT run the 2009 Boston Marathon…but rather that I got them at Ross for hardly anything :-)

And my conclusion on running capri’s is that they are GREAT! They were so comfortable and I never thought about them once (my #1 rule on having something that fits correctly).

  2. he he he… I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s a recession. You’re being a financially responsible runner! :)

    Either that, or I’d totally say, “yeah, I ran Boston… no biggie… ” and shrug like it was no big thing… :)
