Last week I ran a "Halloween" half marathon (13.1 miles) in Chicago. Usually, half marathons are not too difficult for me. (Notice, I never said I was FAST.)
I thought it would be fun to go as a Roman soldier. So I bought a cheesy costume on line, and as a last minute thought, I wore my Imperial Gallic G helmet. I'm an idiot.
By mile 8 it started getting hot, my head felt like a huge meatball boiling in a pot. But I toughed it out and finished the race. Got the medal too.
I figured you guys would get a good laugh out of it. Please don't evict me from the forum!
