When you get warm you can either push them down or stuff them in your pockets (or into your waistband if you're cool like me). I never understood the reason for them, but they beat wearing an extra shirt and having to then run with it tied around your waist :) Also, glad you're with me on the bridge thing. Frankly though, I can't even climb a ladder without starting to shake.TriGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289885288405245140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125643871769361087.post-46548495801947674812012-06-16T21:57:29.127-07:002012-06-16T21:57:29.127-07:00What are running sleeves?

And it was cool that there were enough of us to break into groups to find one or two others to run at the same pace.TriGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289885288405245140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125643871769361087.post-29610686974263215402012-06-12T10:46:02.530-07:002012-06-12T10:46:02.530-07:00YAY!

It'll be fun!" even though I know he'd hate it but I don't want to go alone. Even the "Alright then...I'm off" with a backwards side eye to see if he's changed his mind yet.<br />Oddly, it never works. <br />Glad you're back!Vapid Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699876620805731017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125643871769361087.post-2612909877180358192012-06-09T05:23:15.273-07:002012-06-09T05:23:15.273-07:00I love your pictures!

It gets stale and you need a break to live offline and in real time, you know? At any rate, it's not going anywhere. <br /><br />With that said, I'm glad you went somewhere for the meet-up! I don't know of any bloggers in my area, but I would feel the same way as you did. However, it looks like it was totally worth it.
