The first year I did Painter's I froze just had on shorts and short-sleeve shirt. Last year I wore tights and long sleeve shirt and was burning up. I guess this year since I'm doing the 5K I won't have enough time to either get too hot or too cold.

Dustin:What you are only doing the 5k, I must of have missed that last night. You will do great anyways! Thanks again for keeping me distracted last night and sometime I will have to tell you my life story too!

Marcie- any advice on what to wear tomorrow? I'm afraid of freezing or being weighed down like you mentioned. I'm thinking long sleeve tech shirt and cropped pants (I have been all over town looking for good pants! So hard being so short! I can't do long pants, they are too long. Cropped pants work best and just come a few inches off my ankles.. oh well..) Probably will take along a headband and gloves that I can ditch... Just wondering if you have any great seasoned advice? See ya tonight!

Christi-

I buy cropped pants and they fit me perfect as long pants:) I am wearing a long sleeve with my racing singlet over the top and I am debating between long pants or capris-defintely a headband on gloves.On a race I rather be a little cold then get hot-I hate wasting seconds-minutes to shed clothing! Not much different from what you were thinking. Excited to meet you tonight too!

Good luck and have run tomorrow to all the FRB gals!

Have run? That should be the FRB motto: Got run?
