Either that, or they think that runners are gigantic people.

I registered for a 10K (without running a step in months) since they promised that I’d get to hear some 80’s one-hit-wonder bands. But it’s a Nike thing, and they’re making us wear their shirts. You can guess that living in Nike’s backyard makes a lot of people a bit jaded about the place. Right now I don’t think I care either way about them but I do hate that they’re more a fashion house that changes shoe styles and clothing every few months.

The worst part is that I didn’t check the shirt when I picked it up and it’s HUGE. Hey, Nike, we’re runners, not basketball players. A men’s large should be a bit small on me, and I’m only 5′ 10″ and 165 lbs. It shouldn’t hang down below my crotch. I went back and tried exchanging it for one that fit (a men’s small) but they weren’t having any of it.

I mean, seriously, it’s a Drifit shirt with sticky printing on it. I’m never going to wear it as a night shirt so it’s going into the recycle bin if it’s too big. Not a great way to spend a $35 registration fee for a run.
