No new sunscreen, no new bra, no new shirts, they’ll rub you raw.
No new skirts because they’re cute, or first time running in your Elvis suit.
No new shorts or new spandex, they’ll most likely chaff your delicates.
No new headbands, bandanas or funny Afro wigs, and that new Garmin won’t tell you to zag when you should zig.
No new bottles on your back, or bottles on your waist, no new drinks within those bottles, you don’t know how they taste.
No new blocks or shots or running in your Crocs, No new gels or energy bars, and running way too far.
Don’t wait until the race to try Vasaline on your toes, and don’t wait until the race to try a Breath Rite on your nose.
Don’t stuff 20 gels into your new short’s pocket, and don’t wait until race day to blow your first snot-rocket.
If you practice with your gear, you won’t look like a fool, that’s why Nothing New On Race Day, is Running’s Golden Rule.
