Pajama Run, What Fun!
PJs & Tutus!
On January 5th, I ran Five Star NTP’s Ugly Pajama Run 5k. Honestly, I’ve not done too many theme runs and the ones I have, I didn’t dress up. But not wanting to be a complete fuddy-duddy, I put an old green silk pajama top on over my running shirt. It was a cold morning and it added an extra layer of warmth (and it could be easily taken off if no one else was wearing pajamas:)
I’ve never done a Pajama Run and didn’t know what to expect from the participants. I figured a few people, probably kids, would have on some pajama pants. Boy, was I wrong! There were so many people wearing pajamas and most of them were adults. Lots of funny 1-piece novelty pjs, some with hilarious hoodies. There were also couples and families with matching patterned pajamas. I was surprised at how much fun it was! It made me smile seeing all these people dressed in silly pajamas while running a 5k. Given the multitude of smiles I saw that morning, a lot of other people enjoyed it too!
So bottom line...I learned that (1) themed races can be fun; (2) adults doing silly things make people smile; and (3) next year I’m wearing some really good ugly pajamas!
Happy Running!
