Can we agree that I have enough boyfriends?

I sometimes struggle with race costume pictures that involve jeans. Do they belong here at JoggingJeans.com? Or do they belong over at Best Race Costumes?

I didn’t struggle with today’s picture of Jason Peter “Jay” Garrick (aka The Flash) because blogger Greg’s post over at Twenty Six Two Life is just as much about the jeans as it is about the costume:

If you can’t tell from the picture, there is one major setback of this outfit; jeans. Yes, you can look up any picture of Jay Garrick you want and you’ll find the guy is running sub-atomic speed in jeans. What the heck? If a fictional superhero can run around the world in jeans, clearly I can do a simple little half marathon in some, right? It seemed like a good idea.

And a little bit later in the post:

Those damn jeans started getting weighed down in sweat that had soaked it all. Running in jeans was hard enough; gross, wet, sweaty jeans are even worse. It made it hard to get a full stride as the force of the jeans just wouldn’t move along like they did at the start.

Great, right? It gets even better. After a bit of cyber-stalking, I found that Greg had posted an awesome Ironman finish line jump that I LOVED and put up today over at Flying Jump Kicks. Check it out.

If I wasn’t already at 10 boyfriends, he’d be on the list. I’m willing to start sharing at this point. Hit me up if interested, Ladies, and I’ll see what I can do.

Jeans, running, costumes, and ’80s television

Can you think of a better combination of things than those above?

Besides pizza, Cheetos, beer, and Twizzlers?

Or Dan, Craig, jeans, and Pittsburgh Marathon?

Okay, so maybe there are several four item combinations that are better, but “jeans, running, costumes, and ’80s television” is pretty damn high on the list.

There are NO WORDS to describe my love for these race costumes that involve JEANS. And for those of you under the age of 30 and only know of the remakes of these FABULOUS shows, my heart aches for you.

Popeye runner IN JEANS

Thanks for joining me in a week-long of adventure of race costumes that involve jeans.

I saved my favorite jean-costume for last. I LOVE the muscular, tatooed forearms, the can of spinach, the pipe…brilliant.

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Wayne’s World characters IN JEANS

It occurred to me that some of the readers of JoggingJeans.com might be too young for this reference. If I am describing you, then in the time between now and when you head back to school, watch yourself some…never mind, what am I thinking? You are better off NOT knowing the Wayne’s World catch phrase.

[Is anyone else highly disturbed by the fact that the Wayne's World movie was in theaters 20 years ago!!]
