It hurts me to say this but at 5:56 this morning, I bade my BFF Nike black capris (or NBC’s) farewell. After many long years of loyal service (not to mention great running fashion) the elastic waist finally lost its battle with gravity. Despite an exhaustive search for an appropriate replacement, so far nothing comes close.
My NBCs will be fondly remembered for their tireless hours on the mill, the grueling long runs with no pinching, snags or chafing, and taking me to my first BQ. They were with me in my Boston appearances in addition to countless other races. No distance was too long or too short for the illustrious NBC’s. Take a moment of silence won’t you and honor them.
Feel free to play the video above as we honor my beloved NBC’s in a photo memorial. I’ll do my best not to get too verklempt. Or if you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about my old capris, at least watch the video and enjoy the eternal hotness that is Robert Redford.
Do you have a piece of running gear you cannot part with?
