businessman running

Last night I went for a run in my suit. I find it terribly funny, that I felt more comfortable wearing my suit on a six mile run through the hills, than I ever have wearing it to some event of some sort where I’m supposed to look however one is supposed to look when they are wearing a suit. I do not feel comfortable in one, and therefore do not like wearing them. The last time I wore it was to Christian and Macie’s wedding, and I felt like I looked ridiculous. Like the sixteen year old boy wearing his dad’s suit on some silly date. Yes, it is a bit too big for me. It is also older than me, as it was my grandfather’s.

Interestingly enough, the biggest problem running was the jacket, not the pants. It was actually quite warm {as it is wool} and the tie didn’t really bother me at all. Though there was a great deal of friction with the pants, I felt relatively mobile in them. But the jacket. Oh the jacket. My arms just wouldn’t swing the way they should, and my shoulders felt tight. I cannot imagine that I will be doing this again. It simply made what is already a less than wonderful experience, less wonderful. I will say though, that as I ran up the busy streets of Berkeley, I found myself giggling and giggling and giggling. A worthy experience. perhaps i will try it out on the bike.
