Beat Me to the Punch!

Shucks! For the last month, I've been mulling over a runners' version of the "12 Days of Christmas" to post here at Running Catholic. But wouldn't you know it, the Ask the Running Doc blog has stolen my thunder. You can read the whole thing over there, or just see the Day 12 round-up below:

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Twelve race entries
Eleven baby aspirins
Ten salt packets
Nine tubs of lube
Eight pairs of socks
Seven Runner's Rule Books
Six Elvis bagels
Five blister blocks
Four nipple guards
Three short shorts
Two Gel Kayanos,
And this blog to stay in-ju-ry free!

Oh well: early bird, worm, and all that. Although I did like what was going to be my first-day item:

... and a nagging knee injury!

Maybe next year!
