The Race-Day Shoes I Wore at the Boston Marathon, Plus 13 Other Items I Packed

A true highlight of the race was seeing my sister and dad cheering for me on the course. Boston is known for attracting lots of spectators, so I repurposed an Adidas Adicolor Classic Firebird Loose Track Pants ($75) and Adidas Colorblock Track Top ($85) I'd purchased for the Adidas carbo-load dinner event to dress my family "Royal Tenenbaums"-style for the marathon so I could easily spot them. I also added a bright Turtle Fur beanie ($35) for my dad. It worked so well that I was able to see them without slowing down.
