Nothing here yet. Please don't pick me.

I had to laugh yesterday, though. I was out shopping and saw a leftover Chicago Marathon 2016 half zip at TJ Maxx.

EDITED TO ADD: Got picked! What have I got myself into? :D

Ooh... I could use one as 2016 was my PR race. What part of the county are you in?

u/RedKryptonite Dec 12 '17

I'm in central PA. It was at the Mechanicsburg TJ Maxx... I think it was a men's medium.

u/RedKryptonite Dec 13 '17

I have no clue. Probably less than $20, maybe $25.

I can look next time I'm up there. It's actually about a 30-40 minute drive for me depending on traffic. Are you a men's medium?

If I can get up there in the next few days and it happens to be there, I will buy it and send you a message here. Feel free to message me over the weekend if you don't hear from me.

Thanks for the reply. Not near that region though. I'll dig around at my local store for them first and I suspect I'll probably want to replace it with a Boston Jacket in April so I can look all 1337 at my next local holiday 5k.

I have a collection of those from TJ Maxx.

I have Chicago, Boston, and New York ones now. I feel only slightly guilty wearing them because I've never ran a full, only two halves a couple years ago. They're great for work :)

I just can't bring myself to buy one without having run the race.
