Vera Bradley's work isn't to my taste either, but I appreciate her efforts to help out local schools.
Yep, I would carry a publix bag before a VB (or a LV :roll
, but tastes vary!
I agree wholeheartedly with beachmouse---this is a wonderful event because all the money goes to the school. (It's cheap, too!) It's also one of my favorite half marathons for other reasons--it has the best t-shirt, the best medal, it's cheap, it's flat, it's in SoWal, and I think it's amazing that Vera Bradley donates her bags.
Whatever the taste in bags--it's a free Vera Bradley bag. I have 3 free backpack-type bags from races that have "Publix" stamped across them that are far uglier, but they're useful and not nearly as well made. I use them all the time. Goodies are goodies, and hers is a great goodie.
Sorry to be offensive, but are the Vera Bradley bags for barfing at the finish line? I just can't stand those things. They are so incredibly horrible and old-school preppy. I hated them 20-something years ago, and I still hate them. They look like freakin' diaper bags. Every redneck girl on our campus carries one. I guess they think it makes them look stylish. I don't think so.
It isn't just me. Daughter agrees. She now carries a Louis Vuitton Damier Neverfull that she got for Christmas.
If you have a friend who carries a Vera Bradley and you are a true friend, please advise her/him not to carry one any more. S/he will thank you in the long run for that advice.
But I'm up for a 5K.
Sell it on Ebay under the header:

Casa de skunk, or if that doesn't pan out you can use our futon.
I agree. Thanks, Vera.
If any of you carries a Vera, I still
you. I'll just divert my eyes when I see your bag to avoid making a grimacing face. 
I'm in for both races!!! Ok, only I'll be the one directing traffic at West Ruskin Place. I have been at this location for the last 4 years, I think it is.
I got to wear the bright orange traffic vest last year - I was so "official"!!!
Wave at me when you go by - I will cheer you on the finish line!!!

Sort of like we do when you wear your jorts.

You are too funny!
Hey, wearing jorts and being tacky is just something that becomes part of you if you go to UF. The Gator spirit just overtakes one's judgement.
