- wahoo !!! it's a rest day... nuthin, nada, zilch, zero... and thank goodness
- 5am conference call at work of doom and gloom... but I still have a job
- email at work from big mucky mucks letting us know there won't be any increase in wages this year... I'm good with that... i still have a job :) .... today....
- FINALLY got some bike shorts. It's wasn't an easy task. I'm not a small chick but figured I'd need a small, and in my quest for shorts, I went to two REI's, 2 Joe's, 1 Sports Authority and found exactly ONE... yes ONE size small. So we hit Gregg's and I found 3 pairs to try on !! wahoo !!! And then, ended up in an extra small. Brilliant. Specialized...comfy, I don't look too much like a stuffed sausage..AND OH MY GOD... do you all know how much money those freakin shorts are ??? seriously ! That's nutty. There was a pair that was $200.00 ... for LYCRA !! For 200 dollars, the shorts better ride the bike by themselves !
- And much much much to my chagrin, Rob found a pair of spin/freaky clip shoe thingys, they were Nike. I'm throwing up a little in my mouth right now, but, they were totally on sale and Rob said they'd be perfect to learn in, so we bought them. You all know I boycott Nike ... unless it's a gift, or apparently if my husband, the all knowing, says it's a good deal. Heaven help me.
- one more chica signed up for the St. Pats Dash. Her first run ever ! So fun ! Got her headed to Run 26 in Alderwood, and gave her my shoe lecture, and a link to a 5K training plan. Cake Walk !!
- why don't cyclists tell runners to buy their running stuff at bike stores ??? There's some great running clothes there... that I suppose are technically 'bike' clothes. Great tights, perfect weight reflective jackets, great gloves. Sheesh... I should have been shopping there all along. Keep that in mind gang.
- Tomorrow, an easy 5K run ... probably on the treadmill - maybe outside !
- and... hopefully Wed or Thurs I'm going drag Rob to go check out a hot yoga place that has come highly recommended in Woodinville. Do you think yoga people will laugh at me ??? I would..
- Speaking of that, I had the question brought to my attention: "what if you walk during a 5K? Don't people look at you funny ?" and my answer was "oh hell no". .. I walk all the time (ok, well not 'all the time'.. and I try not to walk at all, but heartrate sometimes wins that battle). In general, and please let me know if I'm telling a big fat lie, I think the running community is very very very accepting. I have never thought to myself "what is that person doing?" usually, i'm just thrilled people are out moving instead of sitting on their duff. And for the most part, that's been my experience. People are friendly, and open, and ready to have a good time... and they don't care about your size or shape or speed, just that you're there !
WOOT WOOT !!!
