last week when we were out drinking paco spotted my shoes and explained that they were way to heavy for someone my size. if i lightened them up i'd be faster, my legs wouldn't tire so quickly and i'd have a lower risk of injury. he assured me he doesn't get commission so i believe him. last night i went ahead and let him sell me a new pair of the GAYEST sneakers i've ever paid money for. they are white and silver with teal stripes.. really bad. the rookie took one look at them and said 'man, those are girly'... followed quickly by 'you look like you should be running the miami marathon in those things' followed later by 'damn, i think i saw some dolphins chasing you out there on that run'.
looks aside, they did feel good and the price wasn't too high so i'm happy. he threw in a free pair of socks to sweeten the deal. thanks paco!
the drill for the night had us focusing on breathing and effort levels.. the rookie decided that we should run with the intermediates which i hesitantly agreed to.. since i am still kind of sick i wasn't sure i'd be able to keep up. roxie and i ended up running the whole drill together which was a nice way to catch up on boy talk, running pitfalls, and the perils of keeping up with running gear laundry! the rookie's got some long ass legs so he left us for a faster pace.
when all was said and done we ran about 5.2 miles which was not too painful, and i'm ready to run some distance on saturday.
OH, more good news.. Jane Magazine has decided to sponsor my sticker campaign, so i have now passed the $2000 mark on fundraising! THANKS JANE! Donations are still coming in, and the list of donors keeps growing, but the more the merrier so please don't feel like your money isn't needed. giving feels gooood!
