5 miles

i'd like to tell you a little story.

i met a lot of great people in my first job out of college. one in particular was my boy cs. he was a little bit country...i was a little bit hip hop. we were an extremely odd mix, especially since we worked in politics...on opposite sides of the aisle. anyway, cs, like me, was not a morning person. at about 10 a.m. one day, a guy in his office just bursts out laughing. turns out, cs had put on two different dress shoes - one brown and one black. within minutes, the entire statehouse had caught wind of his mistake, and the mockery flowed like a fine wine. he took it like a champ because that's the kind of guy he is. i got in a few jabs because, well, that's the kind of gal i am.

well, friends, karma is a bitch. i woke up this morning at 5:20 a.m. and was in a cab by 5:40. i got to the group run site and was stretching and chatting with a few of the other runners. i bent down to stretch my hammy and low and behold...i had two different running shoes on - on the left foot, i had my newer brooks; on my right i had my retired mizunos. i looked up and said, "oh god, look at my feet." everyone laughed. one guy said he probably would've thought i was just starting a new trend.

the scariest part about it is that the shoes are completely different in terms of function and age. the brooks are neutral and the mizunos are stability; the brooks are just a few weeks old, the mizunos had about 4 months of running on them.

and i couldn't freaking tell the difference.

let the mockery begin...

tomorrow: cross training
weekly mileage: 15 miles
