Price is Right
Today I had to drag out the suit. I had an interview for a fall internship and it looks like I got the job. I am super excited for this one. AND, I walked there. I have completely put everything I need within walking distance of my apt. However, my future boss did say parking was available and that it might be a good idea to have it in case of bad winter weather. I was like, oh, good idea, plus I get hurt a lot. She didn’t think that was weird. It turns out she used to run too and has had bunion surgery and toe surgery. We have so much in common! (I haven’t had bunion surgery, but do have the bunion).
I finally motivated to run late afternoon. I ran 25 minutes. I was aiming for a T station. It was like the Price is Right. In the Price is Right you want to get as close as possible without going over. I wanted to get a T station as far away as possible-without being unable to get home before my 25 minute running limit was up-in which case I would be unable to count the T station...AND, I set my sights too high. I did a loop run and miscalculated and had to walk the last ¾ of a mile home. No T station today.
I decided my calf is better but I am out of running shape-which at this point I’ll definitely take. The knee was fine.
I did a wardrobe change out of running shorts to longer, gym acceptable length shorts and then biked over to the gym to lift. (Do other people wear running shorts at the gym-when they aren't on the treadmill?) Now I have knee exercises on the schedule for later tonight. Oh yes, when I got ready to go for my run I thought, wow, my sneakers are super squishy. I guess that's what happens when you mindlessly put all of the pairs of orthotics you own (2 per shoe) in each sneaker.

Audrey, I wear running shorts to the gym and I NEVER run on the treadmill. I don't wear my split style shorts there, usually some of my mid-length type running shorts (like the Nike Tempo short). Also, running shorts are the only kind I own, so I'm kind of limited unless I want to wear my cycling shorts with the padding, but that really does not look cool.

Heh, heh. Not sure if I really own real running shorts or not. I think I have one pair that is for "running". I only wear those for running, but only because I hate to waste them on a gym day and not get to wear them on a run day. I'm wierd.

Hey Audrey - your comment about the squishy shoes cracked me up. My mizunos squeak whenever I run because of my orthodics. I think that people expect a 300 pound man to roll by them because my shoes squeak so loudly - too funny. I like the uniqueness of my squeaky shoes, though.
