Really. I'm just a big goober. This week, in part due to Gloria's suggestion (thanks!) I've been listening to Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Her months on the PCT - Pacific Crest Trail - has been great running company. However, she just spent about an hour describing a box she received during her trip that contained an outfit she was super geeked to wear after spending 3 months in the same exact clothes. The outfit consisted of jeans, a black tee and a black lacy bra/underwear. She made it sound so incredible, lace after hiking for 3 months, sweaty, dirty, smelly. While listening, I was piling my miles, feet were sore and my second toenail about to pop off. (THANKFULLY it's not summer!)
While plodding away, I couldn't think of anything else other than getting home and logging into Victoria's Secret to reward my millions of steps onto the hard pavement. $50 later, I have a tracking number and am awaiting some pretty new goodies. Yep, I'm an Advertisement Exec's dream.
I've run in a rain storm this week, no, make that a Cincinnati hurricane in which I had to strip down to my sports bra and shorts just to get into my car. My apologies to anyone that had to witness that!

| Thinking I could wait out the rain but no, I went for it. 6 miles in torrential downpours. |

| Literally, 5 minutes after I got in car after running in hurricane I'mgonnadrownyou, and drove to pick Annie up at CCM. Sunny skies and happiness. |
I surrendered another toenail to the running Gods yet got to enjoy thoroughly the experience of running down a usually busy free-way that is now under construction. It's the little things that make my silly world go round. That and Victoria's Secret!! (oh, and runningwarehouse.com.....I'm now thinking I deserve some new running capris, do I hear you nodding "yes"?!)
