One of these things is not like the other…

September 26, 2007 By: Runner Leana

I did get my 4.5 miles in over lunch yesterday. My legs were tired from Fit Ball and the first 2 mi felt kinda sluggish. When I hit my turnaround point I said to myself, “Come on Leana, tired is a state of mind and you are not tired.” The back half felt much better after I said that! It was a busy day on the pathway over lunch as tons of people were out trying to enjoy the last of the nice weather before winter arrives. I ran into three coworkers along the way. Fall is definitely here – the leaves are all changing and the pathways are strewn with them. Luckily the temperatures are still nice enough to give the ol’ running skirts a few last glimpses of sunshine before having to be packed away and replaced by the running tights.

The hockey game was okay last night. Preseason….what can I say? It looked like it was going to be a rough night after San Jose scored two goals in the opening minutes, but Calgary fought back and won it in a shoot out. Hockey made for a late night and it was a serious rush out the door this morning. Apparently I was so rushed that I grabbed two shoes and put them on without paying attention. I was a block from work when I realized that those two shoes didn’t match…. Yeah, who is acting their hair colour today? Thank goodness for my runners in my gym bag, and at least I have been able to provide my coworkers with a good laugh this morning. Today I’m aiming for 4 mi over lunch. With the post Fit Ball run, yesterday and today I’ll hit my 10 midweek miles. Yoga tonight, and who knows what tomorrow… Hopefully matching shoes at least.

    Once again, I’m tired just from reading about what you’re doing. I sometimes have to look down to see if I’m wearing socks after a night of beer and fun.
