Wednesday Weirdness
- First of all, look at my gorgeous new shoes! My old pair of Brooks Ghost 7′s had over 550 miles on them and I could feel it. So I hit up the Lincoln Running Company (my locally-owned store) for these beauties! They were on sale and I had a gift card. $87 later, they were mine. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Total win in my book.
- Are you wondering why I’m wearing my winter coat when it’s 70+ degrees here? (That’s about 21 Degrees Celsius). Well, as usual, there’s a story behind that!
- I took my shoes on a little jaunt around the block, but, as I was only about 3 houses away from my house, a man’s voice called out to me and said, “Excuse me, but do you own a red pea coat?” I stopped walking and told him that I did, and asked why he wanted to know. The man and his wife walked up to me and said that they see me in the mornings and evenings out by my car, wearing that red coat and they think that I “look stunning in it.” I blushed and told them thank you. They went on to say that with my long dark hair and pale skin, it’s a really striking combination with the bright red of the coat. Ok. Now this conversation got weird. I mean, are they going to kidnap me and keep me in their basement now or something? Also, thanks for pointing out how pale I am!!
- While this weird conversation about my coat was happening this woman came up to us. She’s running for school board and wanted to put her signs in our yards. I told her it was fine after I googled her and realized I supported her. As we were walking and talking I found out she works for an organization that gives money to educational non-profits.
- WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! I WORK FOR ONE OF THOSE!! I told her I’d be calling her about sponsorship for our conference this fall! Random networking on a Wednesday night!
- Today was a rest day. Tempo miles tomorrow. I’m already tired thinking about it.
Have a great one, friends!
