Soda Springs does quite a nice little 4th of July for such a small little town. We like to go up for it. One of the events we enjoy is the annual 5k. We enjoyed it last year anyway and are planning to run it this year too. Well my Mom has also decided to run it. I am so impressed with this, I almost burst a pride button. She has been working really hard to prepare. Kevin and Tess also started training and not to be left out Rick has started hitting the treadmill too. So I am a bit nervous that I will be left in the dust. I decided to check out the competition. So memorial day weekend I went for a little run with my Mom and then the next day we all (Rick, Mom and me) went running with Kevin and Tess. It was quite fun. They have obviously been training - they are all doing great. I am not as nervous as I was but I can see that I will have to get serious.
That afternoon we went shoe shopping with my Mom. She needed some new running shoes. So we headed out to the Sports Authority. Rick and I just kind of wandered around a bit and I decided to try on some running clothes just for fun. The funny thing about Sports Authority is they don't have separate Men's and Women's dressing rooms- you just all go in together. So Rick and I shared a room. It was kind of weird to have him in there watching me try on these little clothes designed with skinny people in mind. They were quite comfortable and did a great job of showing off my fat rolls. I put it back on the hanger and started getting dressed. Rick picked them up and left. Next thing I knew he was headed my way with a sack in his hand. He had just went and bought them. I was horrified. He thought they looked good, apparently he wasn't looking at them while they were on me. Anyway so I got new workout clothes. Believe it or not I love them. It is a wick away shirt (or something like that) and it does do a great job of wicking away my sweat. I have not got any of those painful raw rashes that used to linger under my arms since I started wearing it. As for showing off my fat rolls - oh well - maybe I will just have to run so fast no one can see them bobbing up and down.
