Monday Musings
Whirlwind. Weekend. Here we go!

Wednesday night I went to the Cards + Cubs game with my college suite mate (we shared a bathroom). Beer + Stadium food + Serenading the shuttle driver. Yep, it happened.
Thursday on my way home from work this happened. A piece of construction material (drywall/sheet rock) came off the truck in front of me and clobbered my poor Escape. Terrifying as it was, I didn't have/cause and accident, and I walked away with a glass shards everywhere and a few scratches. Praise be to God!

Cocktails with some of my fave ladies (and guy).
Pink Mizuno + Purple Saucony |
Shoe shopping. My Nike's had to go to shoe heaven after speed work last week, which only meant one thing - my bank account was gonna take a beating.
I've had a nagging, ok not nagging STABBING pain on the inside of my lower leg for a few weeks. So I ditched my ole kicks which helped, but just to be sure I've got an appointment with an ortho Thursday. Fingers crossed the pain is only in my imagination...
Mint Mizuno + Purple Saucony |
Reason 2353463094 I ONLY get my kicks from Big River Running Co and love them lots like tator tots - the guy literally spent 40 minutes explaining each shoe I was going to try on, let me run/walk./bounce like a fool in them (I was nervous to try them out on the treadmill for fear of wiping out). In addition, he explained the wear on my current shoe (tip: bring your old shoes in for analysis) - mid foot strike, speed, left foot works harder. When he said my shoes showed speed I lit up like a Christmas tree. Naturally.
Winner? Mint Mizuno (MFL). Though the purple are badass, the arch support left a little to be desired, and if you are spending $$$ for shoes they better be everything you dreamed of, and a bottle if Champagne...
They had to be shipped from another store, and as we speak I'm wondering if I can hold out till the new Mizuno's come out in July...that or rob a bank/get a sugar daddy.

Miles has taken over the problem child role. While Rubin has settled into full on needy, and must be touching you - at all times. Last week the little stinker escaped the yard not once, not twice, but five times!? I was certain my new neighbor whom I have yet to see/meet was going to snipe shot me from her balcony for entering her yard. I was fully ready to have the cops called on me.
Update: Almost two weeks and no escape attempts. #thankgodformiracles
