I'm so sad it's Monday. I could use an extra day of sleep.
Saturday I went to a Quilt Show and learned how to actually do binding, aka not the disaster I was doing before hand. That ish is hard. M and I had planned on walking around Old Town Alexandria Saturday afternoon, but he got stuck doing laundry and didn't get over until late. And once he got to my place, he realized he didn't have his wallet or our race packets, so I ended up going with him to his place for the night.
Sunday we got up super early and took the metro into DC for the St. Patty's Day 8K. It was a bunch of fun - M's mom joined us as well. I ended up coming in at 51:38, which was awesome, since I hadn't run in like 2 weeks, and I had to walk a couple times (just for a minute, max each time) when I was starting to ache. My shoes also kicked the bucket at mile marker 3, so the last 2 miles were like running barefoot. Talk about a rough race. I'm still super pleased with my time though.
I got new shoes last night, which I'm returning today, since the girl wasn't sure about my feet, and I was worried about not having a new pair in time for my run tonight. I'm going to run them up to the store I work close to at lunch and see if they'll re-fit me and get me into something I'm confident in. Apparently I have a neutral right foot, and supinate on my left, which is different than what I had two years ago when I got my last pair, so I had no idea what I needed, and she just kind of stared dumbly at me, handed me a different pair of Brooks, and that was the end of it for her.
