funny story...
(mildly running related)
so despite my best intentions i went out last night (but was v good and switched to diet coke and then soda waters pretty early on). towards the end of the night at the meatmarket, sorry the establishment, both the girls i was there with were getting better acquainted with some gentlemen friends and i was talking to one of their mates (i am such a good wing-woman). turns out he was in sydney from brisbane doing a reconn of footlocker and its competitors because he is their QLD running shoe buyer or something like that. so we had a great chat about shoes and profitability of shoe stores and the like. certainly not something that i would have ever imagined chatting about over a drink before i got into this running lark :) he approved of my choice of shoe!
love it!
but now i am tired. roll on 5pm.
i'm thinking about a quick jaunt to the bay tomorrow for my 40 mins, and did i mention that i am doing the Mothers Day run this sunday - only the 4km (grr) but that is ok and i will see how fast I can do it!! i am aiming for under 26 mins (6m30s km) which should totally be doable as that is my slowish run pace now.
doesn't look like anyone else is going though so i think i'll be there allll on my own... :(
never mind. i suppose i could call my mum as i am running along ;)

Hi Ellie
I sent the stretching stuff to your hotmail address but it bounced ! Please send me a email to: gronk221atyahoo.com.au and I will reply with the attachment. :)
Definately call your mum!!! That would be a buzz :-) Good luck... you will run well, just run your own race and don't get too caught up in the excitment when the gun goes off.
Nab him Ellie - the money you save on running shoes into the future could herald the end of the great octogenarian hunt! Plus you will never be short of "friends" either ;-)
haha - no - he was not my type at all - and based in brisbane i suspect that the savings would be eaten up in transportation costs!
Good luck in your first race Ellie..I'm sure you will surprise yourself.
Was he shoe worthy?
Good luck for Sunday. I'm off now to run down to the TAB and lay the house on you going sub 26! :)
"he was not my type at all "...maybe so but did you score a free pair of shoes out of him?
