I made my first visit to a local running specialty store. The store was very nice and had everything a runner could want or need. The guys did not look at me too funny when I explained to them that I am preparing for my first 5k in June. They wanted to help and were sure they could, but they were so wrong. I felt like Cinderella's fat sister trying on the glass slipper. So close and yet so far away from a shoe I could walk out of the store with. Sadly the experience only confirmed my view that no one expects a 400+ man to run or even train for a 5k.
I enjoy standing out and being the best me I can be so I will push. Instead of coming home and eating a half gallon of butter-pecan ice cream like I would have before I bought new bright green shoe strings for my running shoes. Now it is time for the puff paint. 49 days and counting............
