That's how I was stopped while walking at Gateway this afternoon for lunch, a guy on a bike rolls up to me.
Here's how the conversation went;
Me "Oh yes, that is clear down on the opposite end."
And he said, "Oh okay, do you work there?"
I said, "No."
"Oh, well you look just like a girl that works there."
"No, sorry I thought you were asking where it was."
"Well, I was."
Awkward silence....
Him "So where are you walking to in such a hurry?"
No where, just on my lunch break.
Him "Oh well how nice that I can accompany you on your lunch. Do you want me to sing you a song?"
Trying not to laugh, I politely declined.
Now I am wondering why didn't I say yes?? I mean, it's not every day that someone offers to serenade you.
Maybe next time...if there ever is one. ;)

Sexy toes!!
Got my new Vibrams yesterday! This model is the Sprint. Took Atreyu for a 2.30 mile run in them and it definitely felt weird, but in a good way. I averaged a 9.06 min mile. My calves are pretty sore today. I should have stretched more when I finished. I also had some weird sensations in my foot while running but I know it's because I am using muscles in my foot and lower leg I've never had to use before. I went on the Vibram website after and it said I shouldn't run more than 1 mile for the first week...oops!! I want to run in them again today, but it said not to run consecutive days either. I guess I will have to be patient. I am really excited to get a lot of miles on these baby's, and hopefully not have any more running injuries!
Look at those sexy toes!
The big toe and pinky toe fit perfectly,
my other toes only fill about half the sleeve
but that will be our little secret ;)

Work Dilemma
New guy - really, really annoying
Boss - doesn't like the new guy
I witnessed something today and am not sure how to handle it or if I should even bother. I don't think there is anything I can do anyway, but the situation is still messed up. I really can't stand this new sales guy but I try to be as civil as possible because I have to deal with him. We are both in sales. He has been coming to me explaining how frustrated he is because he is new and doesn't know a lot and is getting a lot of pressure from our manager to perform. I am also hearing the same thing from our manager who is frustrated with him because he thinks he needs to be taking more initiative. It seems I am always the middle man in these types of situations. So I've been trying to help out and this week I have been giving the new guy a couple of pretty good leads on some new accounts. This morning our manager had a meeting with him and pretty much told him that he wasn't doing a good job. Then when the new guy came back and explained how he had 4 or 5 possible new accounts, my manager says, "Well how did you get those?" Not wanting to get me involved, he said they were all call-ins to him. He had even gone out and collected some samples and asked if they were any good. Our manager said, oh no, those aren't worth anything. I know for a fact that material is worth money. So, what I am getting from all of this is that my manager doesn't really like this guy and doesn't want to see him succeed, even though he is trying. What do you do in a situation like that?? I feel horrible, but I honestly don't think there is anything I can do.

Time flies...
Wow, has it really been that long since I have last posted my thoughts to the world wide web? Well I am back and a lot has happened the past four months. My life has been a roller coaster...I'll start by saying that I wasn't able to run the marathon I signed up for. I got another stress fracture, this time in my left leg. I am going to give it another month or two and try a whole new approach to my running. The Dr. said I need to change my running form, so I'm going to get me a pair of the "minimalist" shoes and try those on for size. If all goes well, I am considering trying a marathon at the end of the year.
I have also been dating someone and am really happy right now!! This guy is like no other guy I have ever been with. This may sound stupid but he makes me feel like a woman. He takes care of me, which is weird to be honest. I've always been the "caretaker" and now the role has been reversed. I've never felt safer in someone arms either. If any males are reading this, you need to know that it really is the small things that make a BIG impact. Example; One night we were driving home from the movie and I wasn't feeling very well, he drove past my street and I said, Ummm you just passed my street, he said, I know and then pulled into the parking lot of Dans, took me inside and bought me some medicine. I will never forget that. I also have a wheat allergy and have to avoid all gluten. This guy went home after I had told him and researched it and now is always asking me, wait, is this gluten free? I just keep thinking he's too good to be true. Another night we were hanging out and my sister and her bf got into a little tiff. Later that night, he asked me what things set me off, because he never wants to make me mad. I mean, seriously? I didn't think these men existed. How did I get so lucky?? And to top it off he is so damn cute!! I really did find the whole package. But for some reason, a little voice in the back of my mind keeps telling me to not get my hopes up, that I don't deserve this, and a part of me is just waiting for the day that this guy is going to break my heart. WHY? I want to punch that little voice right in the babymaker! So I have been approaching this "relationship" with major caution. We've been dating about 6 months and I still don't feel comfortable calling him my boyfriend, and I think he feels the same way about calling me his girlfriend.
I guess my point here is that I need to silence that little voice and keep telling myself that I do deserve to be happy! Because I REALLY DO!
Until next time :)

This lady needs her own reality show
You cannot believe the conversation I just had with a lady at work. Actually, if you knew this lady, then you would believe it. There isn't really a word to describe her...at least I haven't been able to come up with one that fits. If I want to waste at least 15 minutes of my time at work all I have to do is go into her office and say good morning, then it begins...
I tell her that I am training for a marathon and have been pretty sore. Then she comes back with "Don't drink too much water or you'll die, it almost happened to my niece. She was in the hospital for 2 days and continues to tell me every detail of what happened, this goes on for about 10 minutes, and all I have time to get in, is "Oh really, Yeah" and some head nods. Then it turns into how it happened to her 10 years ago...in 1999(which is actually 12 years, but I didn't want to interrupt her) and how she was getting hypnotized to try to lose weight. She said that they hypnotized her to constantly want water. She tells me she drank 8, 32 oz glasses of water a day...ends up going to the Dr for that and he tells her that she is drowning herself from the inside out and that she needs to drink a soda in between the water to counteract the water....There are so many things wrong with that last sentence but I continue to listen because that's all you can do when chatting with this lady. If you dare argue with what she says just plan on being in her office all day. Then the story takes a turn for the worse...getting hypnotized caused her to break out in hives for 3 years...yes, 3 years. Because her sub-conscious wouldn't allow her body to lose weight, so her mind was in a constant battle with itself and that's what caused the hives. She tells me every part of her body that she had the hives and says the Dr. gave her a little red pill that made her not itch...and luckily she didnt' get them on her face. Then she says I am lucky it was mostly winter when I had them because I just wore turtlenecks. Wait, it was winter for 3 years?? Then someone walked in to tell us that there was chocolate cake and that ended the conversation real quick...she was all over that like white on rice.

Runners are crazzzay
I did it. I signed up for the Salt Lake Marathon on Friday, cost almost $100.00. No turning back now!
Did a 7 miler yesterday outside in the rain and I think it was about 40 degrees...it was one of the best runs I have had yet. After running almost a month indoors on a treadmill, I was reminded yesterday of why I fell in love with running in the 1st place.
