%#*@**!!!
I know things change and time marches on, but why can’t there be a few more things you can depend on?
When I bought my first real running clothes, I didn’t know anything about it, other than it needed to wick the moisture away. I found some inexpensive tops at Kohl’s and I bought three of them because the tag said they wicked moisture away. I really liked them. When I was ready to buy a few more of them, I went back and couldn’t find the same ones. I figured it didn’t matter and I bought some different ones. I didn’t like them as well. I’ve bought several different ones over the last couple of years and I haven’t found any that I like better than those original ones.
I bought some fitted running pants from Target the second winter I ran (can you believe I ran the first winter in jeans?!! =:O ). They are comfortable and they keep me warm and I like them waaaaay better than jeans. I went back to get a few more and evidently they don’t make that same kind any more.
Eddie Bauer changed the jeans that I love. Wegman’s got me hooked on their three mushroom soup from the soup bar and then BOOM, it disappeared. After nearly a year, I still don’t like my car as well as I loved the one I had before.
I’m also annoyed because once again, the forecast for the weekend looks less than acceptable for a wimpy runner like me. I don’t like the word “wind” coupled with below freezing temperatures — two days after yet another coating of snow/ice. I’ve ventured outside a couple of days to run in the last couple of weeks and have quickly retreated to the rec center in the face of a cold wind, or a thin SLICK layer of frost on the trail. Not to mention actual precip. For me, running is about exercise – not about being miserable.
I suppose there’s a chance I’ll venture out on Saturday — but not much of one.
I sure hope the new year brings the traditional January thaw.
Happy New Year.
Be Safe.
