the gloves in question

here is the text message conversation I had with my husband this afternoon after I frantically (okay, so not so frantically) looked all over the house for my favorite running mini gloves.

{me} do you have the mini gloves?

{peter} yes!

{me} oh man! I ned them to go running... plus I wiped snot all over them on my last run. sorry.

{peter} yes

so as you can see, my husband is very secure in his manhood (come on, red 'n pink striped mini gloves!) and is not afraid of a little snot. all good things.

needless to say, I went on the run sans gloves. I just pulled my little sleeves over my fists and went for it. it was a little chilly, but I eventually got over it.

I felt good. I felt pretty fast. (that's all relative, because who knows how fast I was actually going.) I stretched and iced when I got home. I was supposed to have another massage tonight, but my massage therapist is sickly. {get better, becky!} we'll give it a go next week for sure.

Snot - that's fine.
Pink tights - can do that.
Pink gloves - never.

You need to get a Garmin so you know how fast you're going. Great training tool, I can't imagine running without one!

(Brought to you by Garmin, who's always looking for free advertising.... okay, not really)

zach, I've actually got a garmin (the garmin 201), but I don't really trust it all the time. it loses satellite signal really easily. have you tried the garmin 301, by chance? is it any better?
