It all started innocently enough. I went to the gym and did my three miles in intervals today instead of as a steady-state run, and I was actually a minute faster than yesterday! It also helped that I had some toast shortly before I left home and got a decent night's sleep last night.
After the workout, my husband and I went to a restaurant for lunch, and the whole time I sat at the table, I had a primo view of the REI store across the street. Back home, the nearest REI is almost two hours away. I tend to order stuff from them on-line and hope it will fit (it usually does, but there are exceptions), but now the store's proximity was too much to resist. I told my husband, "I'll just take a quick look around." Famous last words...
I had drooled over a long-sleeve Salomon tech shirt that had been in their Christmas catalog, but there was no way I was going to pay full price for it. Lo and behold, there it was, marked down and in my size! How could I say no? I also walked out with a pair of Brooks calf-length capris with yellow reflective markings on them (safety first!), so if the mercury ever breaks 40° again back home, I have a really comfy outfit to wear.
I'm not sure what the proper treatment for RGAD is, but I hope I figure it out soon. I do still need running gloves...
