A little secret…
Okay, actually two secrets.
First, while people like to call me a runner, the truth is, I haven’t run for the last two months. And worse, I wasn’t running my normal 15-20 miles per week pace since the end of October. After participating in a half marathon group with Rogue Running (highly recommend it for first time and experienced runners), I burned out. I couldn’t force myself to run unless there was a race coming up — and then I would cram a bunch of running into a two-week period. Not exactly the smartest idea in the world.
But that changes today. I just finished a nice 3.5 route around my incredibly hilly ‘hood and while I was huffing and puffing, it felt good. Well, felt good if you like pain, which I apparently do. I hope to get back up to my normal pace/distance, but it will probably take some time and effort on my part, which I’m willing to do, especially if it means a pair of jeans 
Which brings me to the second secret. In a little less than two hours, our (Mere, Kristine, Ashley and myself) favorite jeans boutique in town — Hem — is having its annual jean clearance blowout. My best find last year — a $40 pair of True Religions that don’t fit me anymore. Sigh. But besides the point! The gang will be there, blogging the craziness live (think that episode from Friends when Monica is looking for a wedding dress) and maybe even have some live footage.
That sale continues through Sunday. But Saturday morning definitely has the best pickings.
