August 2007: D6/23

So, a few months ago I bought two pairs of running shoes on sale. Saucony Grid, my favourite stability shoe, one pair with light pink stripes, the other pair with dark pink stripes. I keep one pair in my gym bag at work, and one pair on the shoe rack at home.

I think we all know where I'm going with this.

This afternoon I happened to be doing one-arm dumbbell rows, and happened to look down at my feet. I'm a runner; do I never look at my own feet? Apparently not. Yes, on my left foot I had light pink stripes, and on my right, dark pink. Good lord. You know I've been running around for the past four months with mismatched shoes like a fashion-challenged three-year-old. I am an idiot.

1:00 PM
5-min dynamic warmup
dumbbell press, 3x12, 20 lbs
one-arm dumbbell row, 3x12, 20 lbs
lat pulldown, 3x12, 45 lbs (wuss!)
upright row, 3x12, 40 lbs

Felt a little sluggish and weak at the gym, although that might just be due to increased reps.
