Thoughts Running Through My Head

Yesterday I bought a pair of running shorts. I haven’t purchased anything like them in years. Every summer I have pulled out my old capris, or bought new ones if it was necessary, to cover up as much of my legs as I could while still providing them with slightly more breathing room than full length pants would allow. On top of this marvel is the fact that my new article of clothing is actually specifically designed to be worn for jogging. Just what do I think I am doing? To be honest, I am still not sure myself…

Then today, I bought a running belt. It’s one of those thin types that you can slip under your shirt and is hardly noticeable; it’s designed to hold small things like identification, keys, and lip balm and it’s perfect for a minimalist like me. I told the woman whom I purchased it from that I had lost a lot of weight and that I had just finished the C25K. As I was getting ready to leave the store she commented on the fact that I am now an athlete. That threw me. I have never been called that in my life…
