Today I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone. I wanted to do an outside run and I needed to go to the ATM and get deodorant, mascara, nail polish and gum (technically I only needed the deodorant, but I wanted the rest). So I decided to run to the ATM then I ran to the Rite Aid.
Before my run I was trying to open my new iPod charger (I lost my old one and I won’t be able to share Mom’s in a week so I sprung for a new one). As I was opening it I sliced my finger on the little plastic thingy that is on the top of the package to hang it up. Ow. I freaked out and grabbed some gauze to stop the bleeding. Luckily Mom came in from the gym minutes later and I made her look at it. She said it wasn’t that bad. But I decided bugs and blood are the top 2 reasons I should not be allowed to live alone. Ah well, 8 days to get over my fears.
Ouch! Ignore the boxes in the back...I'm packing!
On to the run! The side walks were a little icy so my run turned into a run/walk. The outside of my foot is also bugging me. Yikes. Maybe that’s what I get for running 4 days in a row. Tomorrow will be a hangover rest day so hopefully that will help.
Anyway, the title of the post. Normally you don’t see sweaty people trying to shove deodorant, mascara, gum, and nail polish into a fuel belt in the Rite Aid. I’m pretty sure the store people thought I was trying to shop lift. Awkward. With my fuel belt stuffed to the gills I headed off to finish the rest of my run. I probably looked like I had a hump under my jacket because it was so big. Ha.

I ended up doing 3.37 miles in 42:29. Much slower than normal, but with the ice and my foot and the fact that I walked a decent amount, whatever.
Bye 2010!
