local running store.

we went to fleet feet yesterday to look into some racing flats for me. not that i NEED racing flats but i have a little birthday money to spend and i'd like a pair of race day shoes for the shorter races and later this summer for some speed work. anyway, we went into fleet feet and the place was packed...good for them we thought. i looked through the selection and didn't see any mizuno flats (i love how my new mizunos fit) so i was going to ask a question about availability. 1 simple question (i tried on the brooks, asics and addidas ones they had on display while waiting). well, apparently high schoolers (and their parents) don't like waiting in line so after a half an hour i didn't get to ask a question. hmmm. what bothers me is that we've been in there many times before, they recognized us and kind of ignored us being there (they kept saying 'thanks for waiting' even though they kept helping people coming in after us)....i guess i'll have to consider holabird sports instead-the prices are much better even with shipping. i do value running stores in the community but it can't be a painful AND a more expensive experience.

what a great weekend weather-wise. warm and sunny. warmer today. warmest tomorrow (we've got a shot at 60!!). nicey nice.
