Wow-down a size and a half!
Not in clothes, I wish. But shoes!
What the heck?
So today I discovered that I need new running shoes. I have been using my trail shoes but they were really starting to hut my feet on the treadmill and when I wasn't trail hiking. So, I decided to try my daughters running shoes on, to get a feel before I go out and start trying on a bunch. Hers are super cute, and we generally run about the same size. She is usually an 8-8.5 and I am a 8.5-9. So I was like, hey ok, lets check it out.
I put them on and discovered not one but 2 NSV's!
First, I can tie my shoes while seated and bending over!! Not with my foot up on my leg in weird contortions! It was weird, I didn't even think about it, just slipped the shoe on, bent over and voila! Shoes were being tied. Yay!
Second, I discovered that the super cute running shoes, that my daughter had said were an 8.5 were actually a 7.5! What?!?! How does that happen. How does ones foot size change? I know that my feet are less wide, but shorter too?
So it's a good day so far. Now off to the gym to hot the treadmill in preparation for my first 5k in September. Bubble Run in San Diego.
