Fear of Soggy Feet

My day on jury duty yesterday was quite uneventful. I think the highlight was a judge coming in and asking if people were interested in sitting on a three week murder case. That would have been pretty interesting but three weeks? That’s a crazy long commitment! My favorite part of the whole day was going to Chipotle for lunch:
C thinks it’s really weird to go out to eat by yourself, even if it is something fast like Chipotle (reminds me of Rachel in Friends when she can’t dine alone). I like doing it occasionally… sometimes you just need that quiet time.
I also decided to try a new protein drink yesterday morning:
C challenged his coworker to the Special K diet for a week, where you have to have the cereal for breakfast, a bar for snack, this shake for lunch and a snack of chips… and then you can eat a sensible meal for dinner.
The taste is fine — it has a little bit of the chalky taste — but it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do: keep you full. I was hungry about 2 hours later and that was after drinking it with some toast. I think I’ll stick with my CLICK Espresso Vanilla Latte.
This morning I slept in a little bit and did a four mile run outside. Tomorrow is a three mile run, the last run before RACE DAY! Which by the way, is just getting rainier and rainier. It will definitely be an experience to run 26.2 in the rain. However, maybe it won’t rain the entire time… The one thing I am most concerned about is soggy feet. Any good sock recommendations? I have some Nike Dri-Fit ones that might be best.
Yay or nay: Eating alone?
Do you run the day before a big race or use it as a rest day? I always use it as a rest day because otherwise my legs get crabby… even if its just a quick mile run!

I have never had to do jury duty- yet. I don’t know how I haven’t been selected to participate…yet. I am sure that my time will come!
I love going to Chipotle for lunch or dinner. The salad is awesome!
Usually you get a questionnaire before you get called so you'll get some warning
I remember the first time I went to a movie by myself! I was terrified I would see someone I knew and would be embarrassed, haha. Now I’m fine with it! I’ll eat alone but usually prefer to have a book or computer or something if it’s not going to be quick! Thats because I just get bored easily though haha!
I totally did that (went to movie by myself) and C thought I was crazy!
The only time I ran in the rain I obviously didn’t have the best socks because I got blisters on all toes
hopefully you find something that works!
Oh no! That doesn't sound good
I have not been to Chipotle because I don’t like dining alone. I guess maybe that will be a goal to have in this new year! I will run before a race if I am too wound up. I have had days where I didn’t run because I was calm and some days where I did an insane bike ride because I had nerves so bad!
You totally need to go!! Otherwise I might fly out to Boise to go with you.
I love movies solo, but I haven’t really tried a sit-down restaurant solo. Now I feel like I need to go out and try it!
You should! I think you'll enjoy it!
