    A SRD today, good thing with it being the hottest day of the year.  Got my run in yesterday afternoon (4.6 miles) despite the disbelief othey DW.  However inspite of all (heat, dew point, humidity, etc.) it was the first run in awhile that clicked so I was glad that I got it in.

     

    The nice thing about having a uniform for work is that it takes out the inappropriate stuff I have read about.

      I meant for court!!!!

      Read my post, damn it!

       

      Hmmmm, well I better make sure I clean my closet out of all the stripper heels.Big grin

       

      And better get rid of all that spandex biking and running gear and  that ridiculous wet suit.

       

      I hear lots of people think over 50 women shouldn't be wearing that stuff either.Big grin

       

      Hubby and I are heading out tomorrow morning for a 4 hour drive north and a weekend away.

      Doing our first ocean swim triathlon on Sunday. Jellyfish are common in the area and I'm

      going to try not to get dragged out to sea. Making it to the finish line is my main goal!

        Your post said "if you are over 50 they start looking ridiculous"

         

        So I would say court or not, that comment relates to women over 50 wearing high heels.

         

        Not that I wear them often, but I look damn good when I do.Big grin

            The post only talks about women wearing stripper heels in court.  I don't know where you got your conclusions but that is not what I was talking about.

              We are already register for another Aug 25 and found one to race August 31st when we are

              in Ottawa visiting our son for the long weekend. That will be 5 for me this year and 4 for hubby in his

              first season of tri.

               

              We are signing up tomorrow for the early discount on a 1/2 Iron next July.  I get nervous just

              typing that.Big grin

                I'm not over 50 yet (not for many, many, MANY years) so I can wear whatever I want. Na na!!! Big grin  But I'm going to be a damn grand-mother in a few months, so does that change things for me? If so, grrr... For the record, I've always looked atrociously ridiculous in stripper heels, mostly because I can't walk straight with them on and I have that "OMG I'm gonna fall!" expression on my face whenever I wear anything higher than 2.5 inches. But if I could wear them, on occasion, I would. Not at work though. I work in a daycare and I think the parents would start wondering about my sanity if I wore high heels there. lol...

                 

                Damaris, I agree that anyone who works in an environment such as court has a responsibility to dress up for the job. Pajamas like bottoms are cute only when worn at home, in the evening. Otherwise, they are UGLY!

                 

                SIAR, I meant to thank you for your kind advice yesterday. Smile And everybody else, I've read all of your posts today, but it's so hot here and it makes me so lazy even though I want to comment to all of you. I'm sorry... :-(

                  Beth, good luck to you and Mr. Beth on your tris!

                        to do the Olympic distance, not a sprint. Oh well, better to know ahead of time.Smile

                                It was. This place makes great pizza and pasta.  It's very expensive but so is the rest of downtown.  Worth it!
