The story of the stinky shoes

I went to the gym ready to do four miles, but in the middle of the run I remembered I only needed to do 3! So that was a pleasant surprise! I ended up running the last mile much faster because I had plenty of energy left. After my run I stretched a little and did two weight machines while I waited for my dad to finish.

But back to the the story.
So, a few weeks ago I participated in a half marathon; I ran, I sweated, and I conquered. Then, I took a running hiatus until I started my training program for the marathon last week. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about my shoes. Since I run in my vibram five fingers, my shoes get really smelly, especially after my races. The shoes don't really smell bad when they have dried but once you "moisten them again", aka sweat them up again, they smell really really bad.

Long story short,
my shoes smelled really bad today because I ran six miles in them on Saturday and haven't washed them since my half marathon. I didn't really think anything of it until I noticed that everyone who got on the treadmill next to me, left after a minute or so for a different treadmill. Now, it is possible that the machine wasn't working, but there was someone using it fine before I got there. Lucky for me I can simply put them in the washing machine; which I will do right after I finish this post.

So there you have my awkward stinky smelly shoe story. :P

However, on the the positive note, I tried a different type of treadmill today and didn't fall at all!!!
