Band concerts don't end up being too bad if they are in an auditorium. However, if they are in a gym and you're tall and there's no leg room in the bleachers and no backs on the seats, the concerts can get pretty long pretty fast.
Even in an auditorium, when the other bands are playing, you need to try to hide the fact that you're trying to sleep (me) or using you're phone (Mrs. JCyclonee).
Seriously, I will miss these.
Running shoes are good for about 6 months so if they are older than that, get new ones. I would go in (with your running shoes) and see if the type of shoe is right for your stride. If there's a Fleet Feet Sports nearby, go there. Obviously some people just want you to buy shoes, but my experience with Fleet Feet hasn't been like that. They were more concerned with me running in the right type of shoe.
Cross stitching while watching PBS? You sure you're not 70 years old?
My phone just updated my keyboard, a lot of extra crap on it now.
I know the neighbor ladies that run all use a store called the Running Room. I googled it to see if there were any stores in Madison. They only have U.S. stores in Minnesota, Iowa and Hawaii.
Fleet Feet is where I went the first time and now they've built one on my side of town.
kinda off topic, but when we moved here they had just opened a brand new high school and I was like cool, my kids will get to go to a new school. Though it'd have been like 20 years old by the time they got there. Well the town has exploded since then and now it's looking like a second high school will be built in the next five years. With the land the school district owns, I'm guessing we would be in the new high school's boundaries. So now I'm like ok it'll be really new when my kids get there now. Anyway, my hope is that the auditorium will have real seats or something. Also I'm not long legged so that part is fine. Not for DH though. I forgot about the no backing part, that does suck.
Mine did both. There are good and bad points about both venues - have you ever listened to a 5th grade band concert?
I have not. I've heard some painful high school ones. Our district is supposed to have one of the best band/choir programs in the state so I'm hopeful. I mean, I would guess I would enjoy it about as much as 5th grade level sports. =
It's just kind of a thing I'm going with right now....it just seems like every time someone is talking about running, it's about the horrible things their body is doing in response to running.
No, the issue is specifically related to putting my foot under my leg when I sit. Hence, I correct that.
I know that you are mostly joking, but the comments people have made about discomfort while running have been trying to get advice as to what they need to change while running so they can eliminate the discomfort. So let them know what they are doing wrong and you won't have to read their complaints. Since you refuse to fix it for them the problem is obviously you!
So we are back where we started. If the solution to the problems they are having while running is to stop running, the solution to your problems while sitting on the couch eating snacks watching TV is to stop watching TV, stop eating snacks and stop sitting on the couch.
GTO, it sounds like we won't be able to have Cheese-its in the house because Double-aught can't control himself.
Nooo...again, the common denominator there is that my foot is under my leg. If I sit on the couch and eat cheez-its and watch TV without having my foot under my leg, I don't get sore. If I sit in a lawn chair with my foot under my leg, I get sore. Therefor, I have identified the issue and corrected it. I have also suggested that the common denominator for all this pain is that people are running. You bicyclists don't complain about heel striking and what not. Perhaps these runners should take up bicycling.
