For the first time Paula invited me to come over so I didn’t have to walk the mile to my apartment. I almost passed out when I noticed my water bottle was kicked over and empty. When we came to a stop we walked to cool down as we grabbed our water bottles to take care of out thirst. My socks would be so wet you would thing I went swimming in them. Even my feet were sweaty and smelly after these long runs. I defiantly want to stay away from Paula when she takes her sneakers off today. My feet were burning I could just imagine how Sue felt in those knee-highs. Sue always wore these knee high socks, she claimed it was a fashion statement I always thought she was ashamed of her legs. We were all sweating the sweat was running down my legs, arms, and face. It was a long run day so we were running a ten-mile course. Once we started to run, I kept asking if she was still single because of her personality or her foot stench? Sue was rolling with laughter as I insulted her. Only this time she didn’t insult me back. It became habit to insult Paula’s foot odor as we stretched. The day started off the same as any other, we stretched and talked.
We were running together for six weeks when I sent Paula over the edge. It was always tough keeping up but it was better then running alone. I was working out nights to build some muscle so I would be tougher. You see, I’m only 5’3, very much so petite. When we went running, I had to work extra hard to keep up with them. I learned the hard way to treat people nicer. I also wanted to feel better then everyone, that’s why I put people down so much, it made me feel like I was better then people. I was always looking to push peoples buttons because I liked to see how people would respond. I once joked about her feet reeking, she went nuts on me. Pretty tall herself at 5’7 she had smaller size eight feet. That dirty blond hair of hers was always tied back. I could tell she was a good runner just from looking at her. Paula was more serious, yet she had a playful side. Sue had a strong upper body with an average build. The tallest of our threesome at 5’9, really strong legs with enormous ten foot feet. Sue was the funny one, she was always cracking jokes. They were a couple years older then I, maybe 20 or 21. We ran in the mornings for a couple weeks, but we never hung around after the runs. They were on the college track, and cross-country teams so I asked if they would mind me accompanying them on their runs. There were two girls that I had become friends with from my neighborhood. I had to stay in shape to make the soccer team at my college.
I was running in the mornings because even though it was humid, it was not really hot out. It was so hot you had to stay inside during the day.
