The Joy Of New Running Gear
Have you seen those various memes online that say something along the lines of:

I tried them out on a run yesterday. Actually two runs yesterday — both, somewhat unpleasantly, in light rain. The first run was a short 3.88km when I literally ran to the grocery store to pick up some chicken breasts for my pup (she has a bit of a upset tum so the chicken breasts are to boil up for her). And I ran home with a package of chicken breasts in a backpack.
I went out again later in the afternoon for a second run. I’d meant to only run 4.12km to make it an even 8km, but accidentally ended up…
