We are not normally princess types. We pride ourselves on being strong and capable, not at all meek and mild. However, when it comes to things in our shoes, we are total wimps. Like that princess and the pea, I can feel the tiniest pebble stuck in the sole of my shoe, and I don’t care if we’re doing a speed workout, I’ve got to stop and get it out.

Today, Julia out-princessed me in the biggest way. Can you tell what she got stuck in her “footwear”?

Yes, that would be a buttercup. Okay Julia – you’re princess for a day! Thanks for a great long run!
