Twinkies

Dustin and I have ran many races together so consequently we have thousands (approximate lol) of the same shirts. MANY times we will get ready for a run and see that we have either set out, or put on, the same shirt, many times the same outfit (ie with black shorts). We always feel like idiots running around like twinkies. This morning the same thing happened. Dustin got dressed while I was with Basil. Then I got dressed while he was putting in his contacts. We both came out with the same St. Patrick ’s Day tech tee. We were running in separate places, so it really didn’t matter but it was really funny. It’s like, “Really? Out of ALL our running clothes and race shirts we choose the same one?”

This even translates to when we go out. Sometimes we have to “call” a color combination so the other won’t put on the same color. Whoever put out or had the outfit on first gets to wear it. The worst was one Saturday in Springfield when we wanted to work out and shower at the gym so we could stay in town to run some errands, go to the mall, get dinner, etc. We walked out of the locker room and realized that we had both packed the EXACT same shirt. To make it even better we both choose jeans to wear with it. All day we walked around looking like those families that are so cute that they wear the same Christmas sweater for photos. Geez. 

If next time you see us out and we are wearing the same thing, please know that we didn’t plan it. We, too, find it very strange and will understand if you feel the need to yell out, “twinkies!!”
