So, I was trying on stilettos last night with a friend, running around in a Benny Hill fashion through the back of the store, when it hit me: I can sprint in stilettos.
I've done it several times downtown (drunk, no less). I am considering entering the Jimmy Choo sprint/dash, if there is one, next year. It happens in Germany. They offer mucho amounts of Jimmy Choo shoes to the winner.
Discuss.

Why not?
I had cycling camp and only took my cycling shoes. So the only non-cycling shoes I had were the ones I had worn to work. I got a few comments ...

Try not. Do or do not... there is no try.

Sign me up! I, too, can run in heels (and I enjoy showing off this skill!). In fact, yesterday a co-worker mentioned that I looked like someone in an action movie as I ran across the street, dodging traffic in my heels.

oh, am sure that Teigyr - being the amiable, helpful sort o' woman - would be amenable to wear cycling socks...that is, until she pulls out the pole and then, who knows what'll happen!!
