Never underestimate....

Luckily for me, my subway stop to work is the second one from the beginning of the line. This constantly affords me the luxury of obtaining a seat at an extremely low level of stress. Today I witnessed a woman in high heels speeding to a newly vacant seat. She was wearing what looked like the highest, most uncomfortable shoes and yet she glided almost effortlessly to reach her goal. Good for her I thought, after all I find running in flip flops especially difficult! Of course I'm sure she is only a sprinter and not a long distance runner. Because I think if the seat was available at the other end of the car instead of near by her journey would have been short lived.
