New Shoes!

I purchased some gear today. Now I feel like a real runner, even if I don't really look like one yet. Turns out I was running in shoes that were 4 years old, it was good to replace them.

I did my 1/2 hour today, I ran outside as it was sprinkling a bit. It was nice, aside from the fact that I was wearing my glasses and couldn't see so well.

I'm still interviewing potential pants. I had a pair I thought worked, but today they betrayed me. As I was running, they kept sliding down no matter how tight I tied the waist knot. Sunday I wore some terrible pants on my long run, they kept exposing my belly and potentially more had I not worked out a system of pulling them up every 30 seconds or so. My arms were a bit sore after the run I think due to the pulling up motion, an added workout.

I raised enough money for my hat today! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. Only $2,150 more to go..... YIKES!
