I need to add another shoe in there...my first day out in my new Mizunos.  They were great.

Things held up well, and I took another new route.  It was just an out and back, but on a new road that went off somewhere I hadn't been before.

I did get a little worried at one point.  I stopped to get directions straightened out for a minute, and as I was jogging in place, a couple of turkey vultures came running down the road toward me.  I must have looked like I was ready to die!  I grabbed my pepper spray and was ready to fire, but as I started running again toward them, they took off into the field.

I had to laugh at how it must have looked.  Then I got thinking about pepper spray on turkey vultures, and it made me think of KFC's new fire (spicy) grilled chicken.  I wonder if it's any good?

More stretching and physical therapy/strengthening today.  Had to take a day off before I try the shred video again.  Everything on me is sore, especially my arms and anything that is attached to them.  It will do me good to keep at the video. 

Happy New Year to everyone.  Hope it's good and filled with many beautiful miles.

I can imagine it would be a funny sight to see turkey vultures after you. I am sure I look a little dead on a run sometimes as well. I have never done the shred video, but job to you for doing it! I hope your soreness doesn't last very long.

That's funny about the pepper spray, turkey vultures, and KFC.

Rachel got your text and told me about your sore arms from the shred while she and I were eating cookies.
