Got to wear my new shoes I bought yesterday.  It was about time too- 586 miles is too many miles on a pair of shoes for me.  When I put the new ones on, I realized how bad the old ones had gotten.  I kept waiting for some super deal to come along, or to find the same shoe I'd been running in on clearance.  But it wasn't meant to be.  I had to go try on a new model (which ended up fitting great, but I'm always nervous about new models) and pay through the nose for the shoes and the superfeet.  Happy Birthday money to me :-)

I ran on the trails with MR.  Some good hills, some sand, and a little bit of climbing up an embankment of shrubs because the road we were on just ended, and we didn't have time to back track.  I got 3 thorns embedded in my leg and felt super tough.

Overcast & humid, but breezy enough to make it feel nice enough to run at 630 in the morning.

You shouldn't need thorns to feel tough, you are one of the toughest people I know. Better watch your tires if you mess with QP :)

Awwww, shucks Terri. You know just how to butter me up ;-)
