New Gear!

It rained all day Thursday and Friday so we did a 5 miler in the arboretum. It was a lot more flat (but not flat) than Wednesday's run. I stopped a few times. And wanted to stop about fifteen three more times. I was proud though, we ran the second 2.5 miles straight back and it took about 23 minutes. I think it is going to help me so much to have someone to push me. I just hope I can help motivate her somedays too (eventually!).

I also got some new trail shoes.

Wow that picture is super small. Anyways, they are New Balance 573 Trail Runners. I found them at discount shoes for 50 bucks. I don't usually buy running shoes without doing a lot of research (and I haven't bought anything other than Mizuno Wave's for three years) but I figured I can't be running trails in the street shoes.

Even though they are the best shoes ever. I was nervous that trail shoes would be heavy, but this pair is really light and I actually really enjoyed running in them. We'll see, but so far so good. I'm worn out, I really need to go visit my friend Bob though.

Weight loss yoga. I need to stretch, badly. But I want to sleep! Not enough time in the day!
