White Screen of Death and other Randomness

Is anyone else getting the white screen of death when they try to comment on a blog? It's annoying the crap out of me. I usually read in google reader then head over to the blog if I want to comment. For the last week or so, every time I try to do that I get this blank white screen. WTF blogger?

So sorry if it appears that I've been MIA from your blog. Rest assured I've still been blog stalking as usual.

I'm trying to break these beauties in. My 13's are still more comfortable and are my go to shoe, but they've got about 400 miles on them.

This is the card that B-rad got me for my birthday. On the inside he wrote in the website as '3xabear.blogpot.com' (Riley's nickname is the bear). Pretty original!

He also got me some toys:

The quickdraw water bottle that I'd been hinting at and a Nathan VITAband. More to come on the VITAband later, because it's a really cool product!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I have to work but will be doing my long run tomorrow, say a prayer that I'll be able to breathe!! Riley's been giving me kisses to make it better!

Tomorrow's the last day to enter my giveaway!

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!
