New shoes!

Yup, I have some new shoes. After almost 450 miles, we got to the shoe store and bought a new pair. Actually, they are the same model as the last pair, but boy, they look a lot brighter! Guess 450 miles will wear on a pair of shoes.

So I'm running fairly regularly. I'm hitting my long runs about every other week. And now that I'm running at lunch, I'm getting in at least 3 runs a week. I can easily sneak in 4. I'm sure everyone thinks I'm insane, but at least I'm not nearly as insane as I was getting up at 3:30am! Yeah, that was insane. Oh, but I'm not blogging as much as I'm logging. Haha, engineering joke there.

Today, first run in the new shoes. Ran 4.2 miles in 35:39 for a pace of 8:29. Really not so bad. Temperature outside was in the mid 30s. Little bit of wind and a little bit of flurries. Didn't feel too cold. I'm only about 150 miles short of making the 1000 miles this year. Only thing about running during lunch is that I don't have as many walking miles any more. I'll try walking the dog tonight, and I can still get up "semi-" early to walk him. I think he misses that. Only thing is that I don't really miss waking up so early. But I can do it for him. Wow, only 150 miles to go! I can easily plod along that much. I think. Ok, I just will ... keep plodding on!
