I finally bought some new running shoes!
Yesterday was a cold, rainy, yucky day. I told myself if I went running in it I would reward myself with a new pair of running shoes (which I needed anyway - I’ve been running on the roads in my trail shoes because I didn’t want to spend any extra $). I bought some cute pink Asics which have tons of support. I’ll wear these at Boston.
So I forced myself to go out in the rain and run. You know - it wasn’t so bad! I wore shorts, technical Tshirt, and a light fleece and gloves. I was cold for about 20 seconds when I first walked outside and then I was perfect. The rain wasn’t too bad at all, and I was out on the towpath by myself. I like running on the towpath when no one else is around because you can hear the river. It sounds really neat splashing along. Plus you can hear the birds now that the weather has warmed up a little. I didn’t wear my watch, but I felt like I was running pretty fast. I only ran like 5 miles because I didn’t have much time so I was running a bit faster than I normally would.
Thank you everyone for the wonderful words of encouragement and congratulations on my new job. I’ll be posting info about it once I officially start on April 6th. I’m so excited!
Tonight I’m going to Ray’s indoor mountain bike park. I’m a little nervous as I haven’t been on my mountain bike for MONTHS! Oh, well - it will still be fun!
