<p>Morning gangstas</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No running for me today.  Race tomorrow.  This will be the 3rd year in a row running this race.  Only real goal is to beat last years time (21:36).  I'd be blown away if I could slide in under 21 for the 1st race of the year.  I told DW that I was excited about racing this year and she asked why, and I told her I was gonna race more 'balls out' this year.  She said I needed to find a nicer term.  But I do plan on racing harder this year, no more second-mile-sandbags.</p>

<p>Good luck out there today.</p>

<p>Hey all -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - sometimes you just need to say it like it is....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill - enjoy the rest.  tomorrow group run is at the irontron trail, this will be a new trail for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>mom - better you than me....  We have lots & lots of rain but I am not complaining because it's not snow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday was an easy 4m run on the TM.  Nothing special, but it got done.  Today is no running but will have a core workout today at 5.</p>

<p>OK.-- here is my shoe issue.  Last weekend I bought a pair of shoes from a store that I don't normally shop in and they didn't carry my usual brand.  I have used Saucony in past and he gave me some of them but suggested another brank.  I thought "what the heck, let's try something new".  Ended up getting Brooks Ghost and they felt good in the store but last night the arch of the shoe is not feeling good.  I have a new pair of kicks and I don't like them.  I will give them a little more time to see if they improve but I have to admit that I am bummed.  I will probably go back to the nike zoom and stick with what works.  arrgghh.</p>

<p>mom- thanks for the info. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The funny part was I got this impression that runners in the store were shoe snobs and true runners dont use the Nike brand.  There was even a comment about how Nike deluted a real running shoe and made it "common".  Someone else mentioned that people who care about name brands would care about a swoosh symbal on their shoe.  I like the brand because it works for my foot.  Wierd, I didn't even know I wasn't part of the in crowd.... so true to my life.</p>

<p>chances - LOL !</p>
