Some easy shakeout miles...last little jaunt before the race tomorrow. I'm looking forward to actually running again tomorrow...I'm kind of bored with these little 4 mile warm up jogs that end before they begin. But todays was a little more interesting because after a mile of like 9:30 pace waking up, Brendan Trimboli caught up with me from behind, so it woke me up and we ran the dirt road loop together in a more normal 7:30 ish pace before I headed the .5 to home. He's a cool kid, and I imagine we'll run more often this year as we live a few blocks away from each other. Also, I broke out some new shoes that came yesterday in the mail from shopnewbalance.com that I got for 39 dollars including shipping. They're pretty nice, I'm pleased. I really like how soft and comfortable the uppers are. It's the first pair of road flats I've ever worn. The heal to toe drop ratio is almost identical to the mt101's, very minimal . Which is still more than the zero I would like, but good enough. Plus, I get to stay in the Christmas spirit year round with these beauties!
