Total Distance

I am BACK!!!  Wow... had to take more days off then I wanted to but those other shoes did a job on my feet (serious pain).. thanks to advil and 15 min. ice bucket soaks. 

Also, I went back to a brand that I am really familiar with.. that helps runners with severe pronation and provides motion control.  I got in my 6 miles and they felt really good this morning no feet problems... THANK GOODNESS! :-) The only thing is that they are clunky to run in... but hey all things considered I will take clunking vs. pain any day of the week!

Also I got me a Garmin 305 running toy!  and am estatic about it too... no more glancing at the clock when I leave the house and glancing again when I return getting an approximate time... now I will know all of the details...

This morning got in 5.7 and will get in a few more this afternoon with my family run (i.e. I will be pushing the stroller again) :-)

Happy New Year... wishing many "fast" injury free miles to everyone!!
