finally cashed in some fleet feet gift cards to get a free pair of shoes and some shorts, then broke them both in on an easy 8 that also turned out to be my first warm-weather rain run of the year.
standard thursday night runs in decatur that the river city runners sponsors throughout the summer. none of the fast boys decided to step up, which meant that my old, slow, ultrarunning self had to fill the void and take the W for the day.
headed down to Phil Campbell, AL for a 5k. i haven't been to Phil Campbell since i ran through it during the Alabama Relief Run, so it was nice to see the town in all its resiliency.
