I've been looking for a new pair of shoes with more cushion for my longer runs. I settled on the Addidas Bostons, mostly cause I liked the name. :) They also seemed to get good reviews and are not very heavy for a cushioned shoe. I wore them today and I think I like them.

6 very EZ miles on the TM 1% at 8:00. I wanted to keep it easy since I'm racing tomorrow.

What a difference a month makes. After my first full month of running since March, I am 10 lbs lighter, feel nice and lean like a runner again, have more energy, am happier, and life is sweet. I sure hope I'm not jinxing myself, but running sure makes my life better and so do my fellow FRBers.

Addidas Bostons Miles: 6.00

I've put on weight. When I don't run as much, I graze on food. You are looking great.

Oh this makes me so happy!!! love that you are running but I hate the fact that you can lose 10 pounds in one month!

Very nicely done Rhett. You have done awesome on your recovery. And to lose 10 lbs that makes it even better.:)

From Rhett on Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 16:48:48 from 74.42.168.210

Tim, now you tell me. I didn't pay full price though. I got them for $69 and free shipping.

Hey!!! I have been running in the Adidas Boston Classics for 3 years!! I have seven pairs in my closet right this second. I have added some Mizunos to the mix, however. Love the Bostons though!!!! :) Nice choice!! Hey ... maybe you really do want to be me!!! :)

Running makes a huge difference in all aspects of my life as well!! I need to run!!!!

I love reading your posts ... I can totally feel your enthusiasm!

Btw, what is Doone's next race?

From Rhett on Sun, Nov 01, 2009 at 20:17:31 from 74.42.168.210

Teena, Doone's next race is November 21 5K Trukey Trot. It is the same course I ran yesterday... very tough, but she'll do great. 3 of my 4 kids are going to run it as well... Chase 10, Tally 8, and Cade 5. Tally and Cade may opt for the 2 mile race though.
