I didn't realize it was so soon. When do you pack up and move?

Congratulations. What's next for you? Do you have a job lined up?

Congrats on being a free man now.

How are those A5's working out for you? I need new shoes and noticed you were wearing them on Saturday. I figured if you were wearing them for a long run they must be pretty good.

Flat - pretty soon, though my start date is not set quite yet.

DG - thanks, I'll be working for a govt contractor in OK.

dh - I love the A4s and A5s. I used the A4s for all my long MP runs leading up to Houston, and used them for the marathon. The A5s have the same sole, but the upper is a little lighter. They definitely have less cushioning than the kinvaras (you feel the ground more) but you can get used to it pretty quick.

Good luck with the new job. Thanks for your service to our country in the Air Force.
