Weather - 80 degrees, sunny.

Decided it was time to buy new shoes, so I went to Body 'n Sole and bought 2 pair - Asics and Mizunos. 

Felt excited to run in new shoes, ended up going 8.5 miles. 2.25 miles were barefoot at the arboretum, then I ran a new route at the South Farms which I discovered on my 23 mile run a couple of days ago. The Mizuno's felt awesome. I was about 300 miles overdue for shoes, I am lucky my feet tolerated the old ones.

After the run 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home.

Way to go, sir! You are a machine! New shoes are always fun I have to say :) I know I feel the same way. I just have to take them outside and get them dirty and make them mine :)

Hey Benn, hope school is going ok. Sounds like it is rough going right now for you. Hang in there and try your best, that is all you can do. I like this old Zen quote - "When the mind is scattered, take hold of the breath"....
