toenails

Keep your toenails trimmed FYI. Why you ask? Well, apparently they will cut into your adjacent toe and you'll bleed all over inside your shoe without you knowing.

Also, no seam athletic socks are awesome. I was wearing cheap 6 pair for 4 dollar socks and the seam gave me a pretty bad blister. Ouch. I got some nice socks and no problems any more.

We got Melissa some shoes yesterday. She's going to walk the 1o miler next weekend. We figure I'll pass her about 7 or 8 miles. The walkers start an hour before the runners. I check on getting me another pair of these adidas that I like so much, and apparently adidas changes their shoes so often that there are no more of these kind. grrr. I ordered some brooks, we'll see what they are like.

Wednesday is my speed day. After 4 miles I averaged a 7:17 minute mile. I wasn't sure if my head, heart or lungs were going to explode first.

I bought some Brooks Glycerin 7s and I love them!!!! BTW every shoe manufacturer chanes their shoe styles almost every year.

If you find a good deal on shoes that you like, buy multiple pair. I have lots of two pairs of the same shoe! Also, running socks are definitely worth their money! It's kinda crazy paying $6 for one pair of socks, but worth every penny!
