Yesterday I purchased my first-ever pair of real running shoes! Up until now I had been using a pair of cross-trainers, which are OK for a variety of things, but they weren't really optimal. Before making a purchase, I wanted to give myself some time to determine if I was really serious about running, and I guess I am. I walked an hour in them today on an incline, and on Friday I'll try them out for a run. One thing I can tell right away is that they're significantly lighter in weight than my previous shoes.



One more thing for tonight: Do add Hecklerspray to your news feed for all your celebrity gossip needs. The liberal doses of sarcasm included with each story are spot on. It's British, so there are some names/stories you're not likely to recognize if you're from the states, but it's easy to skip over them, and the humor (or should I say humour?) is absolutely brilliant.
