Getting Closer

Today we ran five miles, and I wore my brand-spankin'-new shoes. I need to break these shoes in before the big day, but I think I'll have plenty of time - especially since I have about 25 more miles of training before the race.

I found out that I have high arches, and these Asics are supposed to give me lots of support. They felt great this morning, and I think my old, broken-down pair contributed to some lower-back pain. Or maybe 12-plus miles will just do that to you.

Anyway, today's short run felt good, and we'll be running the 1/2 in less than two weeks!
