New shoes.

Yesterday I got the Boost! Some kind of new technology. I would have figured it was all hype, but  I have to say, I noticed the difference immediately when I tried these shoes on. We'll see if I like them. Today I logged my first 8.3 miles in them. They felt pretty good. It makes me sad to not have my beloved purple sneakers. I will probably keep them forever, just because they are purple.

I asked the guy at the Runner's Edge for  a different color once I decided on this shoe. You know, something in the hot pink, neon purple family. But no such luck, this is the only color that is available. At least it is fitting. Take a look:

They are very definitely highlighter yellow!

A note about the run for the day. Nothing special. No great distance. No great speed. However, it was more consistent than usual, so I will take that as a positive.

A note about the road kill for the day. Three squirrels and two birds. And something past identifiable. That seemed like a lot to me.

A note about the calorie counting for the day. It is already getting on my nerves! I was 777 calories over yesterday. Grrrrr. Going to a party tonight. I will not be able to weigh or measure anything. And I'm ravenous. I have 1900 calories left to spend for the day. This sure is eye-opening! On the up side, I have lost a half a pound so far. :)
