1st pair

I bought my first pair of real running shoes today. Adidas adizero XT trail running shoes. Superlight, hug my foot, decent looking, just less than $100. I bought them at the San Diego Running Institute and the girl fitting me did a great job. And yes, for you eagle eyed reader, they are the women's model. That size and last just worked better for me. So there.

I will be wearing them in my race this weekend after I have ran in them a few times this week. I am doing a 5k cross country race at Balboa Park that is part of the San Diego Dirt Dogs trail running series. I think I will be able to race the last 3 races of the series. It is at 0800 so I should be done running and home and washed in time for conference.

In the San Diego Mud Run I did I was 5th in my age group and 43/440 overall. So I think 5k is a good race distance for me. Of course I also ran that race in a speedo and a half shirt, so finishing to end the embarrassment was definitely a factor in my speed.

  1. That pic is classic, but I am still waiting for you to post that pic of you in mom's swim suit. I know it's out there!

  2. I've never ever worn my mother's swim suit while we were in Moab. Ever. Got it?

    So I ran 5 miles tonight to break in my shoes. They worked great.
