First time in five days and the little bugs still taste bad... and I'm not sure I like the new road shoes I bought. I moved away from buying Bowerman Series NIKE shoes this time in favor of ASICS Gels. I have been wearing the NIKE brand for the last three pairs, or, about a year-and-a-half, but have fond memories, or so I thought, of the ASICS from my college days. The support does not seem to be as consistent as with the NIKE brand, and although they are lighter weighing, I often feel like I'm running Zola Budd-style (barefoot)... I'll give it another run tomorrow and look forward to seom improvement.

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
