new shoes and me

3 miles, 31:15. leisurely pace, feelin' good. my new shoes and i were running as one, we were in the zone. new shoes are great aren't they? i really felt like the shoes knew what they were doing-- running like they had been trained to run on a treadmill in a former life. the real test will be had during a longer run.

here's my current running list.

..
if someone in real life were to ask me about certain songs on this list i might have to completely deny that i've ever heard of them. :-)

you must get the deep vibrations dance tune by trance{}control. i dare you to run slow during that song. dare ya. its an older song, if you want it i will email it to you. proceed to run like the wind. speaking of running like the wind, i'm still in awe of alison's triple digit mileage log last week. whoooey. sweet. my brain explodes trying to comprehend mileage like that.
-----------------
i'm too lazy to do that 100 things about me list. but here's one: i broke the outside of my left foot one summer playing volleyball in a friends backyard. stepped in a secret hole in the backcourt. snap! i actually played a few more points because i play through pain baby! i didn't really know it was broken at the time.

wearing a cast up to my knee: not so bad. i moved really well with crutches, i was a speed demon.
wearing a cast in the dorm rooms during the summer with no air conditioning: sucked.
showering in the dorms for a month with a garbage bag rubber-banded at the knee so water didn't leak in: really sucked. don't even ask about the itching. to this day i have to make sure i'm running with good form so that left foot doesn't give me funny aches.
