The Dragon Slayer

Did you see tonight's episode of Survivor?! It was a classic! There was never-ending entertainment. I can't wait to read the blogs of Jeff Probst and Dalton Ross.

So I was supposed to run two 4-mile runs this week. Based on the weather forecast, I had planned to do one yesterday and one today. I didn't pack my running gear yesterday so I could run before coming home so I'm sure you can see where this is leading... By the time I got home, my lack of motivation was too overwhelming to overcome and I convinced myself playing some Wii Sports would be an acceptable alternative to my run (while drinking beer). I didn't make the same mistake today so I changed at work and ran around a few neighborhoods near the office before getting in the car to head home. My run was pretty uneventful: pace around 10 min./mile (haven't downloaded the splits from my Garmin yet) and the weather was perfect. My nagging shin pain was back so I'm blaming it on my new shoes. I wore them on an outdoor run for the first time last week when this all started and wore them again tonight. Hopefully they just need some more breaking-in. I hate investing money in shoes that won't work for my picky legs and feet.
