Ah the joy of family from all overing visiting yesterday... and the joy of them getting the heck out! Ha! 28 people in the house... okay it was fun and good to see everyone, but that was a lot of cooking even for me. 

Mom bought me some running shoes for Christmas. Nice thought, but she doesn't know much about them. It was cool, I was able to exchange them. 

Good run today, have to get my groove back soon!

28 people! wow, that is a busy christmas.

Scary thought of a non-runner buying a runner shoes. Nice gesture, though. What did you get - the lunars? Let me know what you think of them. I have not been a big fan of the Lunar material, but maybe it has gotten better.

Did you really get over 500 miles out of your Kinvara's? Amazing.

Indeed. She just asked the guy at the store who knew nothing about running. She was smart and left a gift receipt. :) So I was able to get a pair of Brooks Launch (did you know Finish Line actually carried them??) The Lunars were a gift too, and since they appear to be ok running shoes I am going to give them a shot. Ran today in them, but going to wait and see after a few more runs.

Kinvaras... I should post you a pic of them. I still run in them once a week. They are holding up on the mesh, but the bottoms - lets just say you can see I land mid foot until I fatigue and then the heels are a mess!
