New Shoes & Nick Saban

So I have been running in these new Mizunos for a couple of weeks now.  When I first ran in them I felt like I had a rock in the ball of my right foot, so I swapped insoles and continued to run in them hoping it would work its way out, but it did not.  I switched back to my old running shoes and it has been like running on air.  I’m thinking defect in the shoe because my left foot feels perfectly fine.  And of course I had dinner with Nick Saban last night.  I mean it was me and a couple hundred other people, but we were in the same room.  Thank you Touchdown Club of Memphis.

Always playing catch up.

The weather continues to be fantastic.  Cool in the morning, cool at night and warm during the day.  There has been a lot happening since my last blog; a garage sale, Alabama’s first loss to South Carolina, South Carolina then losing to Kentucky, a luncheon with Bobby Bowden, Ole Miss revealing the Black Bear.  All sorts of fun stuff for fall.  Oh yeah, and Mary Ev has started to consistently go potty!  Yippie!

A nip in the air

The weather is starting to turn a little cold. Not miserably cold but cold enough that it takes a little getting use to. I also ordered a new pair of shoes from eastbay.com as my current pair are beginning to fall apart. They should be here within the next couple days.

On the way to see the Tide play!

Having a good running weekend where I just need 9 miles over 4 days is nice especially when Christi is out of town and quiet time isn't as easy to come by. I got all my runs in with just enough time to pick Mary Ev up from school.
