So... funny story...
Look at my shoes... After week 11 this is what they looked like. I needed new shoes already. And guess what I went to Falls Road Running to get a new pair on Friday. But I did this during work hours so I didn't try them on etc. etc. Fast forward to Saturday morning at 5:30. I open my box to discover that I had the WRONG SHOES!!! That's right -- I had the wrong pair of shoes... What to do? I had to be on the trail at 6:30 am and the store doesn't open until 9:30 or so. Well there was nothing for it but to wear those worn out shoes. I had made a promise and I have recommitted to the cause. So, I laced up and hit my 8.5 miles on Saturday morning. My feet hurt like h - e - double hockey sticks! My knee was hurting. My girl Carla hung in with me and I made it through. My reward was a nice hot shower and then a soak before heading out to see Transformers in 3 -D. We won't talk about how stiff I was when I got up :-)
