Another Run

What a beautiful day we had today! It was 45 degrees at 5 am! I was able to go out for a run this afternoon and it was really delightful. Pretty busy at the lake today. And I had 3 little kid running partners for very short periods of time! When I would approach them they would start running and then we'd run together for 30 seconds or a minute before they were done - done for that lap, anyway! But it was pretty cute. The shoes I have are Vionic. Here's a link to the men's "athletic": https://www.vionicshoes.com/men/active-and-sneakers.html Athletic is in quotes because I see some loafers in that mix! Anyway, I sure like mine. They are really different, though. And, yes, pushups are really hard! I've been only doing 5 at a time. Squats, 5 pushups, more squats, 5 pushups. 5 is about all I can do at once.

Glad you found some running partners!

I will check out the shoes. Did you just order online? I'm kind of hesitant to do that without trying them on.

I was back on the TM this morning and the exercises. Afraid our warm days are gone now for good. Although warmer today (+24) than yesterday morning (+5)! Yesterday was the coldest here since early March.

I did order this pair online, but the pair I got as walking shoes for the music festival, I bought at a local store.

The running pair I got, I ordered from Zappos.com. My first order with them, but Carol uses Zappos a lot. Apparently they have a really amazing return policy. Not sure if you can wear them outside and still return them, but I know you can run in them on the treadmill. Sounds like Carol has tested shoes for a couple of weeks before returning them.

I figured that, if these didn't work for running, I for sure would still happily use them for walking. Because the style is different so I didn't know how they would work for sure.

Brrrrrrr!!!! Winter is here! I'll be using your treadmill SOON!
