I'm the most annoying person in the world

Well- that's what my daughter said. Right after she said "Thanks for making me waffles! You're the best mom in the world."

I was annoying her because I've got a song in my head and I keep singing it....."and I don't want to fall to pieces, I just want to sit and stare at you..."
The more she tell me to stop, the more I want to do it! I stuck my tongue out at her when she wasn't looking. I'm so immature! She did the same thing, and then we laughed.

At least I got out for a while to run. Yep, that's two days in a row. I don't usually do that, but I thought I might as well take advantage of the opportunity while I can. Somedays it just seems impossible to get out there! I'm not marathon material, but I would like to run a 5k someday...maybe enter in those charity runs. I could help raise money for breast cancer research.

I ran Otter Trail. My right leg is starting to hurt now. Chin splints. I need some new shoes! This time I'm getting the real deal. I'm learning how the shoe business works for the average runner and trust me- it's not pretty. Don't bother going to places like Sports Authority or Big 5. They get cheap shoes with good company names on them like Nike and Asics, but don't be fooled! They have no cushioning, no arch support! You'll end up in the doctors office, like I did.

If you want to run and still be able to keep running a year from now...go to a real specialty shop. The prices are not that much more. The pair I have my eye on are about $90.00. Moreover, you can't beat the service. These guys know there stuff...and your feet. They make sure you get the right shoe for your foot. They even watch (sometimes record) you running on the street outside to make sure your impact is correct. You think you'll get that at sports authority? No way. They can barely find the size you ask for.

Happy running :)
