New Shoes - and 2 nice runs

Got myself a new pair of Asics Nimbus VIs. A big change for me, moving away from Nikes the first time in my life, but as Snoop Dogg would say "If it aint fly, then you cant buy". Couldnt find anything in the Nike range that had a wider toe box. The Run n Fun guy suggested I try the Numbus, and man do they fly, never managed to break in a shoe without a blister. I guess there is always a first time. Did 2 10 mile runs, one on the treadmill and one around the lakes, and my feet never felt better. I wasnt planning on using them on a long run before I had done a few shorter ones, but I guess the way they have been going Im going to try them on a 17 miler tomorrow.
Fundraising is going well, the Metrodome volunteering is really padding my collections. Had a lot of fun working the beer port yesterday. Chatting, yelling and just entertaining a bunch of people who stopped by, until a mean lady in the other stall stopped by to complain, such a mojo killer. Anyways its was a bunch of fun, working with JJ and her friend was a blast.
My training with my mentee is going pretty well, just goes to show if you point peoples energies in the right direction, everyone can turn the corner.
Hope to see some of you guys out there running soon, there really isnt a better way to stay healthy

Lazy ??

I guess I have been lazy when it comes to updating my blog, but my excuse is all the other stuff thats been eating away my time. So lets see where do I start, finishing my term work for my semester, volunteering at the Metrodome to increase my fundraising $$$, and getting my running in. And then you add a full time job that I love and I ve got enough juggling balls in the air as a clown at the carnival.
Just got back after running the Mora Half Marathon with my mentee, was a good race, felt really good at the end. I think I could keep that pace for a ways longer. AND NO KNEE PAIN. It felt really good to come back and get a nice long race under my belt. My mentee finished fifth in his age group and so got a medal, he was pretty happy about it and wore it practically all the way back to the cities.
Terms over so I have a little more time to myself (read as more blogging time) and more fundraising time. Plan to hit up my car dealership and my appartment complex. Lets see need to hit at least 2000 by the end of the month
