Running again...

So, I've started running regularly again... most of you might not know it, but I used to do olympic-distance (1.5 km swim / 40 km bike / 10 km run) triathlons. I loved them... especially the swimming and the running (biking is cool, it just requires a lot of equipment). I've been running about 12 miles total each week with two 3-mile runs and a 6-mile run... using the Google maps pedometer, I can scope out all sorts of runs that meet these parameters in my neighborhood. I must admit, I forgot how much I love running... just getting out there and just going... and it feels good to be healthy and have Michelle say, "You seem skinnier... there's less there to squeeze." As someone who firmly believes in the value of exercise, I suppose I share something in common with George W. Bush ("The (over)exercise of power")... oh dear.

Oh yeah, those are my new shoes... New Balance 998's. If you need a new pair of shoes, I recommend using Roadrunner Sport's ShoeDog tool.
