Sorry its been so long.

Sorry the holidays were a crazy time for me.  Between work and, well work, I was very busy and very tired.  Also there has been a issue with my gym membership.  They didn't take the money and are saying somehow it's my fault and want to charge me $30 to make it right, so I think I am going to find a new gym.  Sorry YMCA, but I can most likely find a gym closer to work and it open late so I can work out after work (since I'm a night person) and it cheaper.  I went with the YMCA for the pool, but I haven't used the pool since October.

That being said, I thought all of you should know that I love Brooks shoes.  They have an awesome new shoe coming out in June of this year. The Brooks Glycerin looks pretty nifty to me, plus it comes in bright colors, which are good for night running (if you're the sort to chance it in a non well lit area.  I have been using the Brooks Ravenna 2 for the last few months.

The shoe has what Brooks calls their "DNA".  It forms to the shoe and there's a little button type dookickey on the bottom that when pressed helps to re-inflate the sole.  It's supposed to increase the mileage on the shoe according to my friends at RUN IN, in Greenville, SC.  I bought the shoe in August and so far it's been fantastic.

I tend to walk on the outside of my foot, so this shoe helps my feet land more flatly.    Works well for me, despite my shin splint issues.

Well that's all I have for today!  More to come I promise!
