Okie dokie! Hello, howdy and how do you all do?

Alex and I got up a little late for us but we still made it to the gym this morning. I spent half an hour on the treadmill in the new shoes again, trying to see if time off and switching to my old shoes did anything. Everything seems okay but then, I wasn't truly pushing myself. A couple of light, quick runs but still at the end, my calves were hurting.

So, I moved on to weight training. Abs, back and the lower body plus some stretching ecked out the next hour and change.

Then, Alex and I took a short jog in the back of the parking lot of the gym. Turns out, the shoes are better on rough roading/outside than on the treadmill but most of the time I'll be on the treadmill so they had to go back.

I switched them with a pair of Brooks. We'll see how these go. Rhode Runner is great. As long as I still have the receipt and it's less than 30 days from date of purchase, they'll take it back no matter the condition. Best return policy EVER!

I also nabbed some fancy sport socks and Alex jumped on the back of my credit (new new shoes were less than older new shoes) and got some kind of band for his leg. So, I got out of the store with brand new shoes, new socks and Alex's band for a hair over $20. Not bad!

By the end of the day, I'd added two more pairs of shoes to my repertoire after stopping into Bob's. One way or another, I'm going to get my run on!
