shoes are the answer

i'm not sure how they'll effect the iraq war, but i certainly need new running shoes.

results have been posted! i am very proud of myself. without much training, i beat my bloomsday time. finishing the 15K in 1:31 running 9.48 minute miles. no speed demon, but an improvement. and kenny? well, he's just SICK - finishing in just over an hour and running 6.44 minute miles. you heard me. 6.44.

what i love are the pics of my brother. now, they did get a couple of me, and as you can see i was plodding and appear to be in measureable amounts of pain. kenny, however, looks like some kind of sports model on X - couldn't be more excited or motivated! love that second to last one - shanna said he was talking a little good-natured smack to the other runners as he was finishing the race! my brother, the smack-talking distance runner...

enjoy the pics and we'll see ya at bloomsday. hopefully i'll post a little more this time. and i supposed i could set a new personal goal for bloomsday, since last years goal was simply finishng... i could do something silly and aim to run the course in 9.3 minute miles or less. cut a minute off my last year's time or somesuch nonsense. hm. hmmmmmmm.
