Pig's Ramblings

Well, hellooooo, New New Balance 730 Series Running Shoes!  After our first run together this afternoon, I think the hour-esque I spent trying on every kind of running shoe under the sun at Dick's yesterday, to finally settle on you, was totally worth it.  I feel that you strike that perfect balance between the NB Minimus and the Nike Free...a little bit softer feel running on the road, but not a huge decline from heel to forefoot.  I put two miles on you today, hopefully you'll survive through a "few" more pre-basic.  Although, I was a smart cookie and bought a second pair of you so I'll have spotless soles to show the Drill Sgt's upon arrival!  My only complaint?!  Your laces seem a little cheap-o, I think I'll be switching those out soon.
Dear Soldier-Self, Congratulations on the awesome improvement you made on your one mile run time today!!  About a week ago you kicked Insanity to the side to start working on your running again and started off with a 9:45 mile and the desperate desire to do nothing but walk afterwards.  Well, today, you kicked butt with an 8:59 mile and, after a 1/4 mile walk to A) catch your breath because that was a doozie and B) make sure your brand new shoes weren't causing any foot-troubles, you were able to jog another mile without stopping.  You rock!
Dear MonkeyHubby, Your excitement over a Confetti Cake DQ Blizzard last night was intoxicating.  Although, your choice of the largest size cup they offer, meant that once we cuddled onto the couch for our traditional Tuesday Gibb's indulgence, you couldn't keep your eyes open for more than 50 seconds.  The 5-year-old in you always makes me wish life was simpler!


So, Dudes and Dudettes, What sweet-treat inspires the 5-year-old in you??


Celebrating the Little Accomplishments!
