    The whole semi-rigorous thing in very new to me, so don't think I'm far ahead. I did try a few of the Nike's, but like Nike's I've tried on before, the toebox was too skinny for my feet.

    I just took my first run in the Kinvaras, just a 2.5 mile test run. It felt great and did what I was hoping for. Run on hard surface and didn't feel any of the fascia problems I've had. I do feel my calves and hamstrings were worked, but not overworked. I'll need to ease into longer distance with the new shoes, but ultimately I think I'll be a better runner once I've made the transition.

    After a year in Iraq, my husband really appreciated your story!
    As for today, I used my first Feather blade on my legs, with no nicks or irritation.

    For the last two mornings our 3 month old has woken up as I was getting ready to go to work, instead of waking up after I've left, and so I have been able to get her up and changed before I leave for the day. There is nothing better to start your day with than to approach your babies crib, while she has no idea you are there, and see her laying there looking around until her eyes meet yours and she gives you the biggest, warmest smile that can only be reciprocated by an equally big smile. It makes my heart melt each and every time. Yes, I'm in love. :love055:

    Nice and sunny here today and I worked from home. So, I rewarded myself by a lunch time stogie on the back porch with an espresso and .... SUN!

    Nice 5k run after work in the Kinvara 3's. I'm doing better on hard surface in these than I've ever done before. Plus, the little discomfort I have is in muscles that heal much faster than joints.

    Just got hold of the final portion of the Tudors, a biographical series on the life and times of Henry the eighth. Originally a BBC production, the Tudors also aired on the CBC but I didn't get to see it at the time and have been catching segments on DVD's. Up till now I've seen all of it except the last part. I really wanted to see the finale titled The final Seduction and there it was..waiting. The 4 part TV series is awesome and amazing all at the same time.. I recommend the show highly..
