exercise note

9 mile jog. Dreary, drizzling, misting, almost rain all the way.

Went to FleetFeet today and shopped around for trail shoes. LOL... the pair they recommended is called "Mountain Masochist"; how appropriate! But I ended up coming home and ordering a pair of these NorthFace brand ones on-line. They are a shade lighter (but still with a good sole and construction), and (as a discontinued model) significantly less expensive.



Besides, (what can I say) I liked the bright yellow...here it's called "papaya" but it made me nostalgic for the banana yellow Nikes I bought for the very first race I ever entered (circa 1978).

Still, I do want to shout out for FleetFeet; the folks at the store were nice and helpful! And I picked up the registration form for the local Halloween run while I was there.

other random day notes

Did some banking errands.

Picked up sewing supplies and a couple new cake decorating items at Hobby Lobby.

Had a nice lunch at Bandito with Kara.

Chatted with my daughter on the phone.

Got some (but not all) house cleaning chores done.

Still need to go back out to the grocery store and stop to put gas in my car.

After getting a little bit of disturbing traffic there, I gave up and deleted all my online dating profiles for the time being.

(While I'm still sporadically chatting with a couple of guys, I am not holding out much hope or enthusiasm for things going anywhere. And maybe it's me; am feeling somewhat jaded and weary of these dating games. Guess I'll just be that loony middle aged lady who goes for miles long runs by and for herself.)
