So I finally broke down and bought a new pair of shoes! It was about time - the old pair, which were my first, had logged about 300 or so miles and were starting to give me some foot pain. It is sad to retire them, but I got a shiny new pair of Brooks Adrenalines that make me pretty excited to hit the pavement.
They make me so excited, in fact, that this morning I snuck in a run before work. It was short, as I didn't have much time, but I logged my two fastest road miles ever. In 80-something heat. Hell. Yes. They were 10:11 and 10:06 (!) respectively.
I also had a fabulous 4th of July weekend. No running, but the relaxation (aside from long car rides with the same group of people) was much needed. I went to visit a friend who invited a bunch of people to his exclusive locals only beach on the north shore of Boston. While there, I jumped off of this cliff into the ocean:
It's the part on the left. You can't really see it, but near the jumping point is spray painted "Insanity" - seems pretty appropriate. I also got a chance to finally go to Martha's Vineyard, which was AWESOME. If you get the chance, you should go. It's so beautiful! Hope you all are running strong in spite of the record breaking heat and that you all had a happy and safe holiday weekend!
