After begging Diene to go running with me for years, he finally has taken it up.  Out of seemingly nowhere, three weeks ago, he went out for his first run in a few years.  Nine miles later (at a 8:00 pace!) he came back.   On his fourth run, he did the Lake Monona loop, which is between 11-13 miles.   This is really something, considering  my first few runs of the season were actually pathetic walk-runs.  Don’t think we’ll be running partners, unless I am allowed to ride my bike along side him.

Still, it feels great to have a common hobby.  And its even better to have a store in town with friendly staff that are experts and have only the best equipment.  Today, I am grateful for Movin’ Shoes.
