The Big Peach local running store was having a few days of “no sales tax”, so of course I had to go and see if there was something I wanted…shoes, of course. I actually needed a new pair of road shoes so i decided to head over there after work. Am now the proud owner of a sweet pair of Saucony Ride sneaks. Did a short, hilly 3 miler afterwards and felt good. Cold, but good.

Came home and came across something that just felt right. Was doing something online and came across TOYS for TOTS charity. So, I donated. Hopefully my small gift will bring a smile to an unfortunate kids face. pretty neat. I’m grateful to be able to give.

Happy Holidays to all!

Running going ok. Need to start cranking out more miles though. I finally figured out that my schedule will allow me to run the Mercedes Half-Marathon in Birmingham in February! Yeah, I am psyched. I LOVE THAT RACE. I will be going for an under 2 hour finish, which would be a PR for that distance. I’m psyched to now have a solid goal on the books. Cheers!
