Did a 45 minute trail run today. Saw a beautiful young buck only 10 feet off the trail - he just stood and watched, so I slowly walked past him. He was still there on my way back.

It was my first run in my brand new Brooks Pure Grip shoes, and I love them. Definitely a shoe to consider if you have a low-volume foot and wear them with socks, or wear them barefoot if your feet are larger They are a quasi-minimal shoe with a 4mm drop.

I'll review them later, but all in all it was a fantastic run. Why is it that the days that seem so dreary always seem to be the greatest runs?
