GLC, that's great! And isn't it kinda liberating to run without the gadgetry once in a while?

I'm starting to transition in to more conventional shoes than my beloved VFFs for winter. The VFFs are just not warm enough to wear outside in freezing temps, at least for me. So I got a pair of Altra Intuition on Monday, and have run in them twice. They're OK, but a lot heavier than I'm used to. They're definitely warmer! which isn't so good now, as it's been unusually warm this week.

Planning on running our fire department's 4.03 mile race Sunday afternoon-- the distance is in honor of the 403 firefighters and cops who were killed in NY on 9/11. But there's a good chance of thunderstorms then, so who knows. Fingers crossed.
