Update on the new shoes



with the walk coming quick, I decided to spend some time walking today. but not outside, it's way too cold. Ok maybe not Winnipeg cold (going down to -33 this week), but southern Ontario cold, being a born and bred prairie boy, I can't believe I just said that..... Anyway... it was a good day to stay inside.

So... I walked for 2.5 hours on the treadmill at the gym and did about 7 miles ( 11+ kms). Unfortunately I hoped to go longer, but the new shoes just are there yet. I know it will get better.

as I was poking around the internet for treadmill pictures I found this. Not much to do with anything, but I'd never seen anything like it... Interesting, A treadmill bike? . http://www.bikeforest.com/tread/

Hey Dave.. I was just catching up on your blog I have to admit with the holidays and such I have been slacking....Regarding your entry in December... you were NOT training with THOSE shoes in that picture???? LOL.... I am happy that you made the investment for some new shoes...even if you did have to break them in :). I found this quote and it reminded me of your journey....

"That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again".
- By Michael Johnson

Wishing you all the best and my thoughts and prayers are still with you! Press on!
