First Run with New Shoes

The pair of shoes I purchased yesterday – they were a pair of Saucony shoes.

My lower back has been hurting a lot, with longer distances. I’ve been told that this eventually goes away (as my back gets stronger). But getting a pair of shoes with significantly more padding will help – or so I hope.

Laced up, ready to go.

A favorite path: running along the Midway at the University of Chicago. There are a lot of water fountains along both sides, and usually there are no lines. Usually.

Hot day – everyone’s really thirsty.
