[3/21/12] Exciting past couple of days!! My best friends came out from California to spend some time with me out in Chicago so it was like they brought home to me since I'm staying out here!

I'm going to start exploring Chicago's Lakefront/Lakeshore drive tomorrow afternoon with my new shoes that I bought today! I went to Fleet Feet to talk to some of the running experts they had there and they told me that I have a "midstrike" stride, meaning that I don't run heel to toe anymore. The shoes I got have really strong arch supports that will help me during my training and during the half marathon itself! Here are some pictures of my Team World Vision jersey and the shoes that I'm going to be training in! I'll take a picture of them on me later (It's late over here!)

Take care! I'll be posting data from my run tomorrow assuming I can get this tracker to work... :)
