UPDATED shoes, pushups, beautiful weather

got new shoes today.............
I know.. you are thinking.. DIDNT YOU JUST GET NEW SHOES??

well.. short of.

I got new Ghosts as a gift and they were too big... right size but just too big.. weird... So... I just so happy to have a daughter that can have the too big shoes.... and today I went to the store and got these..........

BROOKS Defyance 2
I havent run in them yet.. just on the mill at the store but I love them so far! I have been having some pain in my right foot ball area.. i know cause i have been doing more speed work....but i am hoping this shoe will give me a bit extra cushion to help with that :)

today is pushup day... my abs are sooooooo sore from that side stitch ab workout so i will rest them today :) might throw in some lunges between push ups....

UPDATE:

100 pushups done (10 sets of 10 yikes)
then
a fast 2 miler to test out the new shoes
and
I LOVE THEM

new favorites for sure!!! :) sweet!
things i heard on my run

• girls talking about new york
• the motor from a generator powered lighting system for a softball game
• a laughing baby (and I thought.. THATS EXACTLY how I feel right now!)
• a roller bladder wizzin past me way to fast and my voice saying "CAREFUL"
• the wind (no ipod) :)
  
• my thoughts

funny how 2 miles use to see forever long and now its like "honey do you care if i go run.. its JUST 2 miles" ... ha.. how things change in 3 years time :)

OH.. and my arms and back were soooo tired on the run.. from the pushups :)
abs still sore too!
gotta go
