    Sadly my Browns running shoes are going to have to be put to one side. I bought them about 3 years ago as a pair to keep in another office so flying between I could stick to carry on baggage. At the time I was much heavier and not running at all. It turns out these are neutral and I pronate which is giving a pain in the inside of my left ankle especially. I want to go hunting for a new pair however I think I will go back to my Asics until Christmas and see if there are any gift cards under the tree. Normally I end up giving gift cards to my children or not using them at all. I wonder how much shops make from idiots like me not spending them?

    @PastorVincent Cuddler is adorable!
    You probably do not mean that for me. I am just a crusty old man.

    I think me. Cuddler is my old girl
    Yes @mbaker566. I did mean you. She is adorable. @PastorVincent , I'll bet Mrs. Vincent thinks you are a cute cuddler too! ;)


    They cut down a bunch of trees next to the "secret military base" in the woods :/ looks like they've cleared a little plot out for something. Hmmm.
    Isn't it funny how they are never really secret. You'll have to keep us updated on what they seem to be doing. :smile:

    Thanks @PastorVincent I'm not sure I am to the point that I need a hydration pack, but am hoping to get up to a HM next year. Will probably need it next summer, so may just make that a Christmas wish list item.

    @katharmonic – your running streak is getting right up there with @AlphaHowls! Good luck with your Spartan – hope it’s a fun one!

    @shanaber – Good luck with your half this weekend!

    We call it that, but I'm not sure it's technically "secret", as the trails around it are used by a lot of local people. It definitely LOOKS abandoned. However, my husband and child have seen it in use, and were quickly told to turn around and leave the area. There are no-trespassing signs and (old) fences and I'm pretty sure cameras on the place, so I pretty much just keep moving when I'm going through there. We did release a mouse nearby once (that we had caught in our house). The little guy took off in a straight line towards the fence, so he's probably living there too now. I'd love to explore, but also don't want to get arrested :D

    ...so I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and keep running there until they get more specific :)

    How specific? Like "Timber" :smiley:

    Now they've put a "Warning: Dangerous Area" at one entrance to the woods (probably a mile from where they were clearing trees)... but because of where it was, I didn't see it until I was leaving. Oh well. It didn't seem particularly unsafe, and the sign didn't stop the boy scouts I saw hiking through (who HAD gone past the sign), so I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and keep running there until they get more specific :)

    Probably want to keep your ears and eyes open. They might be setting up a live fire range.

    @rheddmobile is there anything that can be done about that? I would think all that inflammation will cause scar tissue and be a mess.
