My darling daughter, Megan, took Ais and I to dinner tonight. While dining on Greek food (yum!) she mentioned she needed new running shoes. (Because she doesn't know how to say no sometimes and is now the cross-country coach at her school. She's also a soccer coach and a track and field coach, as well as being the department head, union rep, and some other things, along with teaching.) So we stopped at Famous Footwear on the way back to my place and, along with a pair of shoes for herself, she got me an early b-day present of a new pair of running shoes. They're a new brand for me (Asics) as I've used Brooks and most recently Karhu, so we'll see. Both girls laughed at me because I've always had kind of blah colored shoes and this time they are very colorful and I was grinning like crazy as I tried them on and walked around in them. I was wearing a mask, but my eyes tend to crinkle up so you can barely see them when I'm grinning, so it's not hard to tell. Anyways, it may not be tomorrow, given the current time, but soon, maybe next weekend, I'll see if I can still "run." 😄

All I ask is that you don't compare this calendar with previous uploads and start asking me about where all my "hip rehab" days have gone 😐
