Friday I had to go to Provo for work, so this lovely girl, Janae, recommended this amazing store, Runners Corner while I was in the area. Utah Residence - Go here.  Staff is amazing. I learned an incredible amount of information (I.e. I was wearing 1 size too small and a new way to lace up my shoes so my toes have room to breath)  Most importantly I purchased some new kicks.  Guess who had a pain free run on Saturday??? THIS GIRL! I guess it pays not to be a cheap ass? :)  

Also purchase this BRIGHT jacket - No more car incidents for me.
Made a quick stop to Whole Foods to pick out some new protein bars...

 and Sunflower Seed Butter.

 Saturday
'Race Trial'.  Everything went really smooth other than a pretty slow transition from swim to bike.  I am really happy I practiced doing all three for this weekends race.  The best part of all, I still had a lot of energy when I finished. 
Notice the possible HIM list on my notepad?? :D
QUESTION: For your first Half Iron Man would you start with just a general HIM distance race or an actual HIM? For 2012 I cant decide if I want to race several marathons or train for a HIM... decisions, decisions.

    Wow, that hike sounds intense!! 22 miles is a lot of ground to cover! Congrats on a pain free run as well - that's the best feeling after struggling with injuries!

    The neon jacket was definitely a good choice! Love your new trainers. I've been going to a specialist running store for many years and it does make all the difference to run with the right shoe.

    whoo to being pain free this week.
