New Trail Running Shoes: Brooks PureGrit (+ review!)

Picked these up last night after reading a bunch of favorable reviews online, particularly the one below.  They felt amazing putting them on in the store and running around; I can’t wait to try them out!  I still love my Nike Free Run +, but I wanted a little more traction in wet/muddy/rocky terrain.

Thursday 111229 – CrossFit East Bay

Finished in 27 min but could only do 20 of the last 30 pushups.  I’ve been slacking off WAY too much the last couple of months…

San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll Half

Date: October 2, 2011
Finish time: 3:11:03
Thoughts: Tough day.  I’ve been suffering from ITBS since May, but was convinced I could run it with the help of a massage stick.  This race also came on the heels of Tough Mudder.
Lessons Learned: I can skip/hop/run/shuffle/zombie-run to the finish if I have to – because I’m that determined.
