And He's Off!!

Boy, Landon has been busy lately! He's started to get adventurous taking his first steps (which can be an amusing spectacle to witness....see video below). And as I speak, my little man is in Hawaii with his parents and Grams and Pops! I'm sure his super cute diaper-butt in board shorts will steal all the hearts of the ladies on the beach and I can't wait to see pictures of his first vacation!



I, on the other hand, am recovering from an insanely crazy week at work. I only got a couple of workouts in and the diet wasn't much better but on the bright side, I've gotten up to the 2-mile mark now that I've picked back up again! Today Scott and I went shopping and reached the dawn of a new era: new running shoes. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I officially went from the old ratty tennis shoes I've had for over a year to the specialized Brooks running shoe (complete with orthotics...boy that makes me sound old)!
We got my feet analyzed by someone who actually knows what they're talking about and as it turns out, I have arches that are about to collapse, causing me pronation. Hooray. Not to mention that I am carrying around more weight than most runners, so a nice stability shoe was just what I needed. We'll see how many times I trip in them before adjusting--they feel a lot different than the old ones! Now THAT will be a video worth posting...
