It was a really not day, only in the 80s today (of course that really should be high 20s, 'cause why are we still using Fahrenheit anyway?) and not very humid. I took advantage of it by biking this morning and going for a run this evening. Alas I did not take my camera so I don't have any pictures of the memorial or the lovely sunset as I ran around the Tidal Basin to share with you.
Here's a picture of my new running shoes though:
As you can see I've joined the toe shoe movement. I'll credit the example set by Glenn and Evan. I do like them so far although it would be nice to find some dirt trails to run on. All the concrete around the Mall and the memorials does get rather hard.

Those shoes look deeply ridiculous. :-) I suppose there's no reason they should be any sillier than gloves, which similarly hug the contours of one's hand. But somehow, I just can't shake thousands of years of shoe-expectation conditioning. Just so long as you don't become one of those nutters who insists on running barefoot! I don't care if it's more "natural," you could cut yourself up real bad that way. And I don't even want to mention the hazards of dog doo...
Yeah, the looks are definitely part of the fun. I actually wore them riding my bike today too and they worked well for that as well. They are really light which is nice in hot weather. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that they do have sufficient sole to protect from broken glass and dog droppings though!
