My “Focus on AJ” plan was to start today. Keeping that in mind I bought a new pair of running shoes after work. I forked out $80 for a pair of Nike Free’s. By far the most expensive running shoes I’ve bought in years (a decade maybe). I wanted to get Vibrams, but without a place to get them locally I decided to buy shoes I could have fitted and try on (I’ve read that Vibram’s aren’t easy to size for).  Also I figure in winter the Nike’s will be better than the  Vibram’s.

So my two mile run today was fantastic.  Felt good.  The lightness of the shoes were awesome, way less clunky than my old New Balance’s.  It wasn’t a fast run, but according to what I’ve read about going from regular running shoes (that are more traditional with a heal strike) to something like the Nike Free’s or Vibram’s that have a more natural mid to forefoot strike you are supposed to break the new stride in over a period of time.

So in accordance with my “focus on AJ” theme, the living room is clean, the dishes are done, kitchen clean, and bathroom clean.  The bedroom is a work in progress.  I exercised (ran), I did a drawing, I read for half an hour (a new addendum I put on my “focus on AJ” agenda) and the bed is made despite the room being in a little bit of disarray.  So its not a bad start.

I’m getting ready for bed now, which should put me in the close to 7 hours or sleep (or at least rest) and on task to a good night’s rest.  I like the start.

Now to keep it that way.  End with a shot of the moon.  Grab some water and my book (I started reading The City of Falling Angels, don’t ask me what its about, I’m only 32 pages into it), and off to bed.  Night o world.  Catch you tomorrow.
