went to georgetown running (RIP chevy chase running) to buy some new shoes. the old ones made it to 450 miles but they had rips down the side and the sole was torn up on one of them and they were pretty much trashed. the guy there recomended the new balance 1080s or the brooks glycerins and the new balance felt better so I went with those. turns out my shoe size is smaller than I thought, but my feet are very wide so I've been getting shoes that are too long to accommodate the width. the new balances fit a bit wider so the length is better. unfortunately, they are not a pretty color.

took them out for their first run minutes later. dropped my mom at a new years party and ran from there because it was getting dark. went into glover archbold at resevoir and turned around at cathedral because it was already the official sunset time. when I got back to the car it was pretty dark already but fortunately, I happened to park next to a track that was unlocked. I went in there for a while and did some laps and ended up running decently fast by the end. felt much better than I have recently and nice to get going a bit faster even though I didn't manage to do a real second workout.
