    New Shoes

     I've been long over due for a new pair of running shoes. My old pair has pretty much been dismantled for the last few weeks and I have my retarded work/travel schedule to thank for my recent lack of shopping prowess. Allow me to introduce you to NB M871's. They're a little flashier than I'm used to, but the shoes themselves demanded that I buy them. Crazy shoes.
     
    BTW - I tried to upload a picture of these shoes but WLSpaces won't let me. I guess I've reached my "...monthly photo upload limit...".  Thats complete BALLS! Limit? LIMIT!? I should at least be able to post a picture if I delete old ones. Which I have. Gah...

    PS - There we go.
