Note

With the gates on the roads into the National Forest now open, I wasted no time to head to a new area now accessible, and elected to run at Pitcher Hill. In my mind, outside of Telephone Song, it is the "sagest" area we have here, and while you don't have to love sage, if you're going to run at Pitcher Hill and thrive, you do have to learn to deal with it. Good stuff.

When I was done and back at the truck, I took off my shoes and realized they had done their last run. These were inov-8 OROC 340s which I've had for so long I can't even be sure how long I've used them. 4+ years, is what I'll go with. However long it's been, I put *a lot* of hours and kilometers on them, and they held up far better than any other O' shoe I've ever had--and that's a lot of shoes over the years.

So what am I going to do now? Well, since I bought 2 pairs at the same time, I think I'll pull out pair number 2, and with any luck I'll be fine for another few years of training (I race in a lighter shoe.)
