New Shoes

Running:
Initially I was going to take Thursday off from running. Then I decided I was going to wear my new shoes for the race on Saturday. I felt I better give them an easy test anyway. I went out for a 4 mile easy run in 32:51. The shoes felt great. They are Asics Landreth 5's. I have been doing all my long runs in this model since coming back from injury in May. I scored these a few weeks back on eBay for about 1/3 of the going price of $100. Friday I will be resting up for the 7:00 start of the half marathon on Saturday.




Hunting:
I put up my new ladder stand this morning. As I mentioned the other day I still have some additional work to do to clear shooting lanes and camouflage the stand. Climbing up in it though I think it will provide me the view and coverage I was hoping for with it's placement.

Gardening:

The pumpkins are really looking fantastic. I will have at least 100 of the best looking bunch of them I have ever grown. Most vine crops start having problems with powdery mildew as the summer goes along. I noticed this was starting to spread in the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins are big and plentiful enough that if the plants start shutting down soon it won't be any problem.
Over the weekend I'll take some more pictures for posting.
