I got shoes!!!

I'm now the proud owner of my first pair of running shoes! The most expensive pair of shoes I own too. I guess that speaks to my commitment to this marathon, believe me, I'm quite frugal. The shoes feels so good, I wanted to wear them back to the office, except they don't really go well with a suit. I still have a few more things I saw that I want to buy, so I'll be going back some other time.
I've been telling everyone about doing the marathon, I guess the more people that know, the more people there are to hold me accountable, right? I still get the "are you crazy?" look. kind of the same look I got when I told people I was a chemical engineer.
