(return of) Silver Liningness

As alluded to a few days ago, I thought I should bring back the weekly "silver lining" entry.  No better time like the present...

First of all, I'm glad that it's officially fall - YAY, my favorite season.  Join me in a round of "Kill the Allergens, KILL the Allergens!!"

And with fall comes fall sports.  Yesterday, Wolfgang had a local cross-country meet, so it was the first race I'd attended this season.

It wasn't his best race, but it was unseasonably hot, and I had a feeling the times would be relatively slow.  Still, it was fun to watch him run.    There are a few more localish meets on the schedule that I'm looking forward to.

On a similar note, I had a sweet coupon and got these funny looking running shoes for myself last week:

The latest thing - this zigzag design.   My review-in-ten-words-or-less:  Comfy, fast, good for 10K or less.  We'll have fun together. 

Today, the older guys are out doing manly things.  Magnum, Chaco and Wolfgang are at a Hunter Safety course.  Magnum asked if I wanted to sign up too.  Uhm... no.  I'm all for preparing for the zombie apocalypse and all, but an all-day Hunter Safety class?  Uhm... no thanks.

So, it's just Meego and me today - bonding opportunity.  Like now?  While I'm on the internet and he's watching yet more of "Red v. Blue"??

Hmm... maybe I should go.

ZigZag shoes? Do they improve the mileage or make it easier on the feet? Let's see how long they hold up on the trail.

I love fall too. I wish it would stay until spring.

I have to admit, I chuckled a little when you said it was fun to watch Wolfgang run. I remember watching Jake at his track meets and not getting the "fun" part. Maybe you have to be a runner to get it?

Love your new shoes! I see them everywhere these days. Curious to see if they end up being more than a fad.
