New shoes, new watch

It’s been another milestone day.  Step by step I’m making my way back to real running.  I have no problem taking it slow, gingerly really so that I can safely transition into my new normal.  I’ve been engaging in walk/runs a couple times a week and realized that it’s imperative I have a substantial pair of running shoes.  I’d like as many factors on my side to avoid injury so shoes it is. I also promised myself that I’d get a shiny new Apple Watch once I am running again.  After carrying my phone for a couple walk/runs I quickly realized how irritating it is not having a watch.  So I spent this past Friday at the running shoe store and the Apple store.  Many hundreds of dollars later I am equipped for my new goals.  I may never run another marathon but I will get where I can.  I’m okay with baby steps. Right now my goal is to run continuously for 30 minutes or a 5K distance.  Ready set go!
