update -- Gansett Marathon DONE

So, it's the day after the marathon. Hope to report on that later -- been so busy I'm now way behind in run reports, but I may just pick up afresh after a list of runs done. The Gansett was tough (windy, cold, went out too fast, but learned a lot), and today I celebrated by spending my B'Town PTO prize, a Dick's gift card, on a new pair of shoes: adizero Sonic M (blue), size 11 [US]. Not trail shoes, but some useful traction, I hope; also they're not hard road shoes like the Asics I got last year, and they're not as raised as so many other shoes styles. Hope they'll do me for a year or so as race shoes, but I'll have to see how they handle the trails and how they wear. Priced at $70, but w/ gift card only $60.
