Wednesday Wanderings

Ran/walked around the block today in 48 minutes. Sunny a little breezy and 33 degrees. Another lovely day in February. Wasn't a fast time but I ran more than I walked and felt good at the end so that's good. Supposed to get some winter weather in the next day or so. Won't go out tomorrow and we'll see about Friday. If I don't have to work all night, Thursday, I should be able to get out and run.
It looks like that day shift is appearing to be a go. Now I need to decide if I want to work those hours. I've worked the shift I'm on for almost 6 years now and am very accustomed to the hours. But if it I get more family time I really should go for it. My wife says she's ready to see more of me. What is wrong with that woman?! The biggest drawback for me is the shift premium. $1.50 and hour is a chunk o' change over the course of a year. Well, I'd still get OT during storms and would still work 1 weekend a month so I could make up the 'lost wages' that way. I'll probably will go for it but will miss working 9 days on and having 5 off.
Maybe tomorrow I'll take time and check shoes out. Haven't found time to do so yet this week. I've been looking at reviews online and think I'll look at Mizuno, New Balance and Brooks. At least to start. I don't know what the local stores stock for these brands. Might end up going to Traverse City to try some on.
That's all I have on my mind for today. Will run for beer.
