Celebrating National Running Day quietly in Frick Park

Last year, I made something of a big deal of celebrating National Running Day in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh, for sentimental reasons. This year, I celebrated more quietly, by simply running one of my standard easy runs, a 5-mile run in Frick Park.

I have nothing to say, other than I’m happy to be out there running.

Luna Mono Sandals

I wore my Luna Mono Sandals, which is much thicker (12mm) than the Luna Venado Sandals (7mm) that I wore a lot last year. The Mono’s thickness makes it feel much different from the Venado: welcome cushioning, but at the expense of ground feel and flexibility. It’s all about tradeoffs.
