I bought some sweet new running shoes from Run N Fun in Saint Paul. They're Adidas Supernova Cushion. They'll go into the rotation with the Mizunos.

I also hit the mall in Eden Prairie, as well as REI, and TJ Maxx.

We had dinner at a Thai restaurant called Sawatdee in downtown Minneapolis. The service wasn't all that great, the place was filthy and the guys complained that their food wasn't as spicy as they wanted. It was a disappointment because the Minneapolis City Guide gave it the Best Thai Food award.

We had a few drinks at the next door hotel bar before calling it a night. Oh, and we found out that Josh can't wink.

Minneapolis - Day One

Old people who can hardly drive should not be employed as hotel shuttle drivers. Seriously, can't they tend to the shrubbery or something? The shuttle driver to the Mall of America proudly informed me that even though his wife doesn't allow him to drive anymore, the hotel lets him drive on short runs. Yipee for me! I think he had Parkinson's in his hands and feet because we were constantly swaying from left to right and speeding up and slowing down. Also, he was very chatty and insisted on turning around to look at me when as we were zooming down the expressway. Seriously scary. I still think it was a miracle that we arrived safely.

I must be getting older because the Mall of America does not have the same appeal it once did. I could never figure out which side I was on and once I did, I was always on the side which was the farthest away from where I wanted to be. I swear, I walked 10 miles. My feet are sore as hell.

Anyway, we went to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ (meh), poked around in REI for five minutes before they closed and went to the next door hotel for drinks to wrap up the night.

Tomorrow starts my quest for new running shoes.
