I have now done several run in my new Reebok shoes and really like them.  They are nice and light and breathe well and keep the dirt and rocks out.  Haven't had a chance to test them with mud, but that most like will be with the next obstacle course race I do.

My Girl Friend's Thrive Experience By Le-Vel

     When my girlfriend has her monthly visitor, she lays in bed and hardly moved for at least the first day. She has little to no energy.  Her lower back hurt her horribly.  Its her day 3 on Thrive by Le-Vel and has chance would have it, day 3 of her nice little visit.  She got up with me and cleaned the entire house from top to bottom, without being asked. She has more energy and is not in pain.  She is a lot less crabby too. 

  I hate that she smokes. It stinks and its so bad for her.  Since she has been on Thrive by Le-Vel, when she smokes it gives her a head ache.  She used to "have" to smoke to "cure" her head aches. So she has stopped smoking !!!!  

  My girlfriend hates spending money and wasn't super sure about this product, but wanted to try, because she is always looking for a new way to get lots of vitamins and healthy stuff.  I believe this was the best $200 she has ever spent. It has been a life changing product for her.

Didn't get to do my long run like I was hoping, because of losing my cell phone between work and the start of my run.  So, I spent the time looking for it and replacing it.  On the bright side is that now the new phone has a waterproof case, so I can take it with me more places!
