i heart my new shoes :)

yesterday was the first time i wore my new running shoes. i did 35 minutes on the elliptical. 10 on the stairmaster. and then i ran a half mile on the track. a half mile! i don't think i've ever run that far without stopping to walk. i don't know that i've even run/walked that far since grade school! go me. :) granted... for the next hour or so i kept coughing occasionally for no good reason while my breathing returned to normal...
