Mrs. Bird is making progress! She’s so awesome.

With the great weather, I’ve been trying to do a lot more walking (and a little bit of jogging) outside. But when I heard pea gravel rattling around in the torn soles of my shoes, I realized that I needed a new pair. After a little bit of research and some advice from my big brother, I picked up these lovely sneaks. Their selling point is that they work your butt more than normal shoes. Heck, yeah — I’m in! I picked them up after work and tried them out tonight. I don’t know what these suckers did for my butt, but they killed my ankles. It’s similar to the pain that I associate with wearing ice skates. You know, I think I might be okay with my saggy butt. Forget no pain, no gain. As far as I’m concerned, no pain, no pain.
