To grovel or not to travel on gravel? That is the question. When you are running on asphalt with gravel (not gravy) on the side, do you switch back and forth to give your legs a little more variety? It's not a bad idea at all, as I have pleasantly discovered. The choice between asphalt and concrete is clear -- I'll take asphalt any day because it is grainier and softer but firm all the same. Besides, I think asphalt might be easier on your sole wear and tear although I am not sure about that. The New Balance 766 seems to have been a perfect match for my feet although I think that my feet would eventually adjust to any shoe, even lead huaraches for that matter. Most importantly, running with a visor is probably easier on your bio-thermal mechanism as it allows better heat dissipation than afforded by the teensy-weensy holes of a baseball cap.
As far as hats and caps go, it seems that thrift stores might have more varieties of caps than your department stores which might be limited by their vendors and customer preferences. So, although finding a hat or cap in a thrift store is more akin to a treasure hunt, your patience might pay off in a stellar acquisition that may cost less than an order of burger and fries. I was at a thrift store today and learned that if a thrift store has a rehabilitation center affiliated with it they need not charge you a sales tax. So, those that don't have to charge sales tax. That's the knowledge lesson for the day. But I still have to figure out the mentality of folks who haggle at a thrift store or maybe they are pushing the concept of being thrifty to being in self-proclaimed penury.
Unresolved query of the day: Which Mahi Mahi burrito is better -- the one at Baja Fresh or Rubio's Mexican Bar & Grill?
