What's a weekend without baking? This morning some of the nursery helpers at church were professing their love for pumpkin pie, and I saw these cookies (for the recipe, go here) and figured it was a good compromise...I felt like chocolate chip cookies, but it's pumpkin season. The only thing the recipe needs is some pumpkin pie spice, I think.Things are fine...mostly. Didn't really enjoy last week at work...the kids were really hyper and it was just a pain. Not feeling the teaching mojo. Ready for a holiday, I guess. And it's starting to get near the end of the term...benchmark tests, reviews, exams, and then a whole new trimester and 80 new students. Not looking forward to the stress. I know it always works out...but just not excited. I'm sure that's how most people feel about their jobs...so I should just suck it up, right?
We got Casey a pair of five-fingered toe shoes and went for a short trail run to test them out.
I really do love running, even if it's just thirty minutes. Casey ended up running really barefoot by the end, as the shoes were rubbing, and my knee was a little sore, but it was still fun getting out there. I'm going to try to do the 8 miler for the Turkey Trot, so that gives me something to work up to. :-)

TOE Shoes!? What?!
so what is the advantage to these shoes?
Those don't look like they would be very good for running, but what do I know...
Okay, for real, I am kind of obsessed with pumpkin. How can I get my hands on these cookies? Mmmm....
And yes, those shoes are c-r-a-z-y. I agree with Tiff, tell us the advantage of said shoes?
I have the exact pair of five finger shoes that feature in this post- and they are fantastically comfortable! They help with a more natural balance and posture and just feel good on the feet. I am a frequent runner but would never wear them for a run because they would aggravate my already dodgy knees due to the lack of support/cushion.
