More Middle Bay

Snowman and I got in a Middle Bay run today. It's a mellow route, but there was a head wind around every corner. How is that possible? Anyway, it was a good run except that we had to abort the first attempt at the run after 56 seconds, since poor Snowman was having shoe issues. He recently purchased a pair of Asics trail shoes after his failed attempt with the Inov-8s. They did not work. After some choice words, home we went so he could change into his other shoes. Then back to the Bowdoin field house lot and back on with the run.

After the run, we headed down to Portland, again, to the Maine Running Company, where Snowman tried on almost every possible shoe before coming home with one of the Brooks models. I hope they work. Otherwise, I'm afraid he's really going to have a fit and might have to start running barefoot!

Saw a beautiful blue heron in the Yarmouth marshes on the drive into Portland. First one of the season. Do herons migrate too? If so, looks like they're thinking spring has arrived in Maine. It doesn't quite look it yet, but hopefully warmer weather and snowless trails are in our near future!
