Nothin' Like New Shoes

With Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals taking place in Pittsburgh today, I'm hoping that the Pens can eliminate the Flyers so I can relax for a few days. It would be a great way to start off the new workweek.

On another "feel good" note, I broke out my new New Balance 846's that I purchased on Ebay this winter. I waited patiently and even though it rained hard this morning the sun came out and the wind was blowing heavy. I figured it would be alright. I don't like to get my new shoes dirty right away. And although there was some standing water and wet leaves it wasn't too bad. I decided after Frederick to go back exclusively to New Balance. If today's run is any indication, I think I made the right choice. This shoe might be the most comfortable shoe I've worn since...well, my last pair of New Balance.

Let's go Pens!!!

UPDATE: No problem. 6-0 Pens over the Flyers. Bring on Dallas or Detroit. An amazing run by the good guys.
