I’m a shoe hog! That’s right, a shoe hog! I just bought another pair of Puma H-Streets – this time in this lovely color combo.

My excuse is that these puppies are discontinued and I have to scoop them up before they’re all gone. It’s a good reason right? Right?! Oh, and have I mentioned they only cost thirty bucks?

If you’re counting, I now have three pairs of these shoes. Here is a link to the other two.



what does CRN mean for this blog?

All five of you regular readers have probably been wondering that. Don’t worry, A Passion for Running isn’t goin’ anywhere. :)

For some time I’ve wanted to do more than I’ve been doing here. I’ve wanted to try my hand at being more informative and more opinionated (if that’s possible!) but in a more structured way. CRN is going to provide that opportunity in spades.

The focus at CRN will not ruin this blog. In fact, I’m really excited about A Passion for Running because there will be a clear separation between the things I’ve been seeking, and some things I’ve wanted to do/do more of here. And what are those things? hmmm …

1. Getting back to a clear focus on my running.
2. Less peddling of … stuff. If you read this blog, you know what the ‘stuff’ has been. That’s not to say I no longer believe in the stuff, it’s just that there will be better places to peddle it. :)
3. A place to talk about non-running stuff. I’m going to talk more freely about the things in life besides running that interest me. Don’t ask me why I haven’t felt fully at ease doing that here (I don’t know the answer), but now I will.

I’m excited!
