PRE!!! + 5 miles

Got my Pre today, got my Pre today!



Still evaluating, of course, I'll have a full report later this week.

Meanwhile, I ran 5 miles tonight after taking 4 days off, and I gotta tell you, it was great! Felt great, enjoyable the whole way through. There was even a headwind for about half the run, but I didn't mind.
