Look what I just bought!
« on: May 19, 2008, 08:43:56 PM »
My reward to myself for finishing a 5K was a pair of real running shoes. I even went to a specialty store for runners. A lovely gentleman named Juan analyzed my feet and had me try several pairs out.

These are what I ended up getting:

Now that I'm signed up for another 5K, I knew I needed to get with the program and get some real shoes.

The clerks at the store couldn't believe I had been running all this time in ratty ol' Sketchers.

I'm so excited now!

So, do you, like, have a tight body and everything?  :naughty:

The weather forecast for your run is 118 degrees.
I hope they're fireproof.

Yeah, but it's dry heat.  :uhsure:

The sales clerk was having me jog in several pairs outside. This was about an hour ago. It was blazing hot. I said this is good practice for my next race.

LOL...Your spirit of joy always warms my heart, BC.  :-* :-)

Good job, jen! I bought myself a pair of Reeboks for running a few weeks back.

They are light, filter air through, and feel great. I love them. Makes a huge difference imo. Enjoy!
