Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

Total Distance
4.00

Every 7th pair of shoes is free at SLrunning and I happened to be up to my 7th pair from there. So I got some Brooks along with my Kayano's. I ran on the Brooks today, I have never run on Brooks before. They are light as a feather and really soft. I really liked them. I'm excited to have two pair to switch off with. Who would have thought that I, ME would get this excited over a pair of running shoes!

Windy day out there. Wasn't bad heading East, but any other direction was a fight with the wind, especially heading South. But I tried to avoid that and it felt good to go run on my New shoesies!! Happy Running!

free = fantastic

at times i'm ashamed to admit my utter fascination with new running shoes (especially given my proclivity toward using one pair for 1000+ miles)

Whoa you're on fire!

So cool to have two pairs of shoes!

Nice job getting out there in these less than perfect conditions. Wind = yuck.

I pride my self on being a minimalist, and have focused on "voluntary simplicity" for years. But when it comes to running shoes I have no control!

running shoe addicts unite!

Oh, I like Brooks!

From Lysa on Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 16:48:45 from 50.8.107.35

Then its okay to admit out loud that I hold them, and look at them, and smell them, and study them, then I show everyone in my family them at least twice. And then I display them on my chair next to my bed?? : )

You are too funny! Are they PINK????

From Lysa on Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 00:34:47 from 50.8.107.35

The asics are HOT PINK, white and silver!! And the Brooks are silver, white and shiny fire truck RED!!
