i have a love affair with shoes. i came out a while okay and divulged that fact. this just proves it.
running love affair? not so much. it's more like i have one of those love/hate relationships with running. i'm fascinated and have a total crush on running until the act of running partakes and then i'm hating it.
inside of me there is a girl who wants to run and loves to run. <insert the negative however> however it is the hardest dang activity ever. it's not my muscles but my lungs. after one mile, yes one dang mile, my lungs are burning. i feel like i'm trying to breathe through a freaking straw. <insert healthy however> however the idea of getting into a healthy routine of running daily sounds amazing. me and a trail with some tunes in my ear having alone time. strengthening my heart, my body and my mind. that is my goal.
rewind. two days ago i'm shopping for tate and new soccer cleats and i browse the women's running shoe section with adoration. they look so enticing. then i see a pair that speak to me. they taunt me. try me on. it doesn't help that i am a total sucker for great design. so i slip them on and oh man... i love them. i'm thinking... maybe i'll run more. maybe. just maybe. when i see they are on sale and the only 8.5 are on my feet, i think they are meant to be.
fast forward. test drive. yep, i took these bad little boys for a test drive and omgosh i love them even more. best dang $60 i spent. i literally don't want to take them off.
so here's to hoping i find my running mojo and sticking with the plan to run at least a mile a day and build to three a day. and there is a positive... i can always look down at my new shoes and be a happy girl.
you can find these bad boys here. you'll notice the price and yes i totally scored a bargain. love bargains. i purchased my shoes on base at the exchange and they were 20% off. wahoo. happy shopping and running to you. xo
