These shoes were made for running

As promised, I used my winnings to get some much-needed running shoes. Now I have what I like to call "the Death Star shoes." That is, if Darth Vader were a runner, he would wear these. They are very black and futuristic, and I wasn't quite sure if I could rock them. But yes, I decided, I am woman enough to rock the black shoes! Check em out:


My cool, and kinda scary, New Balance 8505s.

Notice that while I did (for once) pay full price, and got exactly what I wanted, I didn't fork over the cash for new insoles, opting instead to wash and re-use my old ones.

I have yet to really test them though, since I've got this weird foot pain going on. I've just been doing the recumbent bike and sometimes, the elliptical. We'll see how they hold up when I start running again.

I also got a scale that includes body fat readings. I kinda like it — in that it keeps me in check — and I kinda don't, for obvious reasons.

    My to do list for this week:
  • Buy a yoga mat, darn it!!
