running shoes

well, I had quite a successful trip to Target this past week!
My mom and I ventured out early Wednesday afternoon to look for various random items.  The stars aligned and it seemed like everything awesome in that store was on sale and we ended up getting quite a bit!


Such as my new running shoes… oh my, they are wonderful lumps of $7 rubber and cloth gold.  No, they’re not legit Nikes or anything of that sort, but BOY do they feel wonderful.  Much better than my other ones which were falling apart, held together by duct tape on my last run.


I’m so high class, the duct tape was even the expensive bright green kind instead of plain old boring silver.


Needless to say, my run was nothing short of fantastic.  A mile and a half of lovely, non-strenuous happiness.  Another note, that was my first evening run ever.  I loved it, although I don’t think it’ll become a regular thing simply due to my eating habits… I like running on a completely empty stomach.


I’ve also found a great source of free running music, although I haven’t listened to more than a few clips of them so I don’t have much of an idea of how much of it is ‘booty music’.  but I encourage you to at least check it out and see for yourself if you’d like to give it a whirl.
