On the sidebar of my blog I have listed some mini goals and rewards that go along with them. The rewards come every ten pounds. Several months ago when I broke into the 170's I should have gotten a massage. I never did.
But this week I decided I needed a new pair of running shoes. My feet had been hurting and my back, too. Neither pair that I alternate seem to feel too great and I think I have surpassed my recommended mileage on both of them.
So tonight I rewarded myself with a new pair. Actually my parents did ;)
They are pretty sassy, just like me. They feel like a little puffs of air surrounding my feet. I also learned at the store that most of my problem is likely due to my poor running technique. (Yes, they make you run in the store and watch!). So I will work on that.
Yay for new running shoes. And Yay that new running shoes are considered a reward in my book. This revived book of life that I am writing...
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. --Robert Frost

Very cool! Isn't it amazing how awesome the 'right' pair can feel? I too am a Brooks girl.
Whenever I start to notice odd aches and pains I think about the last time I bought shoes. I'm up for a new pair now. If it's not the shoes then it's time for a trip to my most fabulous chiropractor!! He's not a typical chiro but rather practices sports medicine and keeps athletes and weekend runners like myself going.
Yay for reaching a goal!!! You still should totally go for the massage too!!!
I happened opon your blog a few weeks ago. You are an insperation to me. I would love to ask you some questions about your weight loss and exercise.

LOVE the new shoes! Where did you purchase them that they make you run in the store ??
Love the shoes - Brooks right? I just got light blue ones like that- LOVE THEM! Check out your laces- do the ends say "dig" " deep"? At the store they relaced shoes a different way- my feet rarely fall asleep while running. I'll post a picture some time! Enjoy your first run!!!
Cool shoes! P.S. I love Matt Mar and that song! I listen to it on KLOVE all of the time- not sure if you have that station where you live but either way- good choice :)
Shoes are the best reward!...or at least one I'm very fond of :P
Love the shoes! :) I need some new ones myself.
Those shoes look great and I am all for rewarding yourself with shoes!!

SO what about your massage?? Massages are wonderful and great for you! Cute shoes, though!
Love the shoes! I'm a big believer in wearing the proper footwear for exercising. They make such a difference and help prevent injuries.
May you be blessed on many miles you will run in them!
I love coming to your blog to listen to your music. I love Matt Mar!! I love your shoes. I need to pamper myself with some new ones.
What kind are they?! I want to know! I think it's too late for me to buy any before the race, but you never know. I don't know! What do you think?
Cute shoes. What store did you go to that looked at your running form?
