Oh yeah Baby! I’m Superwoman!
Oh my goodness!! I feel like a million bucks today!!! This is sooo crazy funny, but I went to buy some new running shoes yesterday because over the last several months I have been having a little knee issue that strangely enough, goes from one knee to the next. A few friends suggested new running shoes.
So I went to this shop, solely for running, and they measured my foot, made me walk barefoot down the aisle as the salesguy watched my feet (for pronation, but my husband said he was sure it was just to watch my butt) and then gave me a "test" pair of sneakers and watched me from behind as I ran down the sidewalk, again to check how I was landing on my feet during running. Did I tell you I had jeans on and they were rolled up so he could see my foot, calves?? LOL!! Sexy! ha ha– not!
So i buy the pair of Asics along with some arch supports and WOW!!! I went for a run this morning… NICE!!! I have been wearing them this morning and I swear, I feel like my quads are strong and tight. Just walking in these sneakers makes me feel like Superwoman!! It is sooooo strange that such a minor thing as getting a really good pair of sneakers makes a difference in the way that I’m walking, and not to mention, gives me a spring in my step and well, it’s gone to my head… lol. I feel like my lower body is supertight!! ha ha ha!
All this is a breath of fresh air to start the new year right. Lots of focus for the new year and goals I have set. I never say resolutions, because that is an automatic setup for failure. GOALS are something to strive to accomplish and should always be realistic. I have to say that the goals I set last year, I completed each and every one. No hesitation, no regrets. Pure enjoyment and perseverance. Never tell yourself you can’t do it!
Have a fabulous New Year’s Eve and I send the best of wishes for AN AWESOME 2009. If 2008 was great, ohhhhhh baby— let’s see whats in store for 2009!!!
Keep training hard!

You go to fleet feet?? When I start my cut I’m going to get a new pair of running shoes. Good to see a fellow Houstonian in here.

I love my asics, they were so worth the cost. In fact I need a new pair soon.

I used to be a New Balance fan until I tried Asics Gel. My legs were so tired from running and I HATE running ! Good choice if I must say !
