Runners High

This weekend I finally caved. After seeing the sales sign multiple times driving by Famous Footwear, I found myself creeping in on Sunday afternoon to simply "check it out"... well that's what I told Joel. Secretly, I knew I needed a pair of running shoes to replace my old Asics who have served me well the past 6 months. Not only was it a buy one, get the next pair 1/2 off, but they were ALSO on sale! I scored huge... check out these beauties:

Ok, so the picture is small, but really in person they are much darker grey and the magenta pops. My favorite thing about them are the dark grey laces. Isn't it annoying when your pretty new shoes get dirty??! I'm convinced the grey will keep their freshness much longer! I can't wait to hit the gym today to show them off :)

Speaking of the gym... I'm giving myself a workout plan to go along with Joel's upcoming soccer season. Since he's gone for basically the next three months, I decided to dedicate myself to working out for 90 days straight. Usually this is how long I train for a 1/2 marathon, which was the original goal, but after the stress fracture earlier this year and the recent return of my foot pains, I decided to call it quits for the fall half. This leaves me wondering what exactly I'm gonna do in the gym for the next 90 days. Sure, I can continue my normal routine of eliptical, bike, and occasional 2-3 mile jaunts on the treadmill, but I'm needing something else to spice up my routine. I've heard ALL about this P90X fad, which sounds phenomenal and of course intense, but I'd have to it alone... in my basement... and not sure if I trust myself to ALWAYS get the job done. So, I leave it to my followers to help me with this quest. Any suggestions on great classes to take at the gym?? Good routines to follow?? Jud, if you're reading this... put together a workout plan for me. Pretty please?!!

Here goes nothing on the quest to get a body like Megan Fox in 90 days! Ahem... Why are you laughing???! It's totally possible!
