When All Else Fails . . .
Buy new shoes! I have been having strange pains in my foot since hitting the gym for training. I bought new shoes last summer, but they've always make my toes go numb, so I thought I really needed some more. They're Nike Shox running shoes in white with spiffy silver and orange accents.
They're a great match for my new silver Mercedes-Benz racing cap I got at the U.S. Grand Prix a couple of weeks ago. I love this hat, but it just didn't go with any of my sporty gear. They were having a great sale at Lady Foot Locker, so I got shoes, socks, and some great workout shorts and capris.
I'd never tried on Nike clothing before, but I was delighted to find that the pants are a great fit for me. The rise is NOT too low! The quality is good and everything is so breathable--perfect for the gym and walking in the heat. All the pants have drawstrings, too, so I should be able to wear them even if I lose or gain for awhile.
I took the shoes for a test run on a 45 minute walk with the dog. They were crazy-squishy like new sneakers always are, and I made it through the entire walk with my toe sensation intact. Whoo!
The best part is that I actually look almost cute in these clothes unlike my current workout wear that just makes me cringe everytime I glance myself lifting weights or using the elliptical at the gym. Damn those mirrors!
Anyway, I'm bored, so I'm posting a pic of my new shoes in the gallery for your amusement. You can see the hat in my Indy trip pics!
