2011 Resolution Run

As I mentioned before, I took part in the 2011 Resolution Run, sponsored by Brita and put on by the Running Room. As a bonus for registering you get the fab limited edition jacket along with that warm fuzzy proud feeling for getting up on New Year's Day and doing something active rather than staying in bed. I was hoping that my new Garmin would come before the New Year so that I would be able to track all my distances and times for the year. It was kind of nice that it didn't though as it was rather nice just to put one foot in front of the other without thinking at all about speed and times.

Me and my running (and otherwise) buddy Amanda

starting the year off right!

YAAAAAAYYYY! (New Running Shoes, Obv.)

The Mizuno Wave Creation Running Shoes cured me several years ago of terrible, horrible, very bad shin splints. Only two stores in my city carried them and at quite a bit more than the SRP. The Running Room has apparently decided to no longer sell them in their stores (or online) unfortunately. Since I'm well overdue for a new pair I decided to see if they were clearing them out on their website. I was in luck. I snagged them for about $100 less than if I'd bought them in-store. They're not the prettiest shoe but they sure do the trick.

Btw, I'm a neutral runner with high arches if you were wondering. :)
