I want to try a pair of Brooks Pures...There may still be a bit too much of me for them yet.
Running for TJ because he can't.
You mean I needed to stop buying running stuff until now? Oops.
I should be getting a House delivery on Monday. I'll post a pic then.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Don't they let you run in them at the store? I've run my share of miles at my LRS while trying on shoes.
it wasn't offered, didn't think to ask. I didn't see a treadmill anywhere as well. They told me after I bought my first pair I could bring them back after a week of using on the TM. For trade of another pair.

Ah...our LRS just lets you go out in the parking lot and run laps. I don't know how other LRS operate. I just know what I'm used to. They have a treadmill, but they only really use it when the weather is bad.

Best. Shoe. Ever.

I ordered two pairs of 2XU running shorts. Like, real running shorts, not the gym shorts I've always worn. They are sitting at the post office right now. As you may know, their stuff ain't cheap. Thanks to a coupon though, I got two pairs of shorts for $50. SCORE.

Whoring it up a bit.
Nike womens SW Rival Shorts
And my new favorite pair(s) of shoes.
All three are Asics Gel-GT2000 and I love them, and probably will be buying 2 or 3 more pairs by summer just in case they decide to get rid of or "improve" on this awesome pair.

Calm down Dave.
What? I was just commenting on the nice ASICs...hot colors, ya know. I dig purple....**that's my story and I'm stickin' to it***
There's purple in there? I thought it was Fuscia or raspberry.
Yeah, what he said!
Nice Hi-Hat in the background.
**Looks at 2nd pic for the first time** Ummm....yeah! It's a kinda purple.
**Hopes explanation is good enough**
Lol, yeah those are my stepson's drums, DH and two stepsons are in a band together and they've got serious gear.
I still don't see purple except a little bit on the black shoes.
