I broke out my last pair of “new” running sneakers for the the Tour Des Fleurs race and immediately began to panic about not having a new back-up pair in waiting…lol.  The ones I am wearing now are the blue ones above that are about 2 years out of fashion   I got them onsale at Lukes last August.  I put my cute little Nike+ chip in them before the race and I was really nervous because it was not near as snug of a fit in these sneakers as my last pair.  Turns out it read a little more accurate.  I really cannot complain at all about the sports band.  It does exactly what I need for a fair price.  I just wanted something that could keep reasonably accurate track of how many miles I have run so I could make up routes on the fly.

Oops…I am getting off track.  So after mourning for my last pair of new sneaks I began to search for my back-up pair at the mall and online this weekend.  I ended up getting the best deal with a coupon code from Bethany (thanks, B!!) at Nike.com that put them at $56, yay for clearance shoes!

Of course since I had the coupon code for extra 20% off clearance items  I ended up with a couple of other items in my shopping cart.  :p  I am calling them bday gifts

In other news…my 15miler yesterday morning was rough, but I got through it.  Rewarded myself with a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks and donated a dollar to some lady at the dart rail needing a ticket.   I know I’m a sucker   Decided to take a day of rest today so looks like I was one day short on my 5 day running schedule last week.  Ended up with 30miles total for the week and I am ok with that.

Hope ya’ll had a great weekend!
