Excuse my tardiness...

Sorry about yesterdays missing blog but it was a very late day at the gym for me and usually I blog after workouts. I didn't get there until around 11:30 and got out at around 1:30.

 I finally got some awesome running shoes! I must say that it is super important to find the proper shoe for your feet. For instance I am an over-pronator but I don't have flat feet. For as long as I can remember I've always had shin splints! I loved to wear Nike shocks about a year ago I had to stop wearing them because they gave me severely painful shin splints.

I went on a quest to find a decent pair of shoes and ended up with a couple pairs of the Nike lunar series. When I got to Colorado I broke out my second pair of Lunars and its what I've been wearing ever since. Lately I noticed I was having a hard time with my run and when I went to do lunges my feet danced around. Definitely time for a new shoes.

Yesterday we shopped around and ended up at Dick's sporting good store. I had read that Brooks brand had the best shoes available for running. I tried some on and after adding in a new sole insert, I fell in love with them.

They were even more awesome at the gym. When I got on the treadmill I could feel the stabilization. My feet didn't dance around during my lunges either! Today I was supposed to go take em running at the track but the snow didn't allow for it so tomorrow morning I'll be finding out just how awesome my shoes are on the track. lol.

They were a great asset to my gym workout. Plus I finally bought new goggles! lol. So my pool workout was fabulous too! lol. All in all it was a lovely day at the gym.

Even though I initially didn't feel like working out I'm definitely glad I did! Sometimes you just have to push yourself to do it. Its what I do everyday. It is definitely a little harder on some days lol. Happy Workouts!!
