Kidding, but only a little. It was Diva Night at my favorite shoe store, Fleet Feet in Ridgeland, MS, and I got to taste a couple of wines, a moscato and a pinot noir, both by Red Tree from Colony Market in Madison. And I had been planning for quite some time to replace my running shoes. Even the Dear Daughter, when seeing the soles of them, said, "Wow! You need some new shoes!" If they were tires, they'd have been bald.
But a nice pinot noir takes a little of the sting out of the price. Running shoes are expensive. It is one of the things that kept me running, even after quitting a few times. I had some $100 shoes, so you can't waste something like that. You have to take them and wear them out.
To me, $100 is a lot for shoes. My power pumps for work come from Tar-jay. $30 max.
But good running shoes are cheaper than injuries. My faves are the Adidas Supernova Sequence. The pair I got last night, marked down 15 percent, is my fourth pair. They are the most comfy shoe I have ever worn. They are more comfy that my own feet.
Here's a commercial for them. Mine look very similar to the kind the guy is putting on, but I bought a women's pair:
And I also have to include my favorite running commercial ever, Nike's "I Would Run To You." I don't run in Nikes but am sorely tempted to after hearing this little ditty. Plus her outfit rocks and the lyrics are hilarious. "Baby, I could die without you ..."
"Baby, I could die ..."
