I Did It!

Yep, I finally did it!  I broke down and bought new shoes.

As pictured above, I ended up staying faithful to Nike and went with their Air Pegasus 28 Breathe.  If I could marry these shoes, I totally would.  I'm in love!!!  Nike calls the color Copa, but I call it Tiffany's blue (it is the same color as their little blue bag).  One of the main reasons I'm so jazzed about these shoes is as an underpronator/supinator (only approx. 10% of runners are diagnosed as underpronators), I am always limited as far as style and color choice when it comes to buying running shoes.  Finally, I have kicks as cool as me (I'm kidding).

When I walked in Pacers yesterday evening after work and saw these blue beauties staring at me from high on the shelf, I just knew I had to have them.  Love at first sight.  Apparently, the store had just put them on the shelf about two hours before I walked in, so without a doubt, it was meant to be.  I was the first person to buy them from Pacers.

I took them for a short jog after I got home, and I immediately wanted to trash my old Nikes.  Not only were those shoes religious (read:  hole-y), but they no longer had the necessary padding to protect my feet when pounding the pavement.  I can't wait to take them out for some long runs this weekend and see the difference.  Yes, I feel like a new runner.

Happy running!
