I am a child of the eighties, I have no problem with neon colors, but do running shoes have to be so ugly? I've loved my light blue Adidas Mana's, but since I am going to be putting some more running mileage on my shoes - I went to Movin' Shoes in Encinitas to get a new snazzy pair. I now own a pair of Nike Lunaracers. They truly defy description. They are super light-weight - look like they will do well around water. And are bound to make people smile or outright belly laugh. Perhaps it is because I am a slower runner that these seem ridiculous. Do I really want people staring at my feet? Is the goal to cause hysterics in the people behind me so that they won't be able to catch up to me? Or is this for pitch-dark runs so that everybody can see me? Not that I do any late night runs, but have no doubt that the drunk drivers will have no problem finding me with these shoes. I am taking them out for a test run this evening so I will let you know.
It was a weekend of purchases. Bought a Polar heart rate monitor so that I can see what is going on in the H20. I have a Garmin GPS 305 that I love, but will not bring in the pool with me; so I'm excited to see if I am pushing myself in the pool.
See you out on the road. You can't miss me in my new shoes =)
