My New Babies: Saucony's!

I've been needing a new pair of running shoes for a while now. Sorry Nike, but you are just not cutting it. This year for Christmas my parents agreed to buy me a pair. As you know, when you are a runner, you go through shoes like there is no tomorrow, especially when you run 15-20 miles a week. That's a lot of wear and tear on your shoes...not to mention your feet. I'll talk about runner's feet later on and what helps me to overcome sore, dry, and achy feet. (Who knew when you run you are use your feet 100% of the time). 

Anyways, the day after Christmas I went on my first run in a week and boy am I glad I had my Saucony's to back me up. It's difficult to maintain a running schedule 24/7, but when you do, it's seriously the best thing for your body. Because once you fall of the track, it is hard to start where you left off. The holidays are the worst for me. All of the junk food, shopping, and spending time with family, it can be hard to run everyday.

Oh man, I'm in heaven! These lovely things could take me anywhere. If you want to pick up running, please please... if you haven't learned anything else, make sure you have an excellent pair of shoes. If you don't, it can result in injuries and cause you to not be able to  run in general. It is so important to run with a great pair, even though they can be costly. Try to find the deals, order online, or shop the stores like Marshall's. 

Now that we are talking about running, I am pretty disappointed. Like I said in my last post I've come down with the nasty flu. When I'm sick, my life is a disaster. I don't clean, I lay in bed, I want to hire a maid or a cook. I'm just lazy. Last night I crawled in bed and instead of watching the ball drop, I put Aladdin on and waited for Joe to come check on me after work. He didn't get out of the restaurant until after 1am. You know I love him when I wait up for him, even if I'm sickly. I AM looking forward to the soup he is making! If anything, the orange juice and soup will cure me ;)

Right now, green tea with honey and lemon will have to do.

My wonderful roommate Rachel brought me orange juice. 

It's not cool being sick. You miss out on all the fun. When I get sick, I always do around an important time of the year or a holiday. This year I just missed out on all the fun, dressy parties and music, and the ball dropping. Well, maybe next year! 

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to 2014!
