Zumba and the New Sneaks

Monday, July 2nd~



   First Zumba class in a looooooong time! I'm out of practice and use to a different leading style, but it was good to do it again. I'm hoping the paint fumes will be gone next week, as well as the basketballs that kept rolling in the way! Julian had expressed that he wanted to join in, but then when the bigger kids were throwing the balls around, he got distracted and bailed on me.

  My new sneakers finally feel a little more broken in. I picked them up at the Nike outlet when we were in Missouri. I refuse to pay full retail price, even if I do buy kid's sizes! I really liked my last pair so I was hoping they were a model they still made or that they'd have something very similar. No such luck, but so far the new ones have been pretty good. They did well at Zumba and also the long distance walking training I've been doing. Now if  I only got that burst of energy the experts say people get after a good workout!

Sneaker Suggestions?

Wednesday, May 30, 2012~

Really am fond of these, but the insides look like swiss cheese.
 
Today was my first morning "training" for the half marathon in November. It's just over 13 miles and you get 4 hours. Started out this morning seeing how far I went in a hour at a nice pace. I did 3.33 miles which, if we kept that pace, would get us in under the 4 hours limit, but that's not the point. It was more just seeing how much improvement is needed. I usually walk 5k once a week so this was barely more than that. Just have to work on time now. We've planned on walking the half marathon too, but who knows, we have so much time, we may end up jogging a bit. 


Now all I need is a new pair of shoes. I've worn huge holes in the back of my current pair, but I love them so I've put off replacing them. They're Nikes, but I'm not tied to that brand. Any one suggest a good running/walking shoe?
