Baby girl's new shoes

So I bought my first pair of real running shoes. I realized as I was purchasing them that every pair of running/tennis shoes I've ever owned were pre-owned. All of my previous running shoes either belonged to my mom or my Aunt Dale first. Both of them have always been pretty health concious,with my mom being physically fit all her life, and my aunt dale being more like me (up and down). Before signing up for this race, I never looked into running or the appropriate footware. I didn't know certain shoes were meant for certain feet,certain weights,or certain terrains.

I realized that if I had any chance of truly training and finishing this race,I needed to get my own pair of shoes! I ended up selecting the Nike Jana Star Waffle lll in blue.





















Not really my preffered color of choice(I'm a green girl), but supposedly it will get the job done. I went for a run on the treadmill this morning in one of my mom's old pair of shoes,and my lower back was freaking killing me after only a mile and a half. Seriously?!

My shoes won't be here for another week or so,but until they arrive, I'm gonna have to come up with some creative cardio workouts.

In other news, I just had to make a mention of the CIA having a need for Ebonics Translators...no lie! It's very hard for me to express how baffled I am by this, but I guess if they need them, they need them right?

eesh.
