The other day I bought my first offical fancy pair of running shoes. They are the ASIS Gel-Kayano's almost exactly like the ones in the picture here- except pink, black, and white on the top side. I love them.I am however EXTREMELY annoyed about something I JUST found out. I spent $140.00 on the shoes and bought inserts for my high archs hoping that would help with my shin splints... leaving my bill at $200.00. I know. I know. WHO PAYS THAT??? Well, apparently only me. I just looked online to find this picture and found them on SALE for $87.00. WHAT THE WHO!?! I think I feel more then a little robbed...
But alas- that's not what I was going to write about. I was going to write about how excited I am to finally have some nice shoes. I'm hoping that they will help with my hip, leg, and shins. GEESH. I'm really falling apart on myself, aren't I?
But no worries! I'm happily terrified to announce that I will be starting a completely new regimine beginning tomorrow at 8:45 am. I am scared to death. haha! I will be working with a personal trainer that has experience, and knowledge in hip injuries. He also works under a physical therapist so I feel that I am in great hands. I mean, the last physical therapist I saw two weeks ago left me lame for two days afterward. What can be worse then that?
So tomorrow- on Valentines day... I just might die. But that's okay because I will die in a sweaty oblivion wearing brand new pink shoes. Not a whole lot more I can beg for if you ask me. :)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! :)
ps. I have to add that I have been saving up for these shoes for awhile. My husband and I talked about it with some professionals trying to find the right "fit" for me. It kind of seems like a frivolous buy when we are saving for a home... but getting me up and moving again has to be a priority as well. :)
You can also find the site for the great deals here. I selected pink and put in my shoe size of 10.5- which is hard to find. Good luck!!!

Holy smokes Batman! That's a great price for those shoes. Where on-line did you find that price? I run (or at least try to) in those shoes and I love them!
Here is the link to the site I found them on. My shoes size is really rare apparently so the
10.5's are $87. :) Good luck!

Shoes can make all the difference. Hope these work for you! Good luck with your new regime. Hope the hip responds well, too. You impress me!
Yes, 10.5 is really rare -- I also wear that size. Found one pair a couple years ago at Sports Authority in 10.5 but most companies only make a 10 or 11 :( Ryan hates shoe shopping with me because I search forever for shoes that fit right (esp. running shoes). Thanks for the link, I just may have to try it now that I'm ready to get back into running. Good luck with your new trainer!
Thanks for the link. I wear a 10.5 too. The blue ones are $85. I agree with Julie that shoes make all the difference. How was your workout today?
Don't feel so bad, there are actually people out there who spend MORE than that on shoes!! CRAZY! But those are some cute shoes!! And don't feel like you need to justify spending a lot on shoes. Shoes are vital tools for being able to exercise, and without the proper support, you will just injure yourself even more!!
Good luck with your training!! I can't wait to hear how it goes...and please don't die. LOL!!! :) I love you!!
Congrats on the new shoes! Boo to the price.
Good luck with your new work outs! I hope all goes well.
