While I was out this weekend getting gifts for other people, I bought a few "gifts" for myself. I was using an old pair of Bose earphones with a really long wire, which I had to wrap around the arm band a few times just to keep it out of the way, but not any more! While at the Apple store in Orland Park, IL - I found a Bose sport set, which had the volume/talk/change song controller built into the wire (I never looked for one, so I didn't know it existed). I bought it, but also a Thomas the Train ipad game so that I wouldn't feel guilty for buying for myself only, hehe.
Next I strolled into Finish Line just to take a look at running shoes. They had a sale, so I stepped up the quality of my running shoes. I bought a pair of Nike Freerun 5.0 running shoes and I really love them. They have great arch support and seem to help roll my foot forward duing the run. Anyone have thoughts on the Freerun's?
Now I know that these things are not needed to run successfully, but I will say that both of these purchases have helped me focus more on the running and less on the distractions that come with sub par running equipment.
Yesterday I signed up for 1 race a month from March to July 2013. I also signed up for a 10 mile run into Soldier Field in May. 50 yard line in the home of the Chicago Bears...bad ass if you ask me!
Thanks for stopping by!
Adam
