oops.

Confession time.

My plan called for 11 miles this week.

I logged 6.

Um yeah. My only excuse is laziness.

I went out Friday night for a friend's birthday & ended up consuming several delicious beers. So a run on Saturday morning was not happening.

Then, we went to the late show of Harry Potter on Saturday night (super good...i might have teared up.) and i just wanted to sleep in on Sunday morning.

So that's what i did.

Eh, not beating myself up too badly. I can make up the miles this week - weather and body willing!

I decided to order some new shoes to try last night - the Saucony Kinvara! I used to run in Nike Frees & loved the lightness of them - I'm hoping i'll feel the same way about the Kinvaras.

These babies should be here Thursday!

Anybody else like the lighter, minimalist running shoes?

I have Nike Frees and I really, really like them. The arches are a little high, but other than that, I'm all set.

Never tried minimalist shoes, but I've heard good things! Not every week can be a winner - just more motivation to catch up next week. Sounds like you had a fun weekend though!

I'm always so impressed when people can order running shoes online. I feel like it's ballsy :) I hope they work perfectly for you! I had a lazy week last week too as you know....we'll be better this week.

I LOVE my Saucony Kinvaras!! I'm ordering another pair right now!
I have ran my last 2 marathons in them!

I love my Kinvaras! I use them to "crosstrain" on short runs. I need to order a new pair soon!

I'm due for some new shoes too. Let me know how they work out for you.

I live for my Kinvara 2s! They totally changed my life. Everything else feels so bulky. Hooray for Kinvaras!
