A Little Retail Therapy

I love shopping, and sporting good stores are no exception. I can drool over a pair of Nikes like most other women drool over Manolos. While I would cringe at dropping anything more than $50 or $60 for any of my other pairs of shoes, no price can come between me and a good pair of running shoes. This being said, I made a pilgrimmage to Dicks with the family this week in search of a new pair of shoes and some solution for carrying water with me on long runs.

I walked out of there with a bag full of running gadgets.

I can't help it. I'm like a kid in a candy store. I had to have the Curvyman headphone cord wrapper upper thingy. Along with getting dehydrated on the long runs, I need to figure out the fueling issue as well, so I helped myself to an assortment of Clif and Gu fruit chews. I'm still holding out hope that my daughter will magically start sleeping in until 9:00am so that I can go on early morning runs before she wakes up, so I got an LED light armband. It took a load of restraint not to walk out of the store with the whole display case with all it little running gadgets and gizmos, so really, I was showing a great deal of restraint just getting those few things.

And I even remembered the shoes and water bottle!!
