Pumped-up Kicks

I have that song in my head "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my....."

But it's only fitting because today, I got some new shoes!!!

 Aren't they purty?  The best part - I wore them on my 5-mile run tonight and they felt AWESOME.  I don't own a single piece of yellow workout gear, but I really don't care if my shoes match or not.   I'm digging the black laces.

These are the same shoes I had been using, only in a 'new' color.  It was time to upgrade since my old shoes just broke the 450 mile mark.  I'll keep those on hand for rainy days, then retire them to the "yard shoe" pile. 

These are Mizuno Wave Nirvana 7s - I have been running in Mizunos since the year 2000.  Seriously.  I bought them from Running Warehouse (not an affiliate link) vs. my local running store because they had them on sale and I found a 10% off code at SkinnyRunner.  I also plan to keep my eye out for good prices at the Brooksie Way and Detroit race expos - can't hurt to find a good deal on some running shoes!
