My 5K Goal

This past summer I've been trying to be more active. Rodney and I go for walks around town, I've been getting on the treadmill more regularly and Jillian Michaels has been kicking my arse via DVD. But I still needed a goal and watching the scale just makes me angry so I decided to quit checking and focus on a fitness goal. A 5K at the end of October. To accomplish this goal I bought these awesome new shoes! I've had knee problems for ages and after a lot of reading I decided to give these weird looking things a shot. I LOVE them!!! I haven't had any knee pain since I've started using them which is beyond amazing. Thanks to these sexy things I managed to run 1.25 miles last night without slowing down to walk. I have NEVER EVER done that! Look out Mantua 5K!!

One of the guys that helped Steve film one of his short films this summer had these shoes. He said they were the most comfortable shoes he'd ever worn and they made him feel like he was barefoot. Good luck on your 5K! You're better than me...I hate running.
