Yay for Packages!

I had two packages waiting for me today - my lovely running shoes and the water bottles I finally got around to ordering. As you can see, I went with Earthlust's Poppy bottle. It was my favorite design, made out of steel and unlike Sigg's bottles, doesn't have a proprietary lining that may leak chemicals. And I decided to surprise Andrew with one, since they will be used during our mutual workouts. I went with a simple klean kanteen design for him (although signs and company names that are misspelt deliberately for alliteration - when they can be spelt correctly and still achieve alliteration - are definitely one of my pet peeves).



Now we can go to the gym together while reducing our carbon impact - which really makes us sound like granola-crunchy people.

Officially My Shoes

Just a quick update to let you know - I got the shoes!

Well, I just ordered them and they'll probably arrive next week.

Best thing is that I found them for the same price that DSW was selling them for ($59.99) and found an additional 20% coupon to use on them.

That's the best piece of advice I can give you - before buying ANYTHING online, always do a Google search for the retailer's name and the word "coupon".

Meet My New Running Shoes

I fell in love with them at DSW. Unfortunately, all DSW had was THREE boxes of size 6 and I wear a 7.5. When I arrived home, I checked the DSW site and they were still out of my size. Zappos has them for ten dollars more, so I may just suck it up and pay the full price. Except I just realized that there's an online DSW coupon for another $10 off with a purchase over $50. That's a $20 difference! I think I may be visiting a few more DSW's in my area.




They appear darker gray in person and I love the gray and green combo. Actually, they look very similar in coloring to my current gym shoes, a pair of Nikes. But those are starting to get worn out (no cushioning left) and it's out with the old, in with the new.
