I admit it. I sort of let myself go these past 6 months since I gave birth. Now, I am reaping the sorrows of my laziness. I went to the dentist and found out that I had an incredible amount of cavities not to mention gingivitis. I went to the dermatologist to have my post-preggy warts cauterized. Last but not least I signed up for the gym.
I had already been walking slash jogging around the park when I bring baby J out in the afternoon. However I noticed that my feet were hurting from the pounding and decided to walk. Still didn’t feel good then realized that my running shoes were over 2 years old and the rubber was probably not as good anymore. That’s when I decided to do a little research on the latest running slash cross-training shoes available.
It was good timing that Nike came out with the Nike Sister One shoes in such cute colors. I admit I am hesitant to even try purchasing Nikes since my last two pairs of running shoes were New Balance and Adidas. Unfortunately I am a sucker for advertising. I did a lot of online research and browsed the malls. This pair was definitely going to put a dent in my wallet but I didn’t want to have any excuse not to regularly go to the gym so I splurged.
I really wanted the fuschia colored pair but turns out that was the first color they came out with. Now there’s like silver, purple and even orange! No way was I getting orange since my last pair was orange. Silver seemed so blah so I went for the purple kicks and am quite happy.
I tried them out at the gym today and they were lightweight but able to cushion my feet as I did my time on the treadmill. They were also able to support me as I did my weights and machines routine. My previous running shoes were quite cumbersome and I like the fact that these Nikes allowed my feet to better grip the floor.
I actually can’t wait to try them out in some group exercises. So, I’d better check the group x schedules of Fitness First.
