new shoes, new routine

Finally got to break in my new running shoes this morning! Here they are in all their shining shimmering glory:

babies

oooout.


Got them on sale the other day for half off. It was the last pair they had in my size. Aren't they beauteous? They're a tad lighter than my missing pair of Adidas Climacools (God knows where they are) and are just as breezy. The neon color's just fantastic; I love how it's both flashy and subtle at the same time. All in all a good buy, in my opinion!

Went for a quick run this morning after dropping my grandfather off at Tomas Morato. Went straight to UP, prepped up and did a few stretches, and we were off by 6:30. My boyfriend, who jogged with me, only managed to do an easy 4k since his knee started acting up again. It was cold and the air was slightly thin, and his knee hurts faster with that kind of weather. I, on the other hand, ran a good 7k and it felt, well, good.

I'm planning on making this my new routine from now on, this whole jogging-early-in-the-morning thing. The streets are still relatively smog-free and there are less people. Also, it's a great starter-upper especially if you know you've got numerous meetings with Mr. Stress throughout the day. Hopefully this keeps up!
