You may recall that my running stalled the last couple months due to illness (boooo).  I'm finally easing my way back in; I spent much of November walking on the treadmill (cold weather!), doing yoga and Pilates, and even taking a Spinning class or two more recently. It's felt good to get moving again, but I didn't want to dive in head-first.  I did go to one BODYPUMP class, but my back hurt for a week after.  So... not heading back there until maybe later in December. For now, I've been enjoying simple movement, bodyweight work, and cycling--easier on the joints.
Speaking of easy on the joints, let's talk CUSHIONING... 

There's a new sneaker on the market, and it is nice.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it out myself (still in recovery, anyhow), but Eric did, courtesy of the kind folks at Saucony.

Hey all! Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend! I was fortunate to spend my weekend down the shore with friends, relaxing, reading, playing games, doing beach yoga, and enjoying good food and company.  My great weekend got off to an early start on Thursday, when the coolest thing happened...

So... Reebok sent me their smokin' hot new running sneakers.


They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Need I even write a review?

Alright, alright.  Runners and trainers alike know not to judge a shoe by its... cover.  I've tried pretty shoes before (even pretty Reebok ones) that simply didn't work for my feet.  Good looks aren't enough; you've got to test it out!  Take it out of the box, stop drooling, and lace up.
