Just got a delivery from Amazon.com: My new running shoes!!!  Yay!  After much research and countless hours chatting with other runners, I decided to order these ASICS Women’s GT 2160 Running Shoes.  I tried them on and they feel fantastic, but of course, the real test will be when I take these bad girls outside tomorrow for a real test run… on a real road… for an actual run, uh yeah…

As you can see, I got them in the snazzy white, teal and orange color.  And since is the first time I’ve ever owned ASICS shoes, I am really anxious to see how these will work out for me.  I’ve always been a “Nikey” girl in the sense that every pair of athletic shoes I’ve ever owned up until this point in my life have been Nike.  Sure, I feel a bit sad about my loss of loyalty to the brand I’ve worn since high school, but I guess as I get older and learn more, my needs have changed.  But that certainly doesn’t mean I won’t buy Nike products in the future.

I’ll report back in a few days on how these new shoes worked out.  Wish me luck!
