Say 'Hi' to my new walking/jogging partner.. the New Balance 767 For the Cure Running shoe. I'm getting serious people! I have been walking 3 times a week for a couple weeks now. And I plan to do so till I can jog for te 5K challenge next month. So Mr. Rojo has been pushing me to check my feet and look for a new pair of shoes that has better support. I got to admit my old pair is probably more than 7 years old. Plus I don't even know if it's the tennis shoes, training shoes or walking shoes. My only concern at that time was.. was it on sale!
I guess after living with me for so long my frugality has rubbed in on Mr. Rojo. He found 20% off coupon from Sport Authority. So we headed there today and checked out if I can find any shoes in my price range. I'm all for better shoes to protect my ever-changing knees. But I don't want to spend a fortune for that either.
When we got there it was like a mad house. Too busy but I found 2 NB shoes (767 and 768 models). Those 2 are pretty good with stability control for people who pronate (ok.. I haven't heard this word before we start running.. From what I understand it's the way you walk inward). Anyway, the best part is the 767 is on sale for 50% off from $89.99 to $49.99. So with additional 20% off I paid only $40 and changes.. Oh..yeah!! And another good part is this model is part of the Lace Up for The Cure. So part of the proceed will benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation.
I have to say though.. I thought getting better shoes might make me run faster.. I guess that's not the case. hehe..

What a deal! Good luck training for the 5k. It's good to have a goal out there to aim for.
Great bargain shopping! Gotta have the right tools.
I love sales, I'll buy stuff I don't need just because it's on sale - I have to hide my bags before my husband comes home from work and pretend I ALWAYS HAD THOSE PANTS, SILLY!
Anyway, good luck honey, you'll do great!
