Gym Day and New Shoes

I went to the gym and did all the machines.  Well, not all, but enough to feel sore now.  And I bought some new shoes.  Aetrex brand.  Every hear of them?  I hadn't until yesterday.  I went to the Cobbler Shop in SCF to try on a pair of KSwiss which is what Mom has for walking and loves.  I did try some on but then tried on this pair of Aetrex.  What a difference.  Really comfortable from minute one and even without my orthotics which I am going to try to get away from and see how it goes.  So I went back and bought them today.  $113 so I better like them!  I'm wearing them today to break them in and will try a 3 mile run in them tomorrow morning.  At this point I think they're the most comfortable show I've ever put on.  We'll see.

There was a man at the gym who looked to be 75 or so lifting weights.  Holy cow!  I couldn't believe what he was doing!  I skipped my two weight lifting exercises this morning because I didn't even want to be on that side of the gym for him to see how weak I am by comparison.  He was very impressive.

I bet you'll get to know that old guy someday. I wonder how long he's been lifting weights. A long time, I bet!

I'm not familiar with those shoes but I am going to look them up. I love squishy shoes!
