Nothing Seems to be Working

I think a big part of it is my lack of motivation, but with 2 new exciting things in the mix, I'm hoping to jump-start that again.

Motivational Item #1: New running shoes!

As I was running the other day at the wellness center, I realized that the shoes I was wearing (a.k.a. my "new" shoes) were in fact almost 1 1/2 years old! I purchased them about a month before the big Mackinac Island 8 Mile Race in September 2009, and have since gone in numerous spurts of activity/inactivity since then. It was time for new shoes!

A couple weekends ago, I tried a few pair on at Scheel's and ended up settling on these puppies:


Unfortunately, though, they were SPENDY, and I was trying to keep it under $100, so I didn't buy them just then. I went home and found last-year's model for $90 and ordered it instead! They should be here any day!

Motivational Item #2: Zumba!

After hearing all about this big fad and not having any classes remotely near me, I decided to go ahead and order the starter kit when I saw the infomercial on TV Saturday morning. I'm hoping my order will be here within the next week or so and that I can get started! My sister-in-law just got her certification to teach, and my other sister-in-law jumped on board a while back. It looks like a TON of fun, and I'm really looking forward to it!!
