Jack and I started off the day with some sing-a-long time at the Williston library. It was a lot of fun except for the mom crowd. They were a cross between Stepford Wives, Desperate Housewives and The Real Housewives of Orange County. I looked a little out of place with my Gravis sneakers and ponytail. The singer Raphael (or Raph or Giraffe) was great at getting all the kids involved. It's funny because at home Jack is an absolute wild man but in a public setting he is so shy. He was perfectly content to sit on my lap during the whole performance. My little snugglebug- I'm not complaining!
Had a "me" afternoon. Went to SkiRack and traded in the Mizunos. They have a 30 day return policy, even if they've been worn. The shoe specialist put me in Brooks Ravenna 2.
He wanted me to try Asics 2100 series but I've worn them before and I don't want something that heavy. I have never worn Brooks, but I've always associated them with being a heavy shoe (probably not true). He said the Ravenna is .1 ounce heavier than the Wave Inspire.
I ran on the treadmill at the store and had no ankle problems. They hit much lower than the Mizuno pair. I can't wait to test them out!
After I headed to Mirror Mirror for girly stuff, like makeup. My routine (i.e. no routine) needed sprucing up.
Bodypump tonight- wore the heart rate monitor. High of 154 and it said I burned 325 calories. The HR spikes came during squats and lunges (no big surprise).
I LOVE the Brooks Ravenna 2's. I have run in Ravenna's for quite a while now. THey are only 9 ounces and are awesome for speed work and long long runs. I have done two marathons in them and just love them. :) I hope they work for you!
