new shoes
I’ve finally pushed the boat out and bought a new pair of runners. Hooray.
My cunning business brain noticed Amart allsports were selling Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 for $10 cheaper than Rebel Sports. So I trooped into Rebel in QV on Tuesday arvo and walked out 10 minutes later with a new pair under my arms, taking advantage of RS’ 10% off competitor’s price thingy.
I felt pretty pleased with myself, as you might expect. In fact, I have a notion I may have actually said “Gotcha!!!!” to the sales girl in the shop. My gloating demeanour may have backfired slightly though. I don’t think she was too pleased. She flat-out refused to give me the red version, citing some extremely dubious fine-print.
Petty, I call it.
But there you go - a new pair of shoes. They’re damn ugly. Boring, blue, grey, white. Ho hum.
But they’re pretty comfortable; unlike most Brooks shoes I’ve run in, they actually have some sort of cushioning. Must be the “Mogo“, I guess.
I wonder who came up with that name? It’s one of the more dorky things I’ve ever heard.
Joke
Speaking of dorky things. How about this for a joke:
Q: At a monster party, who’s the best dancer?
A: The boogie monster
My god, I am so turning into my Dad. I might as well go the whole hog: buy a checked shirt and loafers and take up golf.
Running
18.something ks yesterday arvo in the new shoes. About 5min/k pace. Ho hum.

Mmm, those *are* pretty ordinary looking shoes, but then once you have done a couple of hundred clicks in them, all shoes look grey and ugly anyway. At least you didn’t have to face the perennial problem for us chicks of struggling to find shoes that aren’t PINK.
yeah, and you haven’t seen the backside of them (the shoes, that is)
I’d actually prefer some pink shoes. I’m very secure in my masculinity, or something.
I got the GTS7 too- gotta love the extra mogo in my run now! I have a hot pink pair if you want to borrow them.
