Newtons

Listen, I'm trying to become a real runner so I've got to have the proper gear. I heard that the shoe company Newton was the best for beginners so I researched where to buy them around here. There is a running store on 37 that was locally owned and had these in stock so we headed over. The manager of Runner's Forum was really helpful and nice. I ended up with this colorful pair because they were lightweight and fun. Their price? A cool $175. Yes, you read that correctly. We almost passed out. I kept saying that I better be able to run like Forrest Gump in them. I can't. Yet. They are nice shoes, though. I tried them out at the gym tonight and did quite well considering that my head was pounding from a nasty caffeine withdrawal side effect. I think they'll be a good piece of equipment to have around when I start really putting in the miles to train for the Mini.
