Today is the day.

I will run in my new running shoes for the first time. I will miss my Tiffany shoes, which made me feel cool walking around the gym, and I will still wear them around, but my feet have started to hurt after running in them, and since I have used them for the gym for ten months, I am guessing they are just no longer giving me the support I need.  I went with a shoe I had bought at a running store a couple of years ago, but was on sale online. I used tons of codes and coupons to get a great deal. I put them on, and they feel comfy so today will be my first run in them.

Below is the post from when I purchased my now retired Tiffany shoes.

Rodeo Drive, Ca

I remember hearing about Rodeo Drive as a kid. It has always been pictured in my mind as a very special place full of expensive stores and boutiques with large windows and the items inside the windows would cost too much to even consider buying.

Sarah and I ventured to the famed part of Hollywood on her last night in LA. We strolled into the familiar stores we know and love. Mine included the teal colored boxes, and Sarah’s included almost any kind of store with fancy handbags.  We walked up and down the actual Drive and many stores were not open on a Sunday night, but the chain stores were. Unfortunately,  these were all stores we could have and did visit on Michigan Avenue many times. Sarah found a gift she would like, and I bought it for here now, because having an actual item from Rodeo Drive seemed cooler than from just any name brand store. Like a kid on Christmas morning, she and her new gift were inseparable the rest of her time here. I dropped her at the airport, still clutching it, which made me smile.

In the Nike store, I purchased a pair of new workout shoes in the cool teal color which adorned the store I truly love items from. This was my nod to the beautiful stores on Rodeo Drive. The gel inside the shoes made them even more appealing to me. For me these shoes were my splurge on the grand Rodeo Drive, so no matter how many times Sarah made me swear I would not wear them outside the gym, she never made the correlation between my love for the store which prompted the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” where every treasure is sent out in a teal box, with my treasured new shoes. The treasures I saw in the store were definitely pricey for me, and the shoes were something I truly needed, so I combined my two loves and I am now the proud owner of a pair of super comfy shoes I vowed to never wear outside the gym!
