I review my new Puma Faas 300 running shoes.

Here is an interview I gave about my new running shoes:

Q:  What color are your new shoes?
A:  They are sea foam blue, white and grey with a hint of lime green.




Q:  What do you like best about your new Puma Faas 300 running shoes?
A:  They are really light weight and don't look like the normal nerdy running shoe.


Q:  What do they feel like when you run in them?
A:  It is like wearing a really, really light weight running shoe.


Q:  What do you like second best about your new shoes?
A:  I like that they have a minimal lift.  Some running shoes can have up to an inch and a half lift and I prefer not to run in heels.


Q:  You sound like you are really knowledgeable on the topic.
A:  Well, I'm not.


Q:  Where do you get your knowledge about running shoes?
A:  From running in them and reading about them.


Q:  How many miles have you actually ran in these shoes?
A:  5 miles


Q:  So you really can't recommend these shoes for a marathon yet?
A:  Nope.


Q:  So after your training and actually running the marathon you could absolutely hate these shoes:
A:  Yes.


Q:  Good luck with that.
A:  Maybe we should do this again after my marathon.




I felt that by the end of the interview the interviewer got a little sassy with me and didn't really mean it when she wished me luck.

Here is where you can find more info about my new shoes.  They come in some really fun colors and each store I have found carry a different array of colors so you can get the one that suits you best.  I picked mine because they were the sale colors.  But who doesn't like sea foam?

Look forward to my next interview about being a running mom.  Should be a good one.

Don't panic, don't panic!!!

That's what I have to keep telling myself because I am still training for that marathon in October.
Well, attempting to train.
I am the worlds biggest procrastinator and since I have a natural ability to run I tend to procrastinate it. I really can't though because I want to do really well.
I am slowly getting better at it.
I take my girls in the stroller and they both love it.  I was going to go on my own last night but Eva really wanted to go and started to cry when I first told her no.  It wasn't the tantrum cry but it was the devastated, hurt feelings cry so I ended up taking them both.  Eva fell asleep and Scarlett babbled the whole time and would look up at me and smile.  I'm glad they came.  It takes me longer but it is more fun.
Here is what we look like when we run:


This picture was taken when the weather was a bit cooler.  
Just so you don't think I bundle Scarlett in 80 degree weather.

And, by the way, Eva is off the bink!!!!!
Yay!  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and we did it cold turkey!

p.s.
Has anyone seen the movie or play Noises Off?  It is one of my favorite movies but a lot of people don't get it or can't keep up with it because it is fast moving and lots of little bits of humor or they just don't find it funny.  Anyways, that's where the title comes from.  Do you like John Ritter, Michael Caine, Carol Burnett?  Do you want to see Christopher Reeve doing comedy (because he is good)?  Then see Noises Off and let me know what you think.
