I finally got to run in these babies today.

I was not looking for another pair of running shoes, but when you chat with an REI sales associate, casually ask about the additional 40% off select pairs of shoes, and he slaps a red sticker on the box for you, you cannot leave the store empty-handed.

As an aside, the runner’s high is a real thing. After who-knows-how-many attempts to *like* #running, I think it’s sticking this time.
