My Support

I did Zumba last night and I was having a hard time. I think it's my shoes. I was getting pains in my left ankle, and the arches of my feet were killing me. I wear Nike running shoes, so I"m thinking of getting some cross trainers. I started looking around and oh.my.goodness running/cross training shoes are so expensive. I mean, I have a shoe thing. I love my shoes. I love heels, flats, boots, sandals but workout shoes?? Those aren't exactly at the top of my want list. UNTIL NOW. I find myself evolving. Instead of buying designer jeans, or a beautiful dress, I want to buy Under Armor and other brands of workout clothes. (which by the way is not cheap) I look at sports bras and stretchy pants, even the type of socks I look at are "breathable workout" socks. LOL It's crazy I tell ya! So now, I am at that stage of wanting to invest in some fantastic shoes. I find these shoes to be even more important and more impressive than my stilettos. These shoes stand for strength, endurance, support. They represent my desire to achieve something that is before me. They give me confidence in the same  way my stilettos do, but this confidence is something that is rooted deep in me. It doesn't leave me once I take off my shoes.These shoes give me a sense of pride because I know that where I am going and what I am doing is good for my body, my mind and even my spirit. I know that I am setting a good example for my kids, I'm encouraging my husband and motivating him to do the same.
My perspective of these shoes has changed. They're expensive but worth every penny.
