spree day

Today is Spree Day at Clark University. This means that at 4:30 this morning we were serenaded by very drunk men outside of our window singing undecipherable songs, but mostly celebrating the "surprise" canceling of classes, in favor of playing on inflatables on the green, and listening to mediocre Clark bands all day while munching on sub-par cafeteria bbq food. Clearly something that can only be tolerated with an unhealthy amount of alcohol, which the students are well aware of. Either way, not really my jam playing with drunk students that I can't even tolerate when they're sober.

This morning my wonderful roommate and I got up around 8, ate breakfast in the room and then headed out on our OWN spree day, meaning that we drove around (and through a few too many yellow/red lights!) and did a little shopping. By this, I mean I went to the sneaker store!

Five pairs of shoes later at Sneakerama, and a little bit of help tying my shoes from the wonderfully looking male who selected sneakers for me, I walked out with a brand new pair of Nikes. At the very least, I'll look fast right?
They are also in the Nike+ series which makes me excited. Possibly after a summer full of running and working, I'll consider forking over the $59 for the sport band and sensor to track my miles and pace.

Kayla and I are headed out for a run soon, so I'll be sure to update about how fabulous my new shoes are, and now fast they make me run. My new friend at Sneakerama has informed me that if I don't like them, even if I use them, I can return them in 30 days and try a new pair, but I'm sure they'll work out, they're too pretty not to!


U P D A T E

With a little under two miles traveled in my new shoes, I think they are going to work out well. I had to loosen the laces a few times because they were hurting the outsides of my feet, but as Kayla said, the more I break them in, the better they will feel!
