He's Like A Tiger

A few months ago, at the Asheville Arthritis 5K, Leopold won a $50 gift certificate to the local running store. Sweet! With it, he purchased a pair of women's Nike Waffle Jana's (this is a spikeless Cross Country shoe - basically a very minimalist racing flat). It was his money, so I let him get what he wanted, which turned out to be a good thing. He loves them! He says they're the most comfortable running shoe he's ever had.

Since the Jana's are about dead, we went online last night to see what was available in a Women's size 6 spikeless XC shoe for him. We ended up ordering the Asics Attack XC Spikeless.


Check these out:




Even better than what they look like? The price. As a discontinued shoe, we got them for $10.97. That's right - One. zero. dot. nine. seven.

Buying shoes online: $10.97

Looking like a Tiger: Priceless.

    Wow. I wonder what the odds are that I'll be able to purchase my next pair of trainers for something less than three digits (before the period!). Probably not good :-)
