Soccer & Shoes

I am officially a soccer mom!  Today, Brian and I went to our local fitness center and signed up Tali for soccer!  I am so excited and so is she.  We even got her a cute pink soccer ball.  Her soccer will start mid-April.  She won't be three until May, but we were able to get permission from the person in charge of it.  I cannot wait to see her "play."  She'll probably just stand around or something, but that's okay.  We are all so excited!

Recently, I signed up to run my first 5K.  This is HUGE for me.  I haven't really been much of a runner, but I do enjoy it.  For some reason, it helps me clear my head and it is a big stress reliever.  One of my friends in my ward posted on Facebook that she was doing a local run that was free and since I've been thinking about doing a 5K for quite some time I figured this would be a great motivator to do it.  The only problem was, the running shoes I did have weren't really all that great.  So, I bought some new ones!  When I went in to buy some running shoes, the place I went had me run on the treadmill to see how my feet hit the ground.  I guess that also helps them better to recommend shoes to their customers.  The woman that was helping me said that I had really good form when I ran which I thought was pretty awesome!  Now I have new running shoes!  Just in time for my 5K too.  Here are the exact shoes that I bought!
I LOVE THEM!!!!  They are so incredibly comfortable to walk/run in!  Now I can't wait to go running in them!
