Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Today is an official rest day on my training schedule and you had better believe me, I am doing just that~resting.  I even took a short nap!  Shock and disbelief!

One thing kept me from nodding off for very long, that was the shipping confirmation I received this morning from Zappos.

I have never done business with Zappos before.  Of course, I had heard of them but not for sporting goods type of things.  Then a rumor reached me of a sale the were having on my fancy new running shoes!  I decided to check them out.

Sure enough.  If I downloaded their free app and ordered through the app, I saved $50.00 on a pair of those shoes.  I immediately talked to MFH.  He thought for a second and said I should order a pair.

See, I rotate my running shoes.  There is an article out today in Runner’s World that deals specifically with the some of the reasons I rotate my running shoes.  Here is the link:   http://www.runnersworld.com/injury-prevention-recovery/study-backs-rotating-shoes-to-lower-injury-risk?cm_mmc=Facebook-_-RunnersWorld-_-Content-News-_-RotatingShoesBetter

Not to belabor the point, but Zappos offered free overnight shipping and free return shipping if things did not work out how I wanted.  So, last night at 6:30 pm I placed my order.  About ten minutes ago, 1:30 pm, the UPS guy pulled into my driveway and delivered my new shoes.  I must say, I am a little impressed!

I am wearing the shoes around the house for a couple of hours to see if they will work and will take them on a test run in the morning.  Just to make sure.  All is well that ends well!
