So I was out and about yesterday evening, and I found these shoes:
marked down from $120 to $70. And the green looks SUPER pretty in real life, very girly. Would have been stupid not to buy them, really.
I figured out what's up with my right knee. I have shin splits from running in tired shoes/weighing 10lbs more. The pain was radiating up into my knee earlier in the week. So now I am using the stick
along the shin. Except I use a dowel that I got at Michael's for under $5. Same thing except it's wood. Hurts like the bejeezus, but does the job. I am pretty sure i can run on Saturday.
Come on summer. Here boy. You can do it, come on...that's a good boy...
What do you do with your old running/athletic shoes? Other people/the environment can use them, you know. I am going to send three pair to:
he Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program recycles all brands of athletic shoes to create premium sport surfaces such as soccer pitches, football fields, tracks, basketball courts and tennis courts. To find out how you can recycle your shoes at a collection location near you, visit www.nikereuseashoe.com. If there is not a location nearby, you may also recycle shoes by mailing them, at your own expense, directly to Nike. Please note that we cannot accept non-athletic shoes or athletic shoes containing any metal parts.
Nike Recycling Center

Once at the Nike Recycling Center, shoes are ground up into a material called Nike Grind, which is used in sports surfaces donated to communities across the country. The Reuse-A-Shoe sports surface donation project is part of NikeGO, a grassroots community affairs program with a mission to increase physical activity in youth by offering children 8-15 the motivation to discover the joy of movement and the fun of physical activity. For more information on Nike's environmental programs and policies, please visit Corporate Responsibility.
Thanks again for your interest in Nike Reuse-A-Shoe, and for helping to get your old shoes back in the game.
The programs that take shoes to Haiti or Africa weren't collecting now, at least the sites I looked at. This is the page I found:

Now go give.
