Well, I am feeling better today. I don't get my hair cut & colored that often cause it does cost a bit of $$ for us women! So, yesterday after many many many weeks too many, I got the gray covered & the hair trimmed up. It feels so good! Come on ladies, you know how good you feel after getting your hair done & I never can dry it the way they do! Men, I know you are rolling your eyes! If you were like my hubby, you would just shake your head YES & agree with everything I say... especially during these hormone stages! 
So, I have been meaning to write this post for a while now & just never got to it. OH NO! We all have the need for new running/walking/trail/cross training shoes and more. Exercise clothes always help along with socks & many other accessories.
I have been buying my shoes from RoadRunner Sports for a while now. The reason: I joined their VIP club which has the "Perfect Fit Guarantee, you can run in your shoes RISK-FREE for 60 days. If they're not a perfect fit, simply exchange them for a different pair. No questions asked." Many of you may not need this but it has served me well. I have very hard feet to fit. Not only are they flat & wide BUT I have bunions on both feet. Also, the older I get, the worse my feet get if that is even possible! I have found that even if I buy the exact same pair of shoes, they may not fit the same due to either my feet OR the manufacturing process of the shoes. I am also a person that can actually wear a shoe for 3 weeks to a 1 month before I really realize it is not right for me. I think this is more due to all my feet probs!
Now, you may not be like me but the VIP club also offers up this: Get FREE SHIPPING & 10% OFF!* Plus, BEST PRICE GUARANTEED!
Reap the rewards of your VIP benefits:
In addition to shoes of all kinds, they also sell, socks, water bottles, clothes, heart rate monitors & much more. Check out their site here: RoadRunner Sports.
Just so you know, I have not been contacted by RoadRunner Sports nor am I being paid to do this. It is just a place I buy shoes & this VIP Club I joined has really helped me out, shoe wise. Their sales are great too for the VIP club members!
As you look through the site, do check out the reviews by people on the VIP club. Some did not find it worth their money because they do not buy enough items in a year. Others wanted to cancel & had trouble but on the whole, most had good reviews.
Hope this helps some of you!

I've never heard of this site before so I MUST check it out! I'm pretty random when it comes to where I shop for workout clothes. Sometimes is Dicks Sporting Goods other times it's Athleta and other times it's Target!

Woah Jody, for a second there I thought you started working for Roadrunner or somethin'
You should ask them for a 6 figure salary, since I think you'd help them sell a shit load of shoes.
Jody - Feet at 52
What do ya think?
P.S- Big ups for the mention. You're too awesome. Stop being so awesome... like tone it down a bit so the rest of us can keep up, you know?

FJ, man, I should send this link to them!!!
You are too kind. Awesome, I will take it. I don't get called that very often!

Whoohoo! Thanks Jody! Can't wait to try it out!!!!!!!!!!
I know what I'll be spending my afternoon doing-checkin' out. Yikes, hope I don't end up buying too much...
I have a store similar to the one you were talking about where they analyze your foot and watch you run called Running Wild. They helped me find the right shoe that fits my style (so I don't get shin splints!)

Amanda, such a biggie for me to be able to return with my feet. They are bad!!! I don't abuse it BUT it has helped!

Congrats on the new do! You deserve it girl...and yes, it IS a good feeling, I don't care who ya are!
I've never heard of that site, but I will check them out for my future needs. I just bought a new pair of Nike's which should be good enough for me for now since I'm just now starting to incorporate jogging and running. I would absolutely LOVE to be fitted for a pair though. My right foot is bigger than my left so that makes it difficult finding a comfy pair.

Josie.. thx! So good to get the hair trimmed up.. it was going crazy!!!!
Congrats on your new shoes! Enjoy! Are those the right words for pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone!

I was just analyzed and bought two pairs at 26.2 Running Company. Love my shoes. No need to break them in. Again, love my shoes.
We are on a budget, but the extra money for quality shoes to relieve pain and prevent problems is worth it.
Did you know quality shoes have different materials that make up the mechanics and support system of the shoe whereas in cheaper shoes, the support system is painted on; it's all the same cheap material but just painted to look like the real thing?

Gina, yahoo for new shoes! YES. so important to get good shoes for your workouts & ones that are for the activity you are actually doing!
Thx for your last tip!

I usually get my shoes from the chain chain sporting goods store. I tend to like Nike the best so that's what I stick with. It is so important to have shoes that fit and are fresh. The running shoes seem to get tired so fast!
Reply to this
Diane, yes, so important to have shoes that fit & match what you are doing. I have a lot of friends that love their Nikes but Nike does not have a shoe that works with my crazy feet!
Yup, I wear my shoes into the ground pretty fast!

I got my new shoes at Fleet Feet. They were very helpful and said if I have any issues after running in them for awhile I could take them back and try something else. Pretty cool
And tons of people mentioned roadrunners on my post the other day. I may have to check them out.
Have a great weekend!

I commented on your Fleet Feet post. You get soooooooooo many comments that I did not even notice others knew about RRS. Too funny! I have had this post ready to go for a few days now. LOve that!

But I never win ANYTHING!
Holy sh*t... you rock, Jody!

You are a winner in way more than the Stevia way!

Shoes - the most important to me. Very early on in my weight loss and journey to better health, someone suggested that I go to a specialty running store and be fitted for shoes. GREAT SUGGESTION that made a huge difference. They watched me walk and run and then we tried lots of different styles. Greg @ Phidippides in Atlanta is my trusted sole!

Sara, thx for the tip for the Atlanta folks!
And like you, my feet are so bad that shoes & good shoes are soooo important!
