Another trend is dominating my
twitter and Instagram timeline – it’s the funky range of Nike Free Runs! I must
say, usually I’m the sensible shopper, buying only the necessary. However,
someone once told me that if you’re constantly going back and forth deciding on
whether to buy the item or not, you should just buy it. That’s how I became the
happy owner of these beauties. I checked high and low at the different Nike
stores, compared prices and compared colours. I just could not give it up,
especially when these ‘tumblr girls’ or fitness models kept reminding me of how
pretty they look - a pure example of how the media can manipulate you into
buying the goods.
Guilty as charged, I found a
watermelon pink pair and it was even on sale. After all, their logo is “just do
it” so I couldn’t resist! It’s a pretty delicate sneaker, so I wouldn’t advise
doing mountain climbing or anything drastic of that sort. But it’s incredibly
light, so it would be perfect to tackle those 101 UCT stairs that I will be
climbing once again.
Hoping that this pretty pair will
get me back on the road - mastering that 10km in no time. Here’s to training in
style.
Witness the fitness.
