Pessimist or Realist…

September 25, 2009 By: Runner Leana

We’ve had some record high temperatures here these last few days, but here in Calgary we all know what is coming.  I don’t want to be the first one to mention the four letter word…S…N…O…W…  (Seriously though, it has been 30+C these last few days, although that is going to change soon.)

So I’ve been prepping by picking up a new pair of winter boots, but I’m not sure which pair to keep.  I’m leaning towards the one on the left since I feel like I’m missing some skinny jeans or leggings, a big puffy coat and a trip to Vail with some hot celebrity to go with the furry boots.  Any thoughts?DSCN1514

Workouts have been happening this week too, just nothing too much to write about.  A 45 minute run with strides yesterday.  A swim that I had to cut short due to time constraints this morning.  Tomorrow?  A short taper run, then the Melissa’s 10K on Saturday!  Have a great weekend all!

    I just started reading your blog – I followed a link to your blog about the sport bra review for moving comfort that you did. I love the boots! I would probably go for the ones on the left too but the ones with the fur are cute!

    Oh, I like the ones with the far! Must be strange to be shopping for boots when it’s 30C!

    Have a great weekend and good luck at the 10K.

    I forwarded my request for light snow only this year to the proper authorities. We’ll see how it goes 🙂

    Definitely go for the ones on the left. The furry ones are a little more “high maintenance” than they are “tough chick training for an Ironman”

    hey there! 🙂 Ok, looks like I am checking in today on a VERY hot topic – which boot to wear. HAHA….the ones on the left – I like the simplier ones (darker browns). Have fun! Good luck @ the 10k!

    Ok, normally I’m all about boots like those on the left. BUT for some reason I am seriously digging the ones on the right!!!

    Bonus: My new pedals are going to be $100 cheaper than I expected. Sables are coming home 🙂 Thanks for the input!

    HOLD THE PRESSES!! Did you say, What boots to keep? Does this mean you are going to get rid of your other boots???? Because I LURVE the boots on the right — nobody else seems to, but WOWZER I think they are smoking!!

    If you are getting rid of them — maybe we could do an exchange/moolah swap? What size of shoe do you wear?

    Am I terrible for asking this? LOL!!

    Seriously — I like both pairs of boots — both are two totally different looks, so I guess, your pick should be the one that suits your style the most. 🙂 🙂

    I love both pairs, but I would likely go with the Hollywood high maintenance pair… 🙂

    I love ’em both. EVen the fury ones, but you might be right. I don’t think I could pull those off… go with the ones on the left!

    hope the 10k went well!!! i love both pairs of boots, but i think i’d be a little too self-conscious in the furry ones myself.

    I’d keep both. It is a loooong winter up here and you deserve fabulous boots. I recently splurged on 2 pair myself 🙂
