What do runners do when it's raining too much for a long run? They go to a running store or two and buy new shoes, an IT band strap, and new running threads. Well, at least that's what we did today. With a long run planned for this morning, another jaunt around the lakes of Baton Rouge, we were disappointed to wake to a cold drizzle, which quickly turned into downpours throughout the day. We first visited Varsity Sports, a local running shop. After hemming and hawing over whether I should buy some new road running shoes, I finally caved and got a new pair of Brooks PureFlow for my 3M half marathon training and more frequent road runs. After a stop at the Louisiana Science Museum, we made our way to the outlets for a spin around the Nike Factory Store, where I bought a new pair of long running pants for the upcoming cold. While all of the new gear made the lack of running today just that much more irritating, it also upped the excitement for a long Sunday run.
