However, after consulting with a good colleague at Road Runner Sports in San Diego, she suggested the Men’s Nike Zoom Vomero+ 4.  Because of the extra focus on cushioning (which is best for the long walk) and the good look of them, I decided to make those the shoes to wear.  Basically, I got the best shoes possible by shopping at RRS online – they provide so much information that the shopping part is easy.  Thank you Road Runner.

I can’t wait to get them this week and start breaking them in - Just in time for the Avon Walk September 12-13, 2009.

We have three weeks and two days until the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  We want our team to beat the $50,000 goal that has been set and we want to raise all the awareness we can.  Please help us in this endeavor.
