My tryst with fitness continues…


I started dedicated exercises. But there was still a big big hiccup in my dream. I lacked sports shoes!! Unimaginable for some. Yes, I did get a lot of laughs.😀

I started with the closed shoes that I had, but it had to be sports shoes. A simple task, anyone would say. Not for me, no. Simply because I had never worn sports shoes and I had no idea what to look for!!! I have a problem with closed shoes. Imagine my mortification when I was told that sports shoes are the only acceptable gear for a gym.

I scoured many brands. Asked questions. I wanted a pair that was comfortable, suited my needs and was kind on my pocket (most important). I managed to get just the pair a few trips later. Voila!

How many steps I walked wearing different pairs, how I fretted over the shoe heels and colour (gone are the days of simple choices of black, grey and white), how many mirrors I preened into, how many times my eyes popped hearing the price of a shoe (shoes don’t even have resale value!!)!! 

Well, there is a first time for everything!!
