Run free...

It's that time of year to put on your running shoes and go!  My absolute favorite running shoes are the Nike Free.  They are perfect for the novice runner just looking to have fun and stay in shape.
 

NIKE FREE RUN+ 3

And the best incentive for motivation is to register for an organized race and train with a friend.  I've decided this year to participate in the Electric Run!  Looks like fun...and not your ordinary race!
