So, I'm the kind of girl that likes to check my horoscope from time to time and buys books like The Secret Language of Relationships and What Color is your Aura?. Both of which are quite insightful with the a glass of wine in hand. I know its silly, but what if its true- what if the horoscopes do have it right (sometimes)? This is the sole reason why I like to take a quick gander here and there... because sometimes it will give you the needed ego boost to possibly make the horoscope accurate- I think its all about the attitude.
Today was one of those days... hey everyone needs a mid-week boost!
Capricorn
Suddenly you seem more glamorous than usual, Capricorn. You may exert a mysterious appeal that in the 1920s was called "it." Current and potential love partners may take a second look and be intrigued. Don't be surprised if you attract admiring glances from strangers! This could make a big difference in your love life. Lovers you encounter today should continue to see something in you for a long time. Make the most of "it"!
Thank you http://www.horoscope.com/ you've made my day. Let's see if any of it comes true... I wonder if I really do have an "it" factor today? :) If not, why not fake it?

My Magic Shoes
I've had the same running shoes for entirely too long - I've loved them for about 3 years. Everytime I'd step out on the street or on the tredmill my knees would immediately start to hurt. I decided to put the feelers out there on Facebook to see if anyone had any good shoe recommendations, they were all over the map, New Balance, Asics, Adidas, but then there was this one pair that had come up a few times... Mizuno's. I'd never heard of them. So since I couldn't decide between all the recommendations I had received. It was time to call in the big guns-Philadelphia Runner. This store is AMAZING! They fit you for the perfect shoe for your foot. I figured if they couldn't give me the perfect pair, then I just wasn't destined to be a runner. I'd just stick to Bikram Yoga at my favorite local studio - not a bad alternative since its my favorite form of exercise but unfortunately, I can't do it everywhere. On a rainy afternoon, I went over to Philadelphia Runner and a very helpful girl fitted me and her first and only recommendation was for a pair of Mizunos! The moment I put them on, I knew I'd fallin' in love. They were perfect, light, great arch support. I couldn't have asked for more. She told me they were the best one's for my foot and said they would make me run like the wind. I laughed and asked her if they were Magic Shoes! She said yes and that I would love them. And after my first run, I was hooked! No knee pain, blisters or new shoe discomfort, I fell into a great stride immediately. The second time I wore them, I ran 3.5 miles at a 9:17min/mile pace. This may be slow for some, but for me, this was running hard- but didn't realize my pace until after I finished- thanks to my Nike +ipod- which I'm also in love with! I'm usually a 10/10:30 min mile runner, so to run 9:17, I must have been bookin' it! But my Mizuno's left me feeling weightless and able to run like the wind.
So I've decided that Mizuno's might actually be Magic Shoes! I recommend them to all! Check out my pair below!
My recent favorite running pump up song- sometimes you just need to stick to the classics :)
