Wednesday: Army & Navy shoe sale!! My FFB and BFF Solo Lisa has gushed about this legendary sale for the last couple years so my curiosity overcame me and I finally got the chance to go with her to this sale. Army & Navy is a giant multi-level emporium of, well, everything! Once a year they host a huge sale of discounted shoes from various unknown sources and believe me when I say it is CRAZY!
Check out all these shoe addicts!! People were literally digging through piles on the floor and I am unashamed to admit I was among them.
My fellow brave shoppers
This weary bargain bandit only came away with 3 pairs (the black pair were my friend's)! Sadly, many of shoes were too large for my teeny size 5 feet.Previous Sunday: Vancouver Sun Run!! I have been training on my office team the past few months for the annual 10k Sun Run. The Sun Run is a huge race that happens every April in Vancouver, and this year was the biggest yet with I believe an estimated 58,000+ people racing through the streets of downtown Vancouver. It is a beautiful run that starts in the heart of downtown, travels through gorgeous Stanley Park, and meanders along the waterfront before ending at BC Place, which will be the home of the opening and closing ceremonies for the winter Olympics next year!! I was very surprised that I didn't have to be peeled off the pavement after the race, but 10k wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! In fact, it was an utterly exhilarating experience to run with so many people and in such a beautiful city as Vancouver - definitely doing it next year!
Team Running!! (Yes, our team name was not the most original). I also am always surprised by how short I am in photos!
Team huddle before the raceAnd now, victory!!!

looks like you had fun at the shoe sale! i'm so glad! and awesome job doing the sun run! i always tell myself i'll do it but i'm always too busy to train......
Looks like you had an awesome week! Love the shoe sale pictures. And I can't believe you have such Cinderella feet! You're lucky! There are so many sale shoes in your size!
Wow you've been busy! Thank you for the comment :) Haha mad sales are always pretty stressful - at least you emerged victorious with 3 pairs xoxo
That shoe event looks out of control. Looks like you got nice stuff though.
@Dream Sequins: really?! I usually have a hard time finding shoes that fit! I always wished I had size 7 feet b/c it seems like most shoes are made for them.
@Cas Ruffin: Hehe yes, it was a place no man should venture into!
You'd have to pay me to get my ass of this chair and run! Sadly, I need to start doing that to lose the last 10 pounds of pregnancy weight I've been trying to lose the last 2 years!
So good on you for training and actually doing the run!
wow so jealous of all the shoes! looks like so much fun!
Oh God - how did you have the strength to jump after the race! I literally did have to be peeled off the sidewalk lol :) but I checked my results and it turns out that I placed higher than all my friends who ran so YAY ME! Yay us actually, for actually doing it!
I hear you on the size 5 feet thing, I knew I would totally lose out if I went to the sale. I would like to go one year too but I just can't deal with crowds and catfights when I shop :) Maybe next year though? You still look like you scored some sweet shoes!
ooohhhh shoe shopping. delicious!!! of course i love to exchange link.
SHOE SALES!!! Eeeeeee a it of heaven on earth no? hehehehe
You're right with Drew, on careful inspection she does look a tad stiff but the magic for me was the reminder of my childhood memories :)

Sounds like fun!The pictures from the run are very beautiful!
Oh it's always the same:You find amazing shoes - but not in your size!
P.S. Yes the pic is real.It was totally crazy.We looked out of the window and everything was orange.
The shoe sale was fun! I'm glad the pewter heels and strappy gold flat sandals I found fit somebody. ;-)
sounds like a great weekend!!
Congrats on doing the Sun Run! What an accomplishment!
