winter challenge swag

Tail on the Trail gives prizes for achieving goals. But not like the "prizes" the first year—way to many people.  They narrow it down to three and then have participants vote. Nothing I vote for ever wins. I think I'm going to start voting for the loser item. That way maybe the thing I really want will win. Since it's a winter challenge we've gotten ice scrappers (best ever), gloves, scarfs, and a long sleeve tee. This time it was about lighting up the night so you were not hit exercising in the dark. I picked the headlamp. I have one already, but I'd love to leave one in the car.

Instead, the light up sneaker clip won. And there is one. I guess they assume your feet will always be together. I think that's a good assumption.

It's hard to get on the shoe. And I honestly thought it was reflective and not light up. I opened the cellar door and looked to see if it was glow-in-the-dark. Nope. Then I decided to put it outside to "charge it". That's when I saw the "on" button. It flashes, and it stays lit.

I've taken it off my sneaker and thrown it in my walking bag. Next time I walk at dusk or night, I'll be prepared. But that probably won't be until November.

Enjoy the video of my flashing sneaker.
