Tomorrow, inshAllah, I'm going to a yoga-pilates class. My sister goes to some Bikram Hot Yoga class in CT. She says it burns up to 900 calories a session. The class is taught in a room that is set to 105 degrees and the session lasts 90 minutes .

Don't you burn more calories if it's cold out? Because you're body needs to turn up its furnace so to speak?

i need new running shoes.

but the only shoe that really is my type..comfortable etc doesnt have a new model come out until october or november..and i have 1 previous model already and the current one

but my shoe is still dying. sort of. i mean, i dont know. i'd just rather replace my shoes every 6 months as opposed to a year...better be safe than sorry..and alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, ever since i've been wearing these particular shoes, i've had no ankle or knee injuries..like i used to.

so, what to do. just buy another current model? in a different color? *sigh*

New Balance ones are good. You could try a better model.
