I just ordered a brand-new pair of Nike Air Pegasus+ 28s from Nikestore.com.
My current shoes have more than 306 miles on them and I should have a new pair to break in before I run up 500 miles on the old ones.
Normally I'd troll the Internet to see who has the cheapest Pegasus shoes, and that's usually an older season's pair. But now, about once a year, I'll have enough points on My Coke Rewards to get a $50 Nike gift card.
In doing so, I can buy the latest shoe for the price of what I'd normally pay for a previous season's shoe.
It takes me about a year to get enough points (drink enough Diet Coke) to do so, but it's been worth it. I last bought a pair of Nikes this way on Nov. 10, 2010, but I didn't blog about it here.
It takes a long time to accumulate the points, but just like running day after day, it's worth it.
