My new Shoes!

 

Yesterday, I cashed in some old (25-29 yr old) savings bonds I forgot I had stashed away in our safe.  I made a trip into downtown to the local running shop!  I was fitted for a new pair of shoes!

All over the store – they have signs that you CANNOT shop for running shoes based on COLOR.  I couldn’t agree more!  I tried on a few pair, ran on the treadmill a little while and settled on the Adidas Supernova Sequence.  Yes, I’m a pronator. Since we’ll be spending the next 400 or so miles together, I wanted to make sure we were a perfect match. 

This is the beginning of a beautiful, sweaty, pavement-pounding relationship!

Don’t you find that new relationships are a little awkward?  I need a good ice breaker.  I’ve got ~6 weeks until race day and we’ve yet to have our first formal date! Do you think 4 miles on Monday morning is a little too much too soon?

My clock is ticking – I might as well be aggressive, right?! Hope there’s little to no blister lash-back, knee discomfort, ankle anguish, or arch affliction :)  Wish me luck!
