I love the feeling of new shoes, especially when the fit is perfect. I bought a new pair today. Asic Gel Nimbus-II. They feel so good I want to put them on and hop around my place. I can't get out of the apartment because of a massive thunderstorm that's slamming Houston at the moment. Oh well.
I just got off the phone with my friend Laurel. I told her I was going to take a picture of my shoes. Her reply to me was entirely predictable.
"Because you're a dork like that."
Yes, I am.
I bought new shoes, too! I had been walking/jogging in mine for three years and thought it was time for some new ones. Now if they would just make me go faster!
ReplyDeleteDid 2.5 miles at 5:30 a.m. today. I'm trying to build up so I walk from one light pole to the next, then jog to the next pole, walk, jog, walk, jog, etc... Missing a couple of weeks set me back but I'm not giving up!
Good for you! I started with alternating running and walking, too! Thanks for the comments. I'm so happy to know someone's reading!
ReplyDeleteNice shoes, except that they look depressingly sporty. As if you're expected to do some kind of ... "exercise" in them.
ReplyDeleteWe're reading, HiStandards. It's just that I don't have much to contribute on the subject of running. Posting "Are you frickin' crazy?" every day gets old.
I'm sort of with vet when it comes to not comprehending this "running" thing of which you write, but I do know the joy of new foot gear - when I slip on a new pair of Clark clogs or sandals and they feel like I've owned them for years... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteGodspeed, HiStandards!
I like your shoes, I can't believe they are so pink!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are a dork, but we already knew that. I'm glad you're comfortable with it ;)
To vet and NDR, I'm always glad to hear from you, even if it's to let me know you think I'm a little nuts. :)
ReplyDeletePaige, YES! Aren't they pink??? And red! Together!!! I think they'll make me go faster.
