I know it is still a bit early into week two to post my progress for the week overall, but this is more of a sentimental post because today I realized that I have to give up my current running shoes for a new pair that I bought more than three months ago but have yet to wear. It's not that I don't like my new shoes...its more like I LOVE my old pair. I mean I've literally run hundreds of miles in them, and we've been through a lot together...snow, rain, mud, the occasional roadkill.
Forget the fact that I've gone way too (embarrassingly) long without a new pair or the fact that I can feel the pavement when I run in them, they are great shoes with the perfect fit, and I don't know if I'll find that great a fit ever again. I would even be so bold as to liken them to a fine wine, and who in their right mind tosses out a fine wine??? Not this girl! So I will wear the new shoes for the sake of my feet but just know that I will be wishing I was running in the old ones...
*Mental Status: Shaky at best with the departure of my old running shoes but still upbeat and positive about my pace and ability to complete this marathon.*
