New togs.
Out with the old...
...and in with the new!
I panicked a little when it hit me that these little beauties are going to travel the final 26.2 miles of this first marathon journey with me. Perhaps I'll have them bronzed when all is said and done.
Back in the early days of my running I was getting bored so I decided to try and log a thousand miles in a year (I did it in 10.5 months actually, most of it on a treadmill with me jumping on and off to do OP care durring it). For Christmas that year my daughter made me an awesome shadow box and put all my running bibs and stuff from the year along with a top shelf that holds one of each of the two pair of shoes I wore to complete the miles. I still look at those shoes for motivation today so I say, "Bring on the bronze!"
The shoes are pretty. They look just like mine only mine are purple.

Ha ha, I had the same thought about the new shoes I just ordered--"These are the shoes that will cross the finish line with me." Very cool.
A little scary, I agree.
