Got a new pair...

In the past 30 days, I've logged 100.28 miles!
I got a new pair of running shoes at the beginning of the training season in July.
They are my first pair to hit the 400 mile mark
in less than 6 months.

I was super-duper excited to get a new pair of running shoes
this weekend.  I tried on at least 10 pair and finally decided on these...

I like running.  I really enjoy it.
Each time I run, I push my legs and my body to do something I NEVER thought
I would ever or could ever do.
It's empowering.
It's freeing.
It's relaxing (after the first mile).
It's good for my heart.
It gives me a clear head.
It's me time.
Time to think.
Time to sing.
Time to celebrate.
Time to pray.
Time to be thankful.
Time to live.

  2. Hey Bre- I'd venture to say that new shoes make almost anything possible :)

  3. I just bought a new pair of running shoes after trying every shoe in the store on...turns out I was buying the wrong size, so needless to say, the right size shoe makes all the difference. I love my nikes and couldn't imagine running without them!

  5. You're right Shannon - the right shoe makes the difference.

    Jen - run, walk, hop, skip, pick one - you can do it, one step at a time.
