It is time to say good-bye to these shoes.
These shoes have been with me for quite some time. I bought them the summer I started training for the Philly marathon. We've spent a lot of time together. Miles and miles together - through Rock Creek Park, all around Washington DC, into Virginia, around Baltimore.
I also wore this guys throughout my pregnancy with C. I wore them until the day they stopped fitting (when my feet were too swollen to get into them).
I then put these shoes back on in November when I started to get my run back. I wore them throughout my training for the DC RnR 1/2.
They have been good shoes to me.
We went out together for one last muddy, wet run yesterday.
When I hit the pavement for my next run, I'll be wearing a bright blue pair of kicks with pink trim. They are spectacular.
Thank you, yellow Nikes, for so many amazing runs together.

Oh! Show a pic of the new shoes!
I always thought it was funny how runners got attached to their shoes, but now that I am a runner I totally get it. Looks like they had a good life and were good to you. Hope you have many wonderful miles in the new ones.
Yes, picture please!!
Oh I get so attached to my shoes! I still haven't gotten rid of the ones I wore for Boston and that was almost 5 years ago!!! I haven't worn them since...they just sit pretty on a shelf!
