New Shoes

As you know, I have recently adopted a pair of new shoes. I took them for a test spin last night and I have to say...I am impressed. They are springy and comfortable. And white. Man are they ever white.

After one run in my new shoes, I realize that I might have clung to my old ones a bit too long. These new sneakers cradle my feet like clouds supported by gossamer tissue resting on a baby's bottom. The shoes still feel foreign and in some ways uncomfortable, because I haven't spent enough quality time in them to truly break them in, but I feel like these shoes and I are going to go far.

When I was getting ready for my run yesterday, I instinctively reached for my old pair. Sliding them on I felt the pleasant sensation of clinging moisture accumulated from Saturday's high humidity run. Which caused me to think..."I wish I had a new pair of shoes..." Which made me realize..."I have a new pair of shoes." Elation followed.

Whenever I buy the shoes, I am always amazed at the price. Don't misinterpret what I am saying, Luke's charges a fair price for a good product, but having grown up with shoes from Payless in the 80's, I am always taken aback at having to pay $130 for shoes. These aren't just any shoes though...apparently I have a tendancy to "roll" when I run. I beg to differ, because "rolling" sounds much more pleasant than whatever it is that I am doing, but nonetheless, my shoes job is to put a stop to that nonsense.

So, with all that said, it is with great pleasure that I introduce you to my new running shoes...Shoes, this is my blogging audience...audience, Shoes. Damn, I really should have taken a picture.
