New Shoes

I got a pair of new running shoes today. They're the brand spankin' new version of Nike Structure Triax. The same shoes I've been using for the past few years. I know, no big deal right? Wrong. I LOVE getting new running shoes. The fact that these are the newly designed version is icing on the cake. Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved new shoes. Not just any new shoes. New athletic shoes. Give me a pair of the latest stlye of casual shoes and I won't turn them away, but they don't bring the excitement new atheletic shoes do. Weird huh?.

I think new running shoes are like a new start. I can run just a little bit faster in them. They have a little more bounce. Can anyone relate to not wanting to get new sneakers dirty? Like the dirt will ruin them and then they won't help me run as fast? I know, there are some serious therapy issues here. I'm not worried about that just yet. Right now I'm going to take my brand new running shoes and give them a try on the treadmill. (I wouldn't want to chance getting them dirty by running outside!)

What am I doing???

Oaky, my sister is blog happy. She has three separate blogs going. I love reading her blogs. As I was driving home from running errands today I thought, "I want a blog." I've actually thought about it before but didn't think I had enough computer savvy to start. Well, if she can do it- so can I! (yes, I'm the younger sister). I've wanted to blog about my passion which is running, but thought "Who would be interested in that?!" Welll- I'm interested- and that's all that really matters. If I can track my journey and I'm the only one who ever reads it then I'll be happy. So here goes.....
