I bought new running shoes the other day. Typically I need to wear a pair of shoes, any kind of shoes, for a week or two before I feel comfortable in them. Not these. When I put these on I knew they were MINE. I have never had any kind of footwear fit like these shoes fit the first time I put them on. Now I know how the kids in Harry Potter feel when they find their wand (or, really, the wand finds them) at Olivander's.
I can be pretty sensitive to footwear. In fact I can always tell if somebody borrowed my wrestling shoes even if they don't tell me. They just don't fit right afterwards. I love my new wrestling shoes though, they fit right the first time, and hopefully, every time.
I'm back to regular running after being sporadic the last ten days. Training run is 7 miles this weekend. I've reffing wrestling matches somewhat regularly which has made it a little difficult to keep up with the program, but with the days getting longer again hopefully the early morning runs will become feasible.
Until next time, I'm hitting the road.
