The
blog post below was written in 2010. On my way to work this morning, I
was thinking about THESE shoes. This is the only pair of running shoes I
have ever thrown away. I will never, ever, EVER again throw away a pair
of running shoes. I'm too attached.
it's time to say goodbye
A 1,000 miles ago, I bought a pair of shoes..... and now it's time to buy a new pair. This pair of running shoes is like no other pair I've ever had. They have been with me through countless "I can't do this" runs, nervous and built up anxiety pre-race activities and finally numerous finish lines. I never thought it would be so hard to let go of the shoes. I have put it off long enough and the emotional attachment is almost ridiculous. My new shoes will be here today. They will train and debut in October.REST in peace...thanks for a great run!

I have a horrible time throwing out running and workout shoes. When I do, it is usually long overdue. I think it has something to do with how much work you know you've put in and the shoes were needed to get the work done. Then I think I can't just throw them out. They might still be good for more work!
