staying true to my asics

If you have ever come to my apartment, you are greeting at the door by this pile of running shoes that Jennings and I have collected.  And yes, we do wear all these shoes.  Each has a purpose in our active social and sports life!

This pile has become smaller as many of these shoes have lived their life.  I have thrown one pair away and donated another 2 pair.  Richmond Road Runner's store in Carytown take shoe donations and sends them to countries who could use the shoes. 

But I can't get rid of some shoes without buying another pair! And my feet are begging for a new pair to  run the Shamrock race this weekend!  I tried on several brands in an array of colors, but I have to stay true to my Asics which I have worn since joining the track team in middle school.

ASICS 2160.  The shoes is the same with some new technology.  The smell of a new pair of shoes is AWESOME!  The first few miles in a brand new pair of shoes is true bliss!  My feet say, AAHHHHHHH!
