Who doesn't love new shoes? Not only are they clean and bright, they feel nice and squishy in all the right places under my feet. I ran 3 miles in a new pair of shoes this morning. They are the Mizuno Wave Runner 22 which is a newer version of the same shoes I've been running in for years. I'd hate to guess how many Wave Runners have run down my street. I love the new color; the purple ones I just gave up were nice, too, but the pink accents on the blue shoes are super cute. I like that the 22 has had a redesign of the soles. Notice that the place where I wore out the old ones has been changed on the new ones. I remember as a kid having people ask me if my new shoes run faster. Since I work in a school, I often have the opportunity to admire kids' new shoes. I refrain from asking them about the speed of their new shoes since that would incite a demonstration and running is strictly prohibited in the cafeteria. If I had $1 for every time I've called out "walking feet!", I'd have enough for a whole lot of Mizuno Wave Riders! I was really hoping that my new shoes were actually going to run fast, but alas, my pace was not that great this morning. I'm planning for a longer run tomorrow and a little better speed. Maybe my new shoes just needed a little warmup jog today. Last week one day I had to look for something in my daughter's closet and found this pretty jacket that is really comfortable, reflective and matches my new shoes! If you catch a glimpse of a blue streak, it just might be my new shoes and jacket flying down the road. Deb had bunion surgery this week, so I'll be solo for a while. I'm planning to try the newest Jodi Piccolt book on audio with my Aftershokz headphones. It's definitely not as good as a friend to talk to, but it will have to do for now. I wish for everyone to enjoy a new pair of shoes this season and the chance to see if they run super fast! Happy running--Missee
