After officially putting 752.19 miles on my sneakers, it was finally time for another pair. Because my next pair was going to be my training for Boston shoes, I decided to go to The Foot Store in Mount Pleasant and get their opinion on what was best for what I was about to do. Unfortunately it was super busy during lunch while I was in there (totally wasn’t planning for that) and by the time they made it to me I had about 5 minutes to see what they could show me and make a pick. Luckily I have been doing this long enough that I know what I like for the most part after a few steps in the shoe.
I came home with these guys…

Retirement for an amazing shoe, carrying me just further than the equivalent of Charleston, SC to Easton, PA (Casey’s hometown)
So today I laced them up and tried them out. I was a little nervous not only trying a new shoe but also a new brand of shoe. I have been in Asics for about a year and a half and loved them but I have to say I am happy with the switch so far. It didn’t hurt that today was one of those beautiful running days that you really only can dream up. There was a slight breeze, the sun was setting, about 70 degrees and people out everywhere running. Nothing really pumps me up more than seeing someone else enjoying what I am too. Just an overall great work out, plus it was Friday, so really just try to beat that!
Join me in lacing up Saturday morning for a long fun run with a friend (and some after run mimosas!)
