Faithful Friends

Over the years, there have been many things I have changed in my running apparel. Some days, I need shorts, others a turtleneck and wind sweats. And, sometimes, I need to break down and buy a new shirt because my old one is so pitted out it stands on its own.

But the one thing I will never change are my trusted running shoes. When I started running, I developed a mean case of Plantar Facitatis. After that I never skimped on this part of my wardrobe.

I laugh when I think about a conversation with my father-in-law regarding how expensive running shoes are. He said..."well why don't you just get a cheap pair of shoes to train and then run the race in a better pair." He is, of course, a non runner. That is like saying, why don't you buy a cheap pair of tires for everyday use and then use an expensive pair when you travel for vacation. The only difference is the vacation travel will not result in a severe case of blisters!

So here are my faithful friends...Brooks Adrenaline GTS7. Love em' I have had six pairs...and sometimes buy them two at a time. I hope Brooks does not stop making them...I just might have to stop running!
