My closet has become a grave yard of running shoes. Five pairs to be exact. Five pairs of shoes purchased in the last two years. That is approximately $500. But alas, it is down to last few days of training. With only 12 days left, I only have 5 more runs to go with 8 miles being the longest of them all. Only 7 more mornings of waking up at an ungodly hour. I am so friggin ready for the day to get here. Even more so, I am so ready to take a break. To get some sleep, to not have something hurt, to be able to go out on a Friday night, to not have my whole life planned around what runs I have to run when. While I've mostly enjoyed this whole training process, my motivation is tapering just as much as my running plan.
So, me, Moe's and a beloved homewrecker... it is on!
I went through two pairs of New Balances that I really liked, then I switched to Saucony which is what i am currently wearing. I had bad luck with Asics and Brooks.
