The telltale signs that my shoes are worn out:
knee and
ankle pain
(aka KNANKLE: pronounced nang-cull). Oh yeah, it was getting bad. I really have been loving my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9's...but now they are on the
GTS 11 with the Brooks "DNA." Luckily, when I tried them on at
Road Runner Sports, it was
LOVE. *sigh*
Thank goodness for the awesome customer service I received from "D" at
Road Runner. He was actually the same salesperson that helped me out last year--he even remembered what shoes I got
(the New Balances that didn't work out and I exchanged for Brooks) and my running blog. Crazy!

Needless to say, I'm really excited about these shoes! I took them out for a test walk with Kerrie, T Jr. and Goober today. It was great seeing Kerrie TWO days in a row! Plus, it's crazy that I now have a little one to push around like she does. Push around, as in the stroller, people. We're not literally shoving our little ones around. Welllll? Uh, nope, we aren't. ;)
T Jr. was so cute and wanted Goober to play with her new toy. And he wants Goober to come over to his house. Awwww!

By the way, my 9 mile recovery is spectacular! Right when I got home I took an epsom salt bath with my
Dr. Teal's
and then sported my
Run Love Swift socks for the rest of the day...and I'm not sore. Score!
gotta love new kicks!! wishing you many happy miles
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute. Buddies for sure!
ReplyDeletePS: He told Mr. T all about going to Zoe's house and taking a walk with Goob. :)
Awesome on the new shoes, walk with Kerrie AND feeling so good post-9 miler!
ReplyDeleteGreat new shoes. I need to start wearing my new ones but I don't like to let the treadmill eat new shoes.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. They are soo cute!
I live in my compression socks. Love them!
