As I was sitting here waiting for my laundry to dry, I asked myself: with the Rock ‘n’ Roll LA Half Marathon next weekend, do I run the scheduled 12 miles, or take it easy with lower mileage tomorrow?
In the meantime, I got new running shoes!! Actually, they aren’t entirely new. I bought them last December and have held onto them until I really need them. Although I don’t entirely need them because my current shoes still have some mileage to go before they are absolutely broken down, I figured it doesn’t hurt to use some new shoes for next week’s race.
It was like Christmas! I loooove the sight and smell of new running shoes! However, I got a little nervous when I saw this tape on the outside box:
Awwww, I had nothing to worry about. 🙂
I’ve been running with my new pair since last week on the lower miles, but used my older shoes for last week’s long run because we were going to be running in dirt and there was no way, I was wearing new shoes in the dirt. If they were trail shoes, I’d have no problemo with that, but they weren’t. I’d like my new shoes to stay a little new and cleaner for a little while longer thank you.
My clothes are all dried and put away and I still don’t know what to do about tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll know until I get out there, when I will judge how I feel, and go from there. At least I’ve got me some new shoes to run in.
