Daddy needs new shoes....

I was pleasantly suprised with how well my knees felt from a new pair of shoes. I took my old ones into Fleet Feet and they looked at the wear pattern on the treads to help me determine a better shoe. My wife, the more experienced runner knew that they were putting some shoes on sale and that I might want to have them look at the old ones before they reccommended another pair. You should have seen the look on the girl's face when I pulled them out of the Wal-Mart bag, showed them to her, and exclaimed "I want to get a refund!".. I then laughed, and told her my wife wanted them to see the tread pattern. She also said she knew for certain my knee problem was probably from the age of the shoe, and that I could definately use a new pair. Anyway, I had a great run, and the only problem I had was from the twinge of Thursday's run without the new shoes. I feel like next week will be much better already. So, what do you do after a 10 mile run? Well, you go door-to-door canvassing for a friend running for a political office! Yikes!

Yes, new shoes are great. Glad I wasn't the only one who waited so long to get a new pair. What a difference on the feet it makes!!!

Nice joke on the Walmart bag. I change out four different pair. My wife says I'm spending more money on 'free running' than on golf!!

I'm amazed you had enough energy to go canvassing! That was funny about the Walmart bag.
