Old Shoes, New Shoes; Old Dogs, New Dogs

After several runs that led to total body aches, I've retired these shoes. Thankfully, THIS was the cause of such aches. So I took out my brand new Asics that were given to me from the folks at "The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund" and "Active", the people who run the Women's Triathlon in Naperville. Put them on, ran, stretched and NO ACHES!




What a difference.... And sure wish they could stay this clean! Anyway...I really didn't think my old shoes showed wear on the bottom (but it did on the top...but why would that matter) and I don't put a lot of mileage on them....No more than 12 or 13 miles a week. Apparently, the matter between the bottom of the shoe that hits the ground and the bottom that cradles my feet was deteriorating. Hey...at least it's not ME (deteriorating, that is!).




Hmmmmm.... Can you see any difference? Still looks like some good tread to me! (Above: Old Shoe...Below: New Shoe).

Well, my dogs aren't barkin' now, but my LIVE dogs are! Son #1, Adam, came for the weekend with his pup, Bailey. This never thrills Miss Ellie. But here was about the sum of their weekend.




Ellie is happy Bailey went home now! All in a dog's life!
