For the first time ever, I have officially run through a pair of shoes. My first blog post ever was about retiring some old Nikes for these, my highlighter pink running shoes that I called The New Girls.

| Big Sur, CA. Shoes are much dirtier, but no less spankin. |
I went back to The Runner's Edge, since they were pretty awesome the first time I bought shoes there and decided to stick with the Saucony Guide 6. I named the new ones Mercury, though I was informed each shoe should have its own name. I can't think of anything that goes with Mercury though.

I trained for and ran five races, including a half marathon, in my pink shoes. I can't get rid of them. I've already made peace with the fact that my running shoes will one day take over my house. It's cool, everyone knows runners be crazy.
