I didn't want things to end this way but I am breaking up with my cute little Nike Moto's. Normally I don't even buy Nike shoes but last year (yes we've been together that long) I was looking for some good running shoes for Iron Girl and a runner I know introduced me to these. She said she thought I would like them. I was sceptical. Well to my surprise as soon as I saw them and tried them on I knew I liked them. Then when I actually went for a run, oh my, I fell in love. It felt so good... But like all shoes as time passed I noticed them not being as supportive as they once were. I mean it was only a matter of time, I knew when I bought them that they wouldn't last forever. At least I can say I got the best of them.
Now it's time to say good-buy...
Nike Moto's, you treated me good for the past 18 months. You were there when I trained for Iron Girl 2008, my park runs, my hard concrete runs and even stuck with me during those boring hamster wheel runs you know I dread. But you just use to treat me so much better back in the begining. I appreciate all you put up with from me but I have kept you around way longer than I should have. You just haven't been supportive lately and it's really hurting me. But if you want... I can still put you on every now and then for just lifting weights or going to the grocery store. It's all I can give to you at this time. It just isn't good for me to take you on runs anymore. You're just not enough for me and I think I am back in the market for some new shoes who will support me and be there during these hard time I am going to go through. Heck, I might even look online for some new ones. I suppose your going to judge me now but I don't care. I just know you can't be there the way I need and deserve you to be. And if I have to look online for some that will, then I don't care what you think. I'll always have have a special place in my heart for you.

Okay, now let the fun begin! I am going shoe shopping! I know that looks isn't all that matters but I want some cute running shoes that will feel good during my runs and not hurt me. After all, I think that I deserve that much. If you know of any good running shoes please introduce me! I am ready!
I am sad to leave my Moto's but I am sort of excited to buy new shoes, I mean I am a girl and it's a fun and exciting time!
I ran five miles on Saturday, GREAT!

I was in pain the rest of the day, SCARED.
I know there is going to be pain but I am going to the doctor this week. My knee swelled up and I haven't ran since. My sweet hubby even went to the store for bags of ice and forced me to put my legs in the tub with them for 15 minutes. I guess sweet isn't the word.
To his defence, it did help but now I am just scared to hurt it. I wrapped it last night and it does feel better today but I think I'll get it checked anyway.
Last week: ONLY 14 MILES :/
I was suppose to run 3 on Sunday.
