New Shoes!

I just couldn't put on my old sneakers today.

They are comfortable and still look okay; but they are smelly.

I pulled out my new ones, that I have been saving for 6 months.

I wear size 11/12 (28-30cm); not abnormally large, but in Japan it's a mission to find this size.

I have to stockpile sometimes.

Usually the selection is bad: bright orange basketball hightops, velcro monstrosities, or fluorescent ones that scream alternative lifestyle!!

But today I have new ones on!

They look good!

I'm always amazed at how good new running shoes make me feel.

I should do this more often.

I have a jump in my step.

I feel healthier, I've become better looking!

New Running Shoes!

I don't run in them though: I think I could today!

Anything is possible on new shoe day.

I feel lucky!
