Just for kicks

My new running shoes came today. My current pair hasn't given out yet, but it will soon. As goofy as it is to lament the passing of a pair of shoes, I'm going to be a little sad when my last pair of Ozweegos is no longer my running pair.

Adidas stopped making Ozweego a few years ago, but I still managed to buy a couple of pairs over that time as stock was sold off. I've worn them for more than 8 years. It's been 4 pairs, two of which took me from running just a block until I was out of breath up to near-10k territory. (Yeah, yeah, I'm slow.)

The pair on the far right was the first. They're worn and the soles are coming apart, but I can't bring myself to get rid of them. They're still good shoes.

The pair in the middle was the pair that I used when I first started running. One of the shoes squeaks a little, but I still wear them.

I guess it's "time for a change" just about everywhere.
