Oh My Gosh!!

As most you already know I was having issues with my shoes the first time around. They actually did not support my feet, so after sending emails, and phone tags, sending my old ones back. I received a coupon code in the mail. So I went to Pearl Izumi's website to see what will work for me.
I did some online researching and asking around and finally picked shoes that I will have a better chance with. As my team mate said if these (banana peels) don't work I am just going to keep them and run anyway. Either in their shoes or my old church shoes, just as long as I cross the finish line.
I was curious of running shoes and did you know the first athletic shoe was created in 1832 (http://www.runtheplanet.com/resources/historical/athleticshoes.asp). Okay enough for the history lesson, so this may be my last weekend to wear church shoes to practice in.
