Meet My Little Friend(s)…

by healthy ashley on January 29, 2008


Why is it that anytime I try to take a picture of my shoes/feet, my (k)ankles look HUGE? The only picture where it actually looked like I had real ankles was blurry. Oh well.

Anyway, I have found the answer to my prayers, the milk to my cereal, the car to my journey to becoming a runner… Asics GT2120′s. Oh my!

I literally put them on and had to run. They support my feet in ways that no others (ahem, Nike) have before. Seriously, these have ignited my running. They aren’t the most attractive things, but they are still the best!

I’m heading out for a run now. Woohooooo!

That’s how my Brooks Radius shoes make me feel—like I HAVE to run. Fast. Enjoy!

I’ve heard about those Brooks! I might have to give those a try next.

But I have learned that the shoes can make a huge difference. Yay for running with support!

Your post couldn’t be more perfect! I’m on a hunt for new sneakers!

Roni– I know one thing doesn’t work for everyone, but you have to give Asics a try! I’m so ecstatic– I’m just not used to shoes actually enhancing my run! LOL

Good luck with your shoe hunt!

Have fun breaking in your new running shoes. Let me know what you think of it. I look forward to your report on your new shoes. By the way, you should start thinking about what you want to name your little friend. My running shoe’s name is Loopy.

oooh, I think they’re purty, in that “I’m a kick-ass athlete” kind of way.

New sneakers are on my shopping list, too. I even have a gift certificate. Maybe Sunday I’ll venture to the store.

Go you, runner girl!

Yay Ashley! I felt that exact same way when I got my new shoes. I hope that feeling lasts a long time for you.

oh I still think they’re really cute. Maybe i just have bad taste :)

Whenever I take pictures of my feet, I always think my feet look huge! If it’s not one thing, it’s another…

I think they are cute! I LOVE getting new running shoes. Have fun!

I don’t take pictures of my feet. They are huge. In a running shoe, I wear a 10 1/2!!!!!

Okay, so it makes me feel better that you all think they are cute!

Robin, you are my hero! In running shoes I wear a 10! I try so hard to be all feminine and cute… and then Wham! Lol, how funny our distortion-tendencies can be.
