New shoe rubber! I'm going to be completely honest here and admit that I ignore when to replace running shoes. At $100+ a pop, I see no reason to replace them every 300-500 miles unless they are really bothering you. I have not as of yet had knee/ankle/foot related issues. Would I like to replace them sooner? Yes! Who wouldn't want that new shoe smell wafting out of a beautiful cardboard box at them? But, until I find a long lost uncle who has died and left his Gates-eque inheritance to me, I will be buying them on a "as needed" basis. My current shoes have close to 800 miles on them. They are high end shoes, so I guess you get what you pay for. I suppose that $40 Kohls shoes wouldn't have fared so well (though wouldn't it be nice to wish for that?!?).
Without further ado, here are the shoes I've been wanting for a while. They are Saucony Triumphs. I've been wearing the style for a while, but never in such a cute color. I think this is acutally the first pair of running shoes I've had that I actually *want* to wear. I wonder if I will want to wear them more at 4:30am?

And, the other thing this picture tells me? I need new socks now. Ick. I think these socks have been around a really long time and are not as white as I believed! Now off to run faster, longer, and stronger!
