Dear Running Shoes

Dear Running Shoes,

We have been through a lot together since January, and I have to be honest, you look a little worse for wear.

When we first met, you were bright white and shiny. Today you are grimy looking and dirty.

When we first met, I had to really work hard to run a minute and a half without stopping and I jumped for joy when I could run for 5 minutes without stopping. Today I can run for 45 minutes straight.

I was offered a new pair of running shoes a couple of weeks ago. After all, I have my first real race coming up this Sunday.

The shoe were shiny, white, and new.

But, they are not for me.

We started this together, Running Shoes, and we are going to end this together too.

Sincerely,
MomOf3
