New shoes (glycerin 20 v3)

 Meet my newest pair of running shoes! They’re a lot like my last two pairs. 

Yes, this is my third pair of Brooks Glycerin 20s. Unfortunately they’re not the same color as the other two, but at least they’re not hideous. 

I’d given up finding another pair of 20s because they are actually from two years ago (this years version are the 22s). I’d quit seeing them, until lo and behold one day another pair in my size turned up on the interwebs. Obviously someone was clearing out old inventory. Yay!

I wore them for 6 miles this morning, and may wear them for another short run next week and possibly my 8-mile run a week from Friday, then I will save them for the marathon on 4/27. 

I hope they turn out to be as good as the previous ones because they’ve been the best shoes I’ve ever had. I’ve even been able to quit wearing toe socks and haven’t had a blister for a couple years. 

After the marathon I will likely put them away and go back to alternating between the old pairs until one of them gives out or becomes too unbearable. They’re both way over on mileage, but still feel soft and springy. I’m not very hard on shoes, but they’ve lasted longer than any others I’ve had by far. 

So, we'll see!
