A women's size 5 discounted pair of shoes, purchased over 5 years ago, finally ended their term of service today. We bid them farewell, and a happy return to that shoe palace in the sky.LoAnn has moved on and is now finding comfort in the arch supports of a shiny new pair of women's size 8 New Balances, matched perfectly for her stride by those wonderful folks at JackRabbit on 14th Street. Hopefully now her right knee can recover from yesterday's run.
We now turn to our weekend's highlight!
"Mighty Mouse" Yen ran her first half-marathon this last Saturday in New Hampshire, the Big Lake 2007. Here she is in all her post-run glory on our oversized living room chair:
Doesn't she look fabulous in her victory medal? Congratulations, Yen!! You deserve a good nap, even if you've already been sleeping for hours and hours...

yen yen yen yen yen... way to run run run run run like the big lake wind. i am so proud of all you beautiful women and what you are setting out to do. i am in full support.
I don't get it...she was wearing a size 5 and replaced them with a size 8? I put a link for you guys on my blog. Good luck!
I can imagine going more than half a size smaller in running shoes... that's gotta hurt. Sounds like you guys are getting ready in stride!
Just to clarify. I am a size 6 - 6 1/2. I can't explain why the old ones were size 5... but some shoes are just like that, ya know what I mean? But JackRabbit suggest that you run in a larger size so as not to destroy your feet. That's why I have graduated to a size 8.
