One Step at a Time

3/366

Today's photo is a snapshot of some very important things of mine, my running/walking gear. I have set my yearly walking goal at 800 miles, so these things are essential to help me meet that goal.

I love my shoes! We went to a lot of trouble to get just the right shoe for me in September 2010. My previous shoes had lost all of their cushioning. I may as well have been walking barefoot. We went to a shoe store in Atlanta where they did some fancy schmancy stuff to figure out the perfect shoe for my foot. My Asics GT 2150 running shoes are awesome! They required NO breaking in! Photographed is my second pair. I love them so much, & found them on sale 1/2 price a few months ago, that I have pair #3 in my closet ready to go when these wear out. Also pictured is one of my fabulous Nalgene bottles. Love them! And my ancient MP3 player...can't exercise without it. Last, but not least, is my watch. I use it to keep me going at the right pace.

I've decided to include the original photo if I end up doing some drastic editing....and because I like before & after photos. So, below is the original.
