I finally bought a new pair of running shoes for me. The old one I have was already too run down... and yes, torn. I have to buy a new pair, especially because I need a good quality one for my forthcoming trip... next month. Gosh... if it's not for that trip, I wouldn't think of buying a new pair of running shoes! It was on sale so I quickly grabbed it. Rebok shoes. Very lightweight. I love the tinge of red on it, too.
Good on you! You have done well to train in new shoes now and not later!
