A walker's best friends

The most important item to a walker is her shoes, of course.
So, since yesterday was payday, I knew where my first stop after school would be ...
SUPER RUNNERS STORE IN HUNTINGTON, LI!
(That was an unsolicited shout-out!)
I was fitted there for my very first pair of walking shoes 9 years ago.
I am happy to present my New Balance 859 ... size 8D (mens.)
Sweet!
During the summer I'll buy another pair.
On our second walk in New York City, my shoes actually gave out. It was pretty painful. The other pair wasn't much better!
These are real beauties!
And ... the salesman gave me two pair of Thor-lo socks ... wishing me luck on my training.
Now that was really sweet.

  2. Hi Roberta-- Just checking in to see your progress! I'd be interested in what your "training plan" looks like-- does Komen give you suggestions? How do you prepare to walk 20 miles a day??
