You were so good to me for the last 7 years.But things have changed, NIKE's. You have holes. And you're kind of stinky.
And you are Cross Trainers...not so good for a long run.
You took me to the finish line of my first 5K....that was a HUGE accomplishment for me.
You stuck it out for 3 looooong pregnancies with me, on all of my crazy "get this baby outta me" walks.
You kept it together after Pico chewed up your left tongue and laces.
And...you kept my feet happier than everyone else's aching flip flop feet on many trips to Disneyland.
But there's a new shoe in town, and it's time to let you go.
I'll miss you, but my first 3 miles with the ASICS....well...
they were good. Rest In Peace NIKE's.

MEGAN!!! I did not see the HOLES in the bottom of the soles!
I was feeling a little bit guilty/outspoken for pressuring you into a new pair of running shoes...but not any more! I'm so glad you love them. Nothing like a new pair to motivate you in your new routine. 10K here you come!!
Now if I can just obey orders and stay down for a week or so, I'll be joining you in training for that Labor Day 10K.
BTW, can't believe you ran 3 miles of hills today. Awesome.
Asics rock, I picked up a pair 4 years ago and I rocked them hard for a year before I got preggo last time. I need to make them work for me again!! They've been getting away with part time for far too long!!
It was time for new. Glad you finally gave in and spent a dime.
Wow, 7 years?!!! You were WELL over-due for new shoes. I get new shoes every 400 miles, about twice a YEAR! I'm so picky with my running shoes. But it does wonders having new shoes eh?!
Dave says "Yeah, you should never have the same running shoes for seven years." And I would like to add, that you should always have Asics. Nothing better. :) Esp for skinny feet.
