Like running on cushions of love

So last week I ran a marathon. Yes, thank you, I know (silences crowd). However during said marathon, I came to a realization: I should probably invest in a new pair of nice running shoes. Actually, during the race, it went something more like this: OWWW holy crap my feet are killing me why didn't I buy new shoes before this race this is stupid OWWW. Also during this tortuous run, I noticed that my calves were hurting quite a bit. Again, race time it was really more of a: SON OF A B!#%* my legs feel like someone is taking a corkscrew and just keeps twisting.

Now after these feelings, I decided it was time to invest in some new kicks. That is why I went to see my good friends over at Runners Den, an absolute running mecca that is full of a staff that knows everything there is to know about the sport, and will be more than happy to help you out in anyway whatsoever. While there, I was introduced to my newest friend:
A pair of Brooks Ghost 3's. I LOVE THEM. They are so amazingly comfortable its like running on clouds while little fairies sprinkle your running trail with love and motivational fortune cookies. I went for a run this morning in them for the first time, and cannot be more excited to train for my next race, which is quickly approaching. Can't wait to set a new PR in these bad boys!
