Pushing the Pumas

I had planned to replace these well worn Puma running shoes a few months ago.  With focus and determination I went shopping at my local running store.  I tried on a few pairs, ran up and down in the store and decided not to buy a new pair.  I may be tempting fate but these Pumas feel even better now that they are so well worn.  Is it possible that I have hit the sweet spot with them?
For sure they look great!  You know sometimes you look at a pair of running shoes and they just look plain ugly!  Not these.  They have the right level of detail and colour coordination that gives them that 'just right' look.  I know that form is supposed to follow function...it's nice when form equals function.

Sally says I'm thinking and talking about this particular pair of running shoes way too much.  Given the amount of miles they've gone, she won't let them into the Apartment.  She barely lets me keep them on the balcony.  Yes they do have a high odour.  I call it character...she calls it stinky!

Yes I've pushed these Pumas past their best-before date and I know one day soon I'll have gone one run too many.  But till then, I'll keep on running.

Until next time...

Running back to Saskatoon

"Running back to Saskatoon" only has an accidental and coincidental connection connection to running.  The story..

One of my favourite albums is the Guess Who's, 'Live at the Paramount'.  Back in my teens I played that record to death with an emphasis on 'Running Back to Saskatoon'.  Headphone meant my family didn't go crazy with the repeated playing. These were the days before Google Maps so actual printed maps, photographs and magazines were the only way to see what the City looked my like without actually vitising.

I moved on from that album and thinking about Saskatoon once I hit university and college.  Imagine my anticipation many years later when as an adult I visited Saskatoon for the first time to visit some friends who had moved out there.  We'd driven from Toronto and as we headed up the highway from Regina I was humming the chorus in my head over and over. I was well into running by then and couldn't wait to head out for a run along the South Saskatchewan River.

So if you don't know 'Running Back to Saskatoon' or haven't heard in some time, Enoy:

Until next time...
