It's my new Brooks for testing!!
A photo essay.
The box arrives!! Let's pretend that my desk is not a complete and total mess. And that I was totally drinking water out of that Heineken bottle.
Opening the box... what will be in it? What color will they be? Will I like them? And who cares if I do or don't as they are FREE?
I don't like them, I love them! But how do they fit?
So far, so good! Stay tuned as I take them out for their first test run tonight...
MY QUEST TO QUALIFY NOT JUST FOR THE OLYMPIC TRIALS BUT FOR THE 2016 OLYMPICS IN THE MARATHON (to do this I will need to halve my marathon time)
On I went, out of the wood, passing the man leading without knowing I was going to do so. Flip-flap, flip-flap, jog-trot, jog-trot, curnchslap-crunchslap, across the middle of a broad field again, rhythmically running in my greyhound effortless fashion, knowing I had won the race though it wasn't half over, won it if I wanted it, could go on for ten or fifteen or twenty miles if I had to and drop dead at the finish of it, which would be the same, in the end, as living an honest life like the governor wanted me to. -Alan Sillitoe, "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"
