Shoes

I was pleasantly surprised to see Jeff Salvage's photo of these shoes. He was making a point about the wet course for the women's 20k in the Olympics, but I immediately recognized the shoes as a pair that I personally own. They are Nike Marathons (racing flats), and they are pretty decent racewalking shoes; perhaps a bit stiff through the midsole, but I like them a lot. I put a lot of miles on them and so I don't wear this pair for racewalking anymore, but they were good shoes. I guess I have good taste in shoes if the elites are wearing them too :). Here's a photo of me wearing them in the 2007 Salt Lake Half Marathon. If you click on the picture you can see it bigger and can see the shoes better :).
