The Old:
Dearest Mizunos-
I am writing you to thank you for your years of service. You have done a fabulous job of cushioning and therapeutically supporting my feet in the last few years of running, but the time has come for me to place you on early retirement on the closet shelf. This is in no way tied to your performance level....you continue to do a fabulous job caring for my tootsies on my jogging outings. This decision is based purely on the fact that my lovely D took it upon himself to hook me up with some really cool Nike + iPod shoes that well.....honestly blow you out of the park in technological advances. Sure, you offer the comfort in having conformed to the exact shape of my freakish feet over the years, but do you have a chip built into your insole that can monitor distance, pace, time and progress...all while playing your favorite downloadables from iTunes?? I think you understand my reasoning......
This is not a forever goodbye....I fully intend to pull you out of the closet for those short runs that won't require workout mixes. I would like to offer my sincere thanks for your loyalty and servitude....and if these newbies don't improve my cotton pickin time in the least, don't worry.....I will kick them to the curb and run barefooted back to you.
Sincerely-
S
The New:
Sweet.....
