A little rhyme to say goodbye!
Goodbye old friends you've earned your rest
With the roads and trails, you've stood the test
At many miles apiece, the wear has become clear to see
With sore & aching feet, new shoes are a must for me
Out with the old and in with the new
What shoes will I now choose
Will it be the same again or a different make for me
No it's goodbye to Brooks with a change to Hoka Clifton 3!
Have a great weekend all and good luck to everyone running events this weekend. 😎
Out with the old, they have served you well !
Those battered shoes, they do look worn
A little sad, a tad forlorn.
The new shoes, will replace each pair
The old, may feel, you do not care
Instead of the bin, plant up each one
With little flowers, to stand in the sun
I couldn't resist a reply to your little rhyme
Haha love it Frank! Love the new shoes too 😘
Thanks IP, glad it brought a smile! 😊
How exciting is getting new shoes?! 🙂 ...and how sad chucking out the old ones!🙁!
Welcome to the hoka gang Frank! 😊that's me,you, Paul,Boz and Abel in hokas for GSR !😆x
Hoka fleet foots! Or should that be fleet feet ?
Looking at mine I would say elephants feet! I make enough noise when I run ha ha. 😊
Yes Frank, joining the Hoka club!. I hope you got bright pink ones
Ah Frank , sad to see your shoes go. I remember you ran in those white and blue ones in Manchester didn't you ?
I remember cos all I saw was a clean pair of heels all throughout the race, Ha ha !
Ah they have been loved and cherished as they go to the great big shoe skip in the sky, but isn't it exciting getting some new ones ??
Hey get you , the Poet Laureate of the board ! Lovely poem xxx
Aw so sad to say goodbye to those faithful friends. I can't bin mine! I keep em all. I tell myself that they'll be good for walking or gardening in, or doing some physical jerks. Saddo! Mine are sort of piling up against the inside of my wardrobe. In fact my wardrobe is full so now that my current batch of shoes resides in my snug.
You could come up with all sorts of extenuating circumstances for holding on to the old faithfuls Frank. You're an ideas man! (I sound like CJ!)
Come to think of it I could have planted them up, that would have made a talking point! Probably got rid of the smell as well! ha ha 🙊 But they have been faithful and looking on the bright side I'm in the market for a pair of trail shoes now. 😊
Apparently we can hand in our used running shoes at branches of runners need. Read it in the guardian today
Great poem! Enjoy your new shoes - have you posted a photo of them yet?
Running on the road is hard on the knees?!
At last.......NEW SHOES 😀 & a PB in the old ones!
