Hey folks just wanted to say that I finally did it. I ordered a new pair of trainers. Tim suggested that I do it in March but meh... I have only had these trainers since October. I also learned that I get to work on the 4th (yay!) and I had to tell all of my running friends around here that I will not be racing and they gave me some interesting workarounds to my problem.... Blantyre doesn't value freedom it seems............
