To my retiring teal Hoka's

When I retire a pair of shoes (look at these orange beauts 👀🧡) I like to take some time and reflect on all of the adventures that I got to go on with the retiring pair.

It’s cheesy but I think it’s important. So here we go.

To my retiring teal shoes:

// you were my first Hoka’s
// we ran 379 miles together
// in wisconsin, illinois, california, arizona and minnesota
// we ran in trails, streets and on ice
// through snowstorms and rain storms and ice storms
// we ran solo
// we ran with denver
// we ran with jaci
// through celebrating a new job
// through processing that USA Today article

you were with me the first time I saw lake michigan frozen
and you brought me back from my first running injury, one mile at a time

so here’s to the
miles that I cried during
miles that I laughed
and alllll of the sunrises and sunsets
