NB473's at 107 miles...and counting
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Some time ago, I purchased some new shoes. I had debated whether or not they could last for a full 100 miles. As it turned out, my old shoes did not last 100 miles, but in fairness to them, they were used for many, many things besides running during their lifetime.
Well, I answered my question yesterday, when I broke the 100 mile mark in my New Balance 473's. I'm currently sitting on 107.43 miles...and counting!
I guess the question now is, how far can they go? I had toyed with the idea of doing 300 miles this year (although, I didn't want to publicize that number, so I couldn't be held accountable for it), so I guess that may be the new "goal" for my shoes as well. I'm only at 35 miles so far for 2009, but, at this time last year, I only had 30 miles total, so I guess I'm already ahead of schedule...yay me!
