A tale of two shoes

Our friends Rex and Karen ran a 25K trail run this past weekend.  They are always doing awesome and inspiring things that make half marathons and Hood to Coasts look like an afternoon in the hammock.  Karen explained that sometimes, after a long trail run, you just throw away the shoes.  So I asked for pictures of their shoes this weekend, because that sounds very badass, and indeed it is.

25K later

Scar's favorite shoes are her pink squeaky shoes with flowers on them, and even though the squeaker in one is missing and the other barely squeaks, she still loves them and insists on wearing them always.  The soles are torn up.  At the park, they get hidden pieces of sawdust in them.  She doesn't seem to care, but it's a little embarrassing to be her mother and to feel like I'm not outfitting her in a proper pair of shoes.  But for her birthday, my parents got her a new pair- brown with pink flowers.  Now, she's squeaking loudly again.
