r.i.p.: adidas ketchikan 09.21.2008 - 02.06.2009

i have officially retired my adidas ketchikan shoes.  this pair of shoes will always have a special place in my heart because they were the shoes i wore during the first four months of my return to the running world.  i logged 450 miles of running in these shoes and i wore them for three racing events: "the turkey trot 5 k", "the christmas mile", and "the run for the ranch 10k".  i had hoped to get at least 500 miles out of these shoes but they have officially broken down on the inside to the point that they are causing me toe issues when i run in them.  may they rest in peace, and may they find some use during the lawn mowing season.
