About Sand and Shoe.

"It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it's the grain of sand in your shoe. "


'Sandy' always 'fly and jump' into your shoes and socks. You might not feel the finer ones, but you certainly don't want to ignore the bigger ones. I always try to clear them away as soon as possible. If not, they will cause minor cuts or blisters that slow you down during the later part of your training run and race.

Most shoes should be replaced after running a combined distance of 500km in them. They could last till the 800km mark if you have a light-weight body, keep your shoes in a cool, dry and airy location, have other pairs to rotate for running, do not use them for any other activties, don't need to take a long walk to and fro your running routes, do not have pet dogs at home that bite your shoes to grind their teeth, you had paid a higher price for a pair of a reputable brand and hopefully they are of a better quality, the shoes had not been 'idling' in some stores for a few years before you bought them...
