one of the marathoners must have lost a shoe along the way
—
‘a shoe is just a shoe until someone steps in it.
the reason I buy a special shoe for my marathon
is not because it’s going to turn me into an elite runner.
the reason is that when I step into this shoe,
it signals the depth of meaning I’m putting into the moment.
better said, this shoe is like a fitness tuxedo.’
-quotes from the movie, ‘Air’

Awweee. It’s such a cute shoe though. Any time I see a shoe – I always wonder how it got there, who left it – was it on purpose or just lost, and so on. They tell so many stories. This is beautiful. 💕

A beautiful thought. Sometimes you have to invest in quality too for specialized sports and this fitness tuxedo is a great investment and signal for greatness too. 🙏

Love the quote – but I don’t remember it from the movie! Now I’m excited to rewatch. If I remember correctly there was plenty of 80’s nostalgia in it…thanks, Beth! 😉
