Personal Narrative: Running Shoes

Decent Essays
This past weekend my family and I had to go run some errands which is normally at Target and my wife was wanting to buy running shoes for the kids, but I didn't want the shoes she had picked out at the Target. We have 3 boys and they are rough on shoes and I rather buy quaility and not the cheaper beand cause I would like the shoes t ohold up a little longer. I asked her if we could go somewhere else. We pasted a Shoe Carnival and in the windows that filled the whole windows was buy one pair get your second half off. So I figured I have 3 boys and a wife (happy wife happy life (ie...shoes)) plus they have a wide selection of shoes for the kids plus they offer a 10% military discount. At this point it's was just figuring out what shoes

    An important aspect of everyday life is keeping good health. Runners often suffer a variety of injuries, starting with muscle aches, and ending with tearing an achilles’ tendon and everything in between.
