These boots are made for hiking!!!

New sport, new gear! Maybe the reason I particpate in these events is the promise of new shoes, sportswear and gear. I ventured into REI and was fitted with a new pair of sturdy hiking boots. After living in running shoes for two seasons, my feet were not used to the drastic change of shoe type. I have to admit, these boots make me feel taller! I can definitely get used to that sensation. I need to venture back to REI to purchase a pack that carries 1 gallon of liquid, trekking poles, hat and pants. Once I'm totally outfitted, I promise to upload a photo.
