New trail runners! Exciting! (to me)

In near record time, I got a replacement pair of trail runners only a day after the lacing system broke on the left shoe of my Saucony Switchbacks’.

I went to SportChek, like a True Canadian®, and asked to see two pairs, one for running and one on sale that seemed like a good walking-around shoe.

Except for one pair…and they even had my size, woo. I am now the owner of my first pair of ASICS Trabuco Terra 2 trail runners. They look like this:

I expect to run with them on my feet tomorrow.
