the shoes

I actually own a pair of shoes that have done a marathon. (see last blog) They are the shoes of my brother that died last year. (He was 38.)
My brother Chris was a fantastic runner and after he died I got a number of pairs of his shoes. I hope that one day I'll be inspired enough to use them to do what they were brought for.
But at the moment they remind me that knowledge and knowing really are fundamentally different things. I have knowledge about running but I don't really know about running in the way that a daily runner knows about running.
Perhaps tonight I might begin the journey.
