although if it comes down to a choice, pick the shoes.

It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go.

"You need to look back, not just at the people who are running behind you
but especially at those who don't run and never will...
those who run but don't race...
those who started training for a race but didn't carry through...
those who got to the starting line but didn't get to the finish line...
those who once raced better than you but no longer run at all.
You're still here.
Take pride in wherever you finish.
Look at all the people you've outlasted."

- Joe Henderson
