A Love Letter to BROOKS

June 19, 2015 by Cris 14 Comments

A Love Letter to BROOKS
All eyez on “YOU”, my love!

So our story goes like that …

“The moment I saw you, I knew I would not resist you. But how could I, when you are so beautiful, so enjoyable, yet so different …

A Love Letter to BROOKS
I instantly decided to grab this chance and try you out …

“Only for the run”, she said to me. As cruel as it sounded at the time, I agreed just so I can be with you for a minute …

A Love Letter to BROOKS
And that’s how it all started … just you and me for the next hour and so …

Just so you know, I will look for you … and when that day comes, I know we could WIN!!!”

Simplicity. Enjoyable. Fast. So beautiful. You are all I want!

I fell in love with Brooks running shoes – Model Launch 2 … and there is no way back from here!

Thank you, Brooks Run Happy Tour Germany for all those beautiful pictures and so much fun! I will see you next year … AGAIN! 🙂

With LOVE1

        Cool stuff! I live in Berlin and might as well try the 42k too. Have to think about it.
        The ghost 7 are awesome! I share your love, haha

    Hey Dana, I meant 8 years of regular running, but you’re right, I fell in love with BROOKS. And NOW, I can’t go back to anything else. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m still “fit-in-progress” (you know like ‘work in progress’), but I no longer complain. As I said to you earlier on your blog, I try to stop the negative talk about my body and try to embrace my qualities and love myself the way I am instead. Wish you a beautiful week! Xoxo
