We run miles and miles together. We started back when our oldest kids were in kindergarten…Michelle asked if I wanted to run with her and I was scared. Michelle is tall and fast. Our first run was on the windiest day of the year, which should have stopped us. But, it didn’t. We’ve logged countless hours, miles, and life events together over the years.
Along the way on runs, I began picking up pieces of road (trash?) and thinking about how to use them in a stocking. This one is the actual tread from Michelle’s shoe, with road elements I’ve collected along the way sewn into the design. You can see electric flags, fire inspection tags, and a shoelace from Laurie, to name just a few of the items - each element something we found on a run, together.
