Ode to a Blue Bag

Being Oakley, there was a really handy padded glasses pocket. I am generally not one to be sentimental about things. Things are tools to be used for their useful life and then replaced as needed. This morning, I cleaned out my big blue Oakley duffel bag. It has served as gym bag, carry-on, travel, and race bag for well over a decade. It was the best and most versatile bag I have ever owned.

I've begun my running journey recently, and I've been having a fun time! Slowly improving my endurance with each run, and I'm trying my best to be more consistent. So far my longest runs have still been 10ks, but I want to slowly increase my distance. I'm still very very slow and mainly do a lot of run/walk interval running, but I've been enjoying the process.
