I got new running shoes today! Hurray! I have always bought Asics shoes because I over-pronate and I was told that Asics are the shoes for over-pronators. However, I also wear custom orthopedic inserts in my shoes so I wasn't exactly sure how much good the Asics were doing. I wasn't sure if I was actually over doing it on the arch supports. Well we went down to the store and after trying on 5 pairs of shoes, with and without my inserts, I finally settled on a pair of Sauconies. They felt more comfortable than the Asics, very cushiony soles. We kept asking the salesmen about them but no one seemed to know anything. Finally, a salesman came over who said they are a newer shoe brand and that they are the best shoes they carry in their store. He also said they are good for lots of wear, so they are durable. I really like them Nothing is better than the feeling of new running shoes. When Seth and I went out tonight, it felt so good to have some cushion under my feet. I am really impressed with these shoes. Maybe it's just been too long since I've had new running shoes and I've forgotten what it feels like to have a little pep in my step. Anyway I am very happy. My mile time was 12:02 today. It was windy and I think I actually started out a little to fast. It felt a little too good to have new shoes. Anyway, I got a stitch all across the bottom of my belly and had to slow down for a while. Still I feel like it was a good run. Did I mention that I love having new shoes! |
