5.18.2012 Running

This is the first run in my new shoes. I've been running in some Reebok's that I picked up at Famous Footwear at the beginning of winter. Since I'm not a heel striker, I feel that I can be a little more forgiving in my choice of shoe. Which has been true for a long time. This pair of Reebok's really started to hurt my feet and give me some blisters. So, I went in to Gary Gribbles running store and talked with a salesperson. About an hour later and probably 10 pairs of shoes later, I finally left with the new Brooks Pure Connect.

Yesterday it just wasn't in the cards to workout. So, today I HAD to take them out for a test spin. 4 miles later, I'm in love! I feel like they were made JUST for my foot. You know when you're a kid and you try on a new pair of shoes and you feel like you can run faster? Well these actually do make you run faster! Ok, that last part was a lie, but I am running more comfortably!
The last mile was terrible... and from mile one they got progressively worse. I had a good leg session in this morning's workout, so it came back to haunt me this afternoon. Not bad though, still better than I was a few weeks ago.
