Kristy has been really great about trying to keep me motivated about running but after our moderate two-miler the other day, my knees were sore and my ankles bruised for days! In talking with another friend who had to have physical therapy from running without correcting her over-pronation, I decided to get fixed up before doing any more damage.
So the saleslady asked me what I'd been running it and when I pointed down to my old, broke-down Sketchers she said, "Oh! That's bad!" Uh. Yeah. She watched me run and recommended a few shoes based on being a moderate over-pronater and I tried running in each. These ugly beasts were the most comfortable shoes ever! I've never heard of Mizuno- but then I'm not really a runner, so that's not surprising. But check out that fat instep!
I usually pick shoes based first upon price, then appearance, then fit. I have never bought solely on fit before and it was wonderful! Lucky for me, these babies happened to be on sale. I can't wait to run in them!
10K, here I come!

Oooh, good for you! I didn't know you ran at all; that's awesome. And, yes, isn't it sad how the best shoes can be the ugliest? Still, getting over it is so liberating! =)
Hooray! I'm excited for our next run together---let me know if you just can't wait to run in those shoes until Tuesday!!
Travis went to Fit Right NW to do the same thing last year and it was the BEST thing! He has been injury-free ever since! Happy running!
RUNNING??....what is running?
