New Shoes!

Hi E Sr and D! Hope you enjoyed the trails today. I didn't go running last night....my sister and I went to the temple instead. Anyway- I made it over the the Run AZ store and got checked out. He said my shoes were much too old, too small and the inserts were all wrong, pushing my feet outward. Phew- anything good about them, sir? :) I tried on quite a few pair, loved the feel of one in particular and actually bought them! Since the new color of this model had come out, I got them for $65 which I thought was great! Oh, and I bought them in a size 9.5, a full size larger than my others. You were right Dayna!! He also said my Achilles tendon was much too tight, along with my calves which is causing my plantar fasciitis to act up. So I also bought the calf stretcher. I'm a sucker. But thank you for the referral to this store. I really enjoyed my experience and can't wait to run in my new shoes. I also learned you shouldn't put more than 450 miles on a pair of shoes. So I found an online running log (see link at left) to keep track of my running and shoe mileage. See you in the morning!
