It's the Shoes Stupid!



Yesterday, I was fitted for a new pair of shoes at a running store. The guy watched me run (not a pretty site) and said I needed much more support.
My New Balance shoes give me about half the support that I need he said,and he fitted me for a new pair of Brooks that he had to special order. The problem seems to be a very high arch. I think the problem is just big, ugly feet.

He also sold me some inserts that I used today. This was obviously the solution. Virtually pain-free today. I had stretched extensvily and used these inserts, and things I am sure will drastically improve when I get the new shoes Friday.

Big News! I have completed a marathon! Today marks 27 miles of training miles. That's more than a marathon already. Now,if Ican just do it all at one time....

Thanks for your moral and financial support!

Total Training Weeks: 2 weeks, 2 days
Total Training Miles: 27
