I’m wrapping up week one on the new workout plan from the trainer and decided this morning to treat myself with some new running shoes. We have this great little store in town called John’s Run/Walk Shop that specializes in helping you find shoes that work best for you. I’m so glad that I decided to consult the shoe gurus (thanks Mike for your help!) because my new shoes are definitely going to make a difference. I already took them for a spin on the treadmill and what a difference. For one thing, I was wearing a half size too large before and, secondly, I never realized what good support should feel like. The shoes are a bit more expensive than the discount store version I have been wearing but I think it is totally worth it in the long run, especially if they will help keep me from getting an injury. Mike also taught me a nifty loop trick for tying my shoes that keeps the heel from slipping up and down on me. This was huge for me since that is something that has always bothered me in almost every shoe I have owned.
