New sneakers. WOOT!! (running shoes)

Well I have been doing a lot of reading about running and how shoes effect it.  Last night I went to Fleet Feet over on Monroe Ave.  They went over a bunch of different things about how my feet are and how they land and pronate.  I never knew that much went into just running down the road.  Anyway I ended up getting some new running shoes, arch supports( I have high arches) and some new running socks.  The socks are awesome.  I think I might wear them around normally.  I got a pair of Saucony Progrid Guide 4 shoes.  They have been great so far.  I went for a little run today and felt good.  Getting used to the arch support was a little tougher.  It feels like a ball under my arch, but they said it could take a couple weeks to get used to.  Running didn't go much better today, but the GPS on my phone worked so that is a positive.  I am just going to keep taking it easy for a couple weeks to let my shins get used to it.  They were my bane once again today and I had to stop and walk about a third of the way through my 20 minutes.  Oh well.
