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.
