New Shoes

Expert shoe people say that runners should replace their shoes every 500- 1000km, I get new ones when I start to get shin splints and do not resolve when i complete my run. Thus as I am limping about , today I bought a new pair.

Tried out the Runners Den in Owen Sound. Great service, Surprisingly good selection for a tiny (physical space) store. As I ran in a couple races sponsored by the store I felt I should give it my business. Purchased a Asics maxi um support shoe as my arches continue to fall. I would pronate worse if I wasn't wearing an orthotic. Mine are lilac in colour. Purchased 15% off- which still is flipping expensive. Should pray for a healing of my hips downwards so I can buy cheaper shoes.

Did my base 10km tonight in the ran- still with no reflective jacket. Amazed at the downhill performance. I had not realized how painful it has been to go downhills and how often I have walked them. Actually I have avoided hills knowing that the downwards movement would be a killer. Little concered about the amount of space in the toe box but movement in the ankle is limited- narrow feet are hard to fit.
