I definitely NEED to get my new sneakers today! I have been obsessing over which brand to buy, how much to spend and talking to EVERYONE more then once about which sneakers they prefer. It's getting old, now I just need to take the plunge. I talked to the running specialist at one shoe store and he was extremely helpful. He showed me how to find a stability shoe versus a non stability shoe. The stability shoe will have a grayish area between the arch and the heal on one side of each shoe. This gray area is suppose to offer better support in your arch and heel so my ankle won't roll in. Also did you know you can stand in a full length mirror and if you put your feet close together, bend your knees and then watch your ankles, if they roll inward that means you over pronate. You learn something new each day and this new running hobby has me learning more then I expected. The world of running is a lot more detailed then I ever imagined. Also a friend said she loves Nike id, so I went on their website. YOU CAN DESIGN YOUR OWN SHOE! It was totally awesome except they don't offer stability control :( bummer! I also learned that Brooks is a running sneaker company that has been around for years and makes awesome shoes but they are small and don't advertise as much as the well known brands.
With all of that being said, I am going to the store after work to find the right sneakers. Since I had to return my other pair I haven't been running or even exercising these last few days. But there is no excuses if I want to keep up with my challenge I need to keep up with my exercise. I will keep you posted on which sneakers I picked and finally stop obsessing over the "perfect" running sneaker.
Have a great Wednesday!
