Miles to Go

On the advice of a friend who is an experienced runner, I went to Salt Lake Running--  a store that specializes in all things running.  This friend said that if I want to run a half marathon at the end of March (which I do) I MUST have proper shoes.  And not only were my $30 shoes from Khol's not adequate, but they were thoroughly worn out. 

So I walked through the doors to Salt Lake Running and told them I needed new shoes.

They had me run on a treadmill and they video-ed my feet to see what kind of of shoes would be best.  Then I tried on several pairs until I found the shoes that spoke to me.

These are they.
Clark told me they were weird looking.  And they kind of are, but they feel great.  Here's hoping for 7 pain free miles tomorrow morning.

Status update on Operation: Get in Shape Girl--- 36 pounds down.  Quite a few more to go.  These weird looking shoes are going to take me there!
