A Nice Reminder :)
Monday, March 30th, 2009
With the sun shining bright today, I couldn’t help but put the running shoes on and head out for some much needed vitamin D. Unfortunately, I only made it a few blocks before I received a nice little reminder that getting my running feet back required a few more details other than sun and my foam roller! What did I realize and something you should all think about too? My shoes were past their prime!! I completely forgot that these were the same Brooks Glycerine that I trained for the Super Jock n Jill 1/2 marathon in last year, and the ones I have been wearing most everyday since. So here is my challenge for everyone this week, check your shoes and make sure they are still providing that much needed support. If you think it’s time for new ones, the best way to check is to bring your old pair with you and try on a new one and old one at the same time. If you feel a significant difference (such as one leg feeling higher than the other), it is time! And while you’re at it, ask to have someone help fit you for shoes to make sure you have something that works with your stride. Here are some of my favorite places to find athletic shoes:
*Footzone
*Super Jock N Jill
*Seattle Running Company
