Whoo hooo

Posted on January 21, 2008 | Filed Under Run 

I just got new shoes, and a heart rate monitor. Life is great and God is GOOD :) I’m so inspired to go out for my run today. In other news I’m going to start training to run a 5k I’ll keep you up to date on the details.

Question for any of you runners out there: What do you run in? Any favorite running shoes? Personally I’m sold on Asics and right now I’m trying out the the Asics Gel Kinsei

and the Brooks Trance

I found them really cheap at a running expo and they are normally pretty expensive shoes, so I figured I’d give them shot.
I haven’t tried the Brooks yet, but the Asics I like, except that they gave me a nasty blister my first time in them(which I guess is normal for a new shoe, hopefully it will be better next time.) Anyway just curious to know what you guys run in, and what works for you and why :)

Update: The Brooks shoes are wonderful! Just enough cushion and stability, and they’re not heavy or bulky at all. I tried to run in the Asics again, and another blister just on a different part of my foot :( not sure about these ones.

Ps: I haven’t forgotten about your post, Ruthie, it’s coming.

    yay I found your blog. I heard about the header that looks like an Adidas add. Heh. Nice, I like it. I run in Puma shoes, they’re perfect, I’ve never had a blister or sore feet. xx

    Good for you - I hope you’ve been having a good time! I wish I could say what I run in, but I don’t have any cool input as I run in what I have. :D Is it super bad though?

    I run in a shoe called “The Lazy”. It’s produced by the Left Side of your Mind and it even comes with a simulated running course program that you use when you’re sitting on your behind. The program causes you to visualize yourself running without actually doing it. It’s loads of fun.
