Shoe finder part 2

My mission for the weekend was to find out what kind of running shoes I should wear.  Got the answer to that yesterday: stability shoes.  At the store I went to they only had Saucony, Brooks, Asics and Adidas.  I left with good info and no shoes.  I decided to look online and do more research on the other brands and also look for better prices.

I got a list of models from Mizuno and Nike and went to Dick's Sporting Goods to try as many as I can find there.  I also got a good tip from Chris K who told me about this great blog runblogger where the guy tests lots of shoes.  Thanks Chris.  On that website I found this place running warehouse.

So I tried several pairs of shoes, found one that is great for me I think, hard to know for sure without REALLY running with them for a while but they feel good.  Came back home and went to look on the running warehouse website and there they were:  on SALE! At the store they were $90 and online $45!!!!!!!! Free 1 day shipping and free return, cannot beat that.

So Tuesday these Mizuno should arrive at my door

and on Wednesday we will have a date for a few miles, let's hope we get along great!  I had not planned to go to the store again today and it took me an eternity to try all the shoes.  That included doing a little run in the store looking like a fool (of course I saw 2 families of kids I coached before!).  Once I was done it started to rain and time had run out.  We had a babysitter coming  at 1 pm to go catch a movie so I skipped my run but it is worth it if those shoes are THE ONES.

Went to see The Company Men and I highly recommend it.  It was excellent and all the actors are great in it.

Tuesday I get the results of my scan and once I know all is OK,  I will register for OC Half Marathon and Disneyland Half Marathon!
