Yup it is that time again. I actually bought some new shoes a few months ago....and hated them. My knees hurt pretty bad and I rubbed through the heel already. I have had my feet checked in the past and been told New Balance was the way to go....I followed my Brother's and Sis-in-law's advice and had my gait tested today. As you all know my ankles have been an issue in the past.( Ok maybe more than an issue, when a pebble instills fear it is more than an issue.) I have been told by many that maybe running is not the thing for me. Since I have been running, however my ankles have become a lot stronger, these shoes will add to my new found stability. I went for a run this evening, and actuall want to go again. I did not realize how my shoes were affecting me. Lesson Learned!

Brooks, woo hoo! Brian's favorite!! And does that say MO Go on the side little round thingy?? : ) Glad you had a gait analysis....finally!! It really does make a difference. Have some great runs this weekend! 49.5 days.... : )
Henry and I recently made a trip to South Sound Running in downtown Tacoma. It was soooo worth it. They watch you walk back and forth in your current shoes and then based on your gait start pulling out several different pairs of shoes they think will work best, have you try them on and walk back and forth. I have fasicitis(sp?) in my right foot pretty bad and guess what? My shoes were just making it so much worse. Got some new ones with much better support and it made a world of difference! I wish I'd done it years ago.
