So I finally got some running shoes last night. I tried on a gazillion pairs and ended up buying the first pair I tried on. They were supportive and my feet felt great during my in-store test. I was really excited to test them out, so I went for a 2+ mile test walk. About 1 mile in, after my feet settled a bit more into my shoes, I noticed the left shoe was rubbing my ankle bone. By the time I got back to my car, it was pretty bad. I tried them on today with new inserts, but it was still rubbing. I was ready to burst into tears this morning. Discouraged about my running progress, I finally get shoes and they hurt, convinced that there was NO way I'd be able to return them (used), and that I'd be stuck with shoes I couldn't wear. I decided to call and find out the return policy before I let myself completely freak out. Of course, I can take them back. Deep breath. I'll try again :).

New Shoes! - plus i kicked ass today
i got a new pair - mizunis - they're nice - from the runner's high in menlo.
i did 3 miles today - in 51 min!!
my fav thing to do after my run is to use the ruler on google earth and figure out how far i went!
i was feeling kinda crappy after tho - that'll teach me for going out at noon in the sun.
the first .5 was a total bitch, but then i got in a groove which lasted until i was almost back...
going to chicago tomorrow, bringing shoes with.
