New shoes from a new store!
I did it - I broke down and got some new shoes today. Even with switching out my insoles, I was still having a lot of foot pain. Better, but still there. And last week that back twinge started coming back. So I just couldn't wait anymore.
We have a new running store on El Cajon Blvd! http://www.milestonerunning.com/ So I went to check them out. Turns out they have a 30 day "wear em/love em" guarantee. Which is so great. I'm always wary about buying shoes away from RoadRunner because, in the past, I've been burned when the shoe didn't work out. So I got my first ever pair of Brooks. They are called PureCodence. No clue what that means! I'm going to try them without orthotics first. They are light, very squishy, and have a darn decent arch.
I ran at the gym today because it was so hot by the time I was ready to go. Did a 5k on the treadmill, 5% incline/6.0 pace. I'm really anxious to see how my feet feel tomorrow!
I've been listening to another really good book (The Golden Compass). Made the 3 miles go quickly!

Glad to hear about the new shoes and the new store. I'll be anxious to check it out when I come.
But look at you! 3 miles at 5% and 6.0? You're a demon! That is great!
My groin feels better again this morning so I am getting hopeful. Will continue to use the heating pad about 3 times today and still taking 2 Ibuprofen as needed. I hope to be on the road Tuesday morning for 3 and see how it is.
I meant .5! What a typo!
I'm glad you're feeling better - hopefully you'll be good to go when you run Tuesday.
I'm kinda at a loss of what to do here today. It's already 80 and I think a long run would just destroy me in this heat.
I'm still impressed!
