Here are my new running sneaks! I got a 20% off discount with an unscrupulous flash of my student ID (10%) and the woman was so proud of me for having done my first race she gave me another 10% off!!! I am officially sporting my first pair of non-Nike kicks! I got a pair of Asics GT-2150s in “Lightning/Paradise Pink/Lemon” (interesting color scheme). I was told that I pronate when I run (basically I land on the outside of my foot and then roll to the inside… which is why I’ve been having sore knees and that mysterious hamstring pain!!!). These shoes are made for runners like me and have tons of support around my arch so I don’t roll my foot in. I thought it was bad when she stopped me 5 steps into my test run and told me I was a pronator! I felt almost ashamed, like “Oh gosh now you KNOW I’m a terrible runner!” but then she told me she has the same problem and wears similar shoes. I’m wearing them now to get used to ‘em and to start breaking them in. Can’t wait to run with them tomorrow!!
