Thanks to all of your advice on getting new shoes. I went with Run to the Border Blogger, Jesse's suggestion and videotaped myself running on the treadmill and sent it in to the Runningwarehouse.com for an analysis. Turns out that I was not a neutral runner anymore or maybe never? The running warehouse said that they notice over-pronation in my stride and that I needed a maximum support shoe. I ended up purchasing the Brooks Trance 9 and I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival. The running warehouse is a cool site with really good prices, and they offer free two-day shipping. I'm excited to try them out!!! Thanks to Jesse for the great tip! Maybe my knees will feel a little better!
I also put up a pic of me from St. Patty's Day, yes, that's a shot of Jamison, BUT I'm too chicken nowadays to drink it all at once, I usually sip it with my Guinness, I know I'm lame!!
I love Brooks... I wear Adrenaline.
ReplyDeleteBrooks and Adrenaline for me too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my Brooks Adrenaline - the total go to shoe for me. I hope the Trance work well for you! And good job putting in the effort to get a shoe that really fits - when I finally did that it totally changed and helped my running! I hope it makes yours stronger and more enjoyable, too!
ReplyDeleteLAME?? With Jameson? No way! ANY way you take Jameson I give you props! Good luck with the shoes, when I got my new ones they made a HUGE difference.
ReplyDeletegotta love new shoes!! I love my Brooks Adrenalines!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind in blog reading, but I hope the new shoes are working out well for you. Brooks makes a great product, and they are one of the more environmentally-conscious companies out there.
