On Monday, I went to a local running store in the Mystic Village to get a new pair of running shoes. The current pair I had, Brooks Glycerine, seemed to not be doing the job I was hoping. My two toes were (and still are) bruised under the toenail. I knew something had to give and I just bit the bullet bought a pair of Asics Kayano 19s. It was on the urging of a fellow runner to go with Asics. He swore by them and when I went to the running store, they told me that they probably would be my best bet for a new pair of shoes. Since my ankles are so bad, I need something that will help with that and give me the support I need in my foot and toes. I was told by the guy helping me to run on a treadmill the first time to see if that's what I really needed. If not, he'd help me with another one.
The problem that I have is that my feet are too big. My right foot measured at a size 12 and my left foot measured at a size 12.5. I didn't realize that my feet were so weird. But I guess they are. So the only option for me is to wear a size 13 so there is enough toe room in my shoe to not constantly bang on the front. After I got home on Monday, I had to prepare myself for the treadmill.
See, I really feel the treadmill is a tool made by the devil. There is no way any person would want to put someone through so much physical pain as to stay in one spot and run for a specific amount of time. Especially when I have to run on them on my 5 mile day. It's just agony. But! I made it through thanks to FX showing Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It made 5 miles doable.
Today I ran with them on the road and absolutely loved them. I think I found my shoes.
