Another day, another run. I needed to get a new pair of running shoes.  I was using just regular gym shoes without knowing any difference.  I read where Nike released a new running shoe for the overpronator (that’s me) and figured at $90 it was worth a shot.

I thought I would just hit footlocker on my way into the gym.  I should have known that it would have been a horrible mistake.  I was looking through the shoes for 20 minutes before anyone asked, and then when I was explaining the shoe he had no clue.  I figured I might as well take a shot and drive over to Dick’s.  Fortunately, they had it there.  It was displayed with the Runner’s World Pick of the Month emblem.  The person who assisted me was knowledgble and helped me choose the right size.

The shoe is the Nike Air Structure Triax 10 and it was an amazing difference from the old gym shoes.  It was amazing to run in.  I was able to keep a decent pace, my feet did not kill me and it was appropriately padded.  It helped with keeping my running stable as I was on the treadmill. I definately recommend these shoes for anyone interested in running who may have a few extra pounds to loose in the process.

My run was shorter this time just 3k to get my endurance up. I did quite well as you can see below:

Right now, I am just doing some laundry and checked a grade for a reflection paper. Nothing major, just relaxing after the good run.
