I went to a local shoe store last week to find out which shoe is right for me. I was having a little bit of heel and calf pain on the right side during my last run or two and I was pretty sure it was time for new shoes. Turns out I was tweaking my foot a bit and that's what happened. The lady there was really nice and she gave me a bunch of options to choose from. I ended up going with Mizuno's Wave Creation 11....a.k.a nice kicks!
My neighbor Jodie came over the other night to keep an eye on Eli so I could test them out. They are definitely heavier than my old shoes, but they feel more snug and my foot feels more controlled inside. The extra spring on the bottom heel is nice. I'll get used to the weight eventually, but I think it's slowing me down a bit right now.
My 5k race is approaching soon. I am planning to do my first long run this weekend, well the longest I've ever gone, which will be 5 miles. I hope I can pace myself and make it the whole distance. Then next week I'll only run on Tuesday and Thursday so I can rest on Friday before the race Saturday.
