Who doesn't like getting new shoes. My running shoes are 9 months old and I figured I needed new ones. After searching http://www.roadrunnersports.com for the right running shoe for me, and getting email advice from Fleet Feet, I had a list of shoes to try on.
Size 11 shoes and Guam do not mix. The Foot Locker and Goody's only get in 1 pair! They had a couple of the shoes I wanted to try on, but not in my size. I finally ended up back at the Navy Exchange.
I couldn't decide between the Asics Gel Nimbus VIII and the Adidas Adistar Cushion 5. I liked them both for different reasons. The Asics fit like a glove and the cushioning on the Adidas was amazing. Get this....my husband let me get them BOTH!!! He said to let it be incentive to stick with my diet and running plan. I was so excited!
So, now I have 2 pair I can rotate :) I am HOPING that some of my leg pain is associated with my 9 month old shoes. (Which, for the record, are the right type of shoes for my feet.)
Day 13
---------------
Complete Rest Day
I may have to take one more rest day. My legs were hurting today even walking up the stairs.

I love the Asics Gel Nimbus and I alternate them with the Asics Cumulus. Great shoes, you'll love them! I'll have to try the Adidas some time soon.
I use Asics to run, too. I thought of buying Adidas they often do not come in wide sizes.
Anyways, Congrats on your new shoes and remember...
DON'T BE AFRAID TO REST!!! LOL
