Sooo originally another reason why I chose running was... its free! Yes I was being cheap. At the time my logic was: How can I get in shape without joining a local gym? Little did I know that running shoes are a big investment if you are really serious about putting in serious mileage.
Every runner needs a good pair of shoes. I got my new kicks last week :-) Here is a photo. Disclaimer: Good running shoes are not cheap. I think my mom thought I was crazy last year when I bought my first pair.
I went to a local specialty running store. These types of stores are great because they watch you run, size you appropriately and recommend shoes that are best for your foot.
Brand: Mizuno
Cost: $100
These shoes have already made a difference. A few weeks ago when I started back to my running grind I started having pain in my achilles tendon and soreness in my shin after running. These have made all the difference and I purchased insoles as well.
