<---- See those babies. Those are my new running shoes. (Yes, I know that they are not yellow....more on that in a minute.) Funny thing about these new shoes. They are pretty much the same shoes that I had, only purple. Seems as though my old shoes may have just died of old age. It happens. Now I have the new and improved model. They are a size bigger than my old shoes. Apparently three children have made my big feet even bigger. (Thanks guys!) I took them out for a test drive this afternoon. They felt good on my feet - like I was landing on a cloud. That is, until my toes started to fall asleep about 1 1/2 miles in. The running store lady said that I should put 300-500 miles on these shoes before I buy new ones. She also suggested some new shoes just before the race. Guess I'm going to have to see how long it takes to break this pair in so I know how far in advance I need to buy the new ones.
So, you may have noticed that these shoes are not the butter yellow shoes of my Belle dreams. They are more Tangled purple. I am not sure what to do about this situation. I will now have to consider a new costume. I'll get back to you on that.
Anyway, back to the shoes. I felt fast while I was running. I upped my running interval to 2 minutes 15 seconds. It felt good. I got back and looked at my time and realized that my shoes lied. I was slow. I'm a little disappointed in that because the run felt so good. But, it's done and I will do it again on Thursday.
Today's Stats:
2 minute 15 seconds running intervals, 1 minute walking interval
2.58 miles in 32.33 minutes (12.5 minute mile)
I had a pair of shoes that made my toes tingle. Not a great feeling. Fiddle with your lacing and see if that helps at all. If they still keep falling asleep after a few runs, go back to the running store. Good job upping your interval :)
