Did you know that you should only put about 400 miles on a pair of running shoes? Well, that is how I convince Marlene every time I tell her that I need a new pair. :) There are all different brands, but you have to find the one that is right for your foot. My foot prefers the "Asics: Nimbus."
The good news is that training is going very well. My miles per hour have gone from between 8.5/9 minute miles to just under 8 minutes at the present time. I no longer suffer from shin slints or stress fractures on my knee cap. And...if I wear bandaids on my nipples they don't bleed. I am still trying to figure out exactly why I want to run a marathon. Throughout my training cycle, Marlene has decided to make it her life goal NEVER to run one!! For some reason the up side to running out weighs the down side...I am already looking forward to Grandma's Marathon in the spring and I haven't even finished my first one yet.
