I have decided to try a new pair of running shoes to see if a little more support will take care of the ankle pains I am having, so I purchased Mizzuno’s Wave Rider 12. It was not easy to abandon a newly purchased pair of running shoes–these items are not cheap, but in the interest of injury prevention Sara helped me rationalize the need to try something else.
I have sent an e-mail to the Kahru company to see if they offer any kind of return on the shoes–I’ll let you know if I hear anything from them. I think they are good shoes and my left is totally fine but my right does slightly pronate and the Kahru Fluid ride is truly a neutral shoe with no arch support–so the high arches and slight pronation on my right foot were amplifying in the Kahru’s.
I am falling a little behind on the marathon mileage but hopefully the shoe change helps solve the ankle issue and this possible ongoing cold goes away so I can get back on track.
Other exciting news: We just bought Sara a road bike today, we purchased a Fuji Team Carbon bike from Performance bikes in Rockville. We got the bike at over 50% off the original MSRP, which made the deal way too sweet to pass on. She doesn’t have race pedals and shoes yet, we’ll get those closer to the summer once she is comfortable riding again. We are picking the bike up tomorrow and heading out for our first ride as a couple–I’m stoked!
