My awesome mom is going to be buying me some actual running shoes Friday and I didn't know where to go to have some fitted. Well, I discovered that my not so little town actually has a running store downtown and I couldn't wait to check it out. Liam and I went today so I could get them fitted and what not but I had to put them on hold until Friday. Bummer. Buuuut, I found the most perfect shoes.
They're Brooks and I love them! I'm not sure if this is the exact shoe because I found them on Google images but the ones I put on hold look very similar to these ones.
The guy had me walk back and forth and he measured my foot and what not. He had me try a bunch of different shoes. Nike (which was my 2nd fave), Saucony, New Balance. I also liked the New Balance but the Brooks were just the most comfortable one. I was instantly in love. He let me walk around the block with them haha. My journey to becoming a runner is underway!
Later in the day, my mom babysat fro me so I could train a little for the 5k without Liam. I don't know if I am jogging farther but the app on my phone is still recording a longer distance. Today it said 6.5 km. And I apparently burned 432 calories. Wha??!! Awesome! I also PR'd today! By 1 minute haha. But I'm getting faster! :D
Did I ever mention how excited I am for my 1st 5K?!?!? :)
