A nice jog around the same place as on Thanksgiving day. My friend Livestrongrrrrl is in town so we ran together! A bit chilly but I wanted to see how I felt in shorts, and I warmed up about the time I finished :-) We started around 4:30 so it was dark by the time we finished.

I almost forgot: I got new shoes today at the Seattle Running Company in Capital Hill. They taped me while I ran on the treadmill both bare feet and in the new shoes. I went one size up to 10.5 (I normally wear 9.5) and was also recommended buying ones with more support in the back. The reason is that I have low/medium arches. So the shoes I got, Mizuno Alchemy 5, are built for moderate overpronators and are considered stability shoes. Here's a description I found on another Web site:

Perfect Blend of Motion Control & Cushion Plus New Open Cell Mesh Upper!
Solid and blown rubber forefoot adds flexibility and durability
Wave Technology gives great heel-to-toe transition
More open cell mesh for cool running

Best for runners with a medium build and low to medium arches.

The last line matches me perfectly so hopefully these will work out. BTW, Livestrongrrrrl got other shoes for herself, which I'm sure she'll write in her blog soon.

Total: 2.45mi Run
