Slooooow brain
Man, I am really dragging today. Technically speaking I’m healthy, but several little things aren’t quite right with my body. On last night’s run I managed to cultivate myself a meta-blister (that is, a blister on top of a blister), and I feel it every time I take a step. My running shoes are a little too big, but they’re still fairly new so I don’t want to go spend more money. I wear two pairs of socks and try to lace them up pretty tightly, but they still give me blisters. I usually wear a size 8 shoe, occasionally a 7.5, but when I tried these on, the 8s felt too small so I got an 8.5. MISTAKE. Apparently they stretched out.
But anyway, all is not lost. It’s Friday. I’m going to hang out with my cousins this weekend, which is always fun, and then on Sunday I have the last Christmas celebration of the season. It was hard to work out the schedule with that side of the family, so we’re finally getting it done. Which reminds me, I have some gift-wrapping to do.
I was hoping to go to a movie tonight, since the film Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic is playing, but I may have to wait until next week since there are things I need to get done tonight and I’m feeling kind of low-energy. I’m really glad it came to town, though; Sarah Silverman is my total hero.
Do you have a favorite running shoe? What kind of a pronator are you? Right now, I run on New Balance 718’s, but I don’t love them. I’m thinking about getting some Nike Shox.
I currently have some Sauconys, because I got those two pairs ago (my last pair was Nike somethingsomething) and I really liked them, but these are not so good. I don’t know the exact model, though.
I wondered when you said you were having problems with your knee if you’re a underpronator (supinator) running with the wrong shoes. Have you ever gotten that checked? I just don’t want you to get hurt trying to do something healthy. 🙂 I like your knees!
Thanks, Em. I have no idea what kind of -nator I am. I guess I just figured I was the Terminator or something. 😉
I’ve never been checked–where do you have that done? At a shoe store? A doctor?
Go to Running Wild on out the Coralville strip. They’ll tell you. And UI folks get a 10% discount.
Oh, cool. I always thought that was a rafting supply store or something.
i think the best running shoe is made by Adidas and also Nike*-‘
the best running shoes are always made of very resilient synthetic rubber~~*
running shoes made of synthetic rubber are great and some of them are water resistant too”‘,
adidas running shoes are the best in the world and i alway use them in cross country .
