I decided that, although I’m no trained athlete, the idea of trying to start a running program in sneakers that hurt one’s feet didn’t seem like the best strategy for success. Got me some new ones today!
One’s choices are somewhat limited when shopping in the upper range of sizes; I saw some adorable shiny purple sneakers, but they didn’t come close to my foot size. For some reason, I actually fit into a size smaller in the shoes I got than the size I normally wear, which is a good thing, or else I couldn’t have got these, either.
Real running shoes are awesome. I feel like I could run forever in these!
