Since I've started running, I have come to understand that one of, if not that most important thing needed is a great pair of running shoes. For my 1/2 marathon training I was fitted in a pair of Asics GT-2150s, and while I didn't LOVE the color (Pink! And it really is ALL about the color and look for me ;) ) I loved how lightweight and sturdy they were and from that point forward, I was hooked! They are such fantastic sneakers, how could I not go back to them for my marathon replacement?
I've read many articles and they say you should run in your shoes for anywhere from 300-500 miles before replacing them. I did the math and realized I am at about 300 in my 1/2 marathon shoes, so its time to break in a new pair. I bought the beautiful Asics Kayano 16 in blue (my fav color!) shown above. My plan is to slowly break these in, while using my other Asics, the 2150's for my short distance runs during the week. That way, when it comes time for my marathon, I will have plenty of miles left on my Kayano's for the race and they should be super comfy!
So far, so good with the new shoes. Good news is, I have 60 days to try them out and return them if I don't love them...what a deal, right?
