Shoes...Glorious Shoes

Saucony Triumph 7

Well the time has come...the music is downloaded, the app is purchased, and the sneakers are now in my possession. What a fun time that was, I tried on 6 pairs of running shoes, all of them over $120. Now I haven't spent $100 on sneakers since HS when we had to own a pair of Nike Air whatever in order to fit in. I never played a minute of basketball in school, but I owned an impressive fleet of Jordans and Reebok Pump sneakers.

Now I own the Cadillac of running shoes, designed with the heavier runner in mind. When I say "heavier" I learned heavy in the running world means anyone weighing more than 180lbs. 

 The guys over at Inside Track are great, very knowledgeable, and they didn't try to sell me on a bunch of stuff I couldn't use. So if your in Lancaster and need a pair of running shoes and you have no idea what pronate means, head over there. 

I will post my daily training log, if you want to follow along and join me, Pam will begin posting her log as well. I have been working out for the past several months so most of the beginning stuff will be very easy, but I am going to follow the regimen exactly. The swim and bike training is designed to have me Sprint Tri ready in 22 weeks, the couch to 5k is a 9 week program. My goal is to be ready to run my first 5k in December (Jingle Bell 5k).
