Picked up some new shoes on sale for like $50 from Running Warehouse. They feel pretty luxurious on my feet while walking around the house. I’ve never tried Mizuno shoes before but I wanted to try something other than Brooks with all the shin splint problems I’ve had. They say the shoe is for mild to moderate overpronators, which is me. I wasn’t quite expecting the gap in the midsole of the shoe, above the wave plate. It looks interesting. Mizuno shoes seem to be pretty well regarded, so I’m looking forward to trying them out.
I also bought an Amphipod handheld water bottle to take on my medium – long runs, especially as the temps rise. I like being able to drink when I’m thirsty, but have decided I don’t like the hydration belt and the backpack is too big for things under 10 miles or so. The hand strap feels very secure and soft against my skin.
