The reason I injured my foot 2 weeks ago is because I have been running in a pair of 3 year-old Nike Air Max with blown air soles.  So somebody recommended me to FrontRunner on Lane Avenue near OSU campus.  They actually watch you walk and measure the shape of your foot and then have you try on shoes based on the shape and function of your foot.  It was cool stuff.

So I went in Monday and tried on 8 pairs of shoes.  But I finally found a pair that feels really, really good.  They are Saucony Triumphs.

Man they felt nice to run in yesterday.  I only had a small blister on the back of my heel.  The salesman at Frontrunner told me that you are never supposed to run a long race in a pair of new shoes (which I know).  He advised me not to run on Saturday.  But I can’t run in my old shoes.  That would mess up my feet more.  So I had to get a new pair.  I am wearing them non-stop until the race to break them in.
