I love the spring. Partly because I usually pick up a new pair of running shoes and start thinking about the Columbus Half-Marathon race.

I took a trip down to FrontRunner last week to scope out the 2007 offering of running shoes. My parents, Joanna’s parents, and both my sister-in-laws got me gift certificates there to pick up a new pair of kicks (thanks everyone!). I love FrontRunner because everyone there is enthusiastic about running. They all do it. I will go to FrontRunner every time for shoes because of the service and love for the product. They don’t just want to sell you shoes, they want to help you love to run.

After trying on about six pairs, I picked a pair of New Balance. These are an extra-cushioned (I’m a bigger guy), neutral shoe. They feel great. As soon as I put them on, I knew they were “it.”

I’ve put about 15 miles on them so far and they are probably the best shoes I have owned.
