At the end of January I decided that it was time to invest in some new running shoes. My old ones weren't completely run down, but I figured it was better to change them sooner rather than later. The roomie and I went down to the Road Runners store in Carytown one Friday. It was a little weird because I like to think that no one sees me when I'm running. I had to run back and forth in the store numerous times so that the associate could gage my running style and to make sure I liked the shoes. I ended up with a pair of Brooks Defyance 3. I'd never worn a pair of Brooks before and I'll admit I was a tad bit hesitant. I actually just wanted to purchase another pair of Nike Pegasus but I wanted to know my running style.
The first time I ran in my new shoes I felt a little awkward. The shoes were kind of heavy and I felt like I had to work really hard just to get my feet up. It was raining and water kept getting into the shoes. By the time I got home I just wanted to get the shoes off. I have only worn the shoes 4 times so far. I really don't like them! They don't make me happy. they don't make me want to run, and I don't like the way they look. I'm seriously thinking about selling them and getting another pair of Pegasus(which happens to be the best shoes for overpronators like me).
