NEW RUNNING SHOES!

Went to shoe clinic today! They had me run on treadmill and looked at my footprint and discussed my knee problem with me.. and even though I wanted super cool-looking shoes, I ended up with some that are perfect for my feet and knees! I was wearing shoes that are waaaaay too small for the width of my foot, and he said that running in my netball shoes has probably not helped the issue.




The new ones are really very ugly lol but they are for a purpose, not for a fashion show! If they make me run faster and longer than someone else who's wearing shoes they think look cool, then fantastic, and if they mean my knees and hips won't hurt, then even better!!! They were pretty expensive, but the guy was super helpful and knowledgeable so I was happy to give him a sale. I got some advice on Netball shoes too, but might buy them elsewhere cos this pair was $250, and the netball shoes he suggested are $260. I wish I could tell you about them... but all I know is that the heel is super supportive for netballers and especially shooters (like me), and will survive indoor and outdoor courts. And they're pink! lol Netball season starts April 14th! Can't wait!

Also, my run was choice as today. 3.6km, no breathing issues, and I did the strength training as well. Great day! I'm shattered. Looking forward to trying out my new shoes!
