Tools for my half-marathon: Shoes

It's almost race time. My mind is filled with excitement and anxiety at the race, but I know it will be a great accomplishment. I'm so grateful to my family for encouraging me and supporting me as I try to do something I have never done before. I'm grateful for husband (awesome and amazing man) putting up with my running and training. He is a treasure!

My next piece of equipment is shoes. These are what I've trained in. You can find them here, but I did not pay that price for them. I got mine from DSW and paid much less. I'm cheap when it comes to running shoes. I know I shouldn't be; however, these are by far, my favorite shoe. I think I'm an Asics fan for life now.

I'm hesitant to run in them because they now have well over 500 miles on them. I can certainly feel it in my joints that the cushioning is gone, but since it's so close I hesitate to get another pair that need to be broken in. Rookie mistake?

So far, I'm a big fan of the Asics shoes. They are absolutely perfect for my feet.

Happy running!
