Anyway, I ran out over lunch today and picked up some new shoes. I tried on Mizunos, Asics, Nike and Saucony. I've been running in Asics and Nike the past few months but decided to go with Asics and Saucony this time around. I like to have 2 different pairs to alternate with each run. I've never worn Saucony before and I'm so excited to test them out tomorrow. As for the Asics, I went with the same style that I've been running in since last Spring. I wanted to try something else, but they are familiar and I know they work well for me. Here's a picture of my new babies...can't wait to start adding up their mileage.
Saucony Progrid Guide 2 and Asics GT-2140
Ran 6 miles this morning and felt great. I'm planning on running another 4 tomorrow, lifting on Wednesday, cross training Thursday, and a 12 mile run on Friday. Saturday I'm running the Frostbite 5 miler so I'm getting my long run in a day early this week.

YAY for new shoes!!!
Gotta love new shoes!
I love me some new tennies. I hope they work great for you.
Hooray new shoes! Hope they treat you well.
New shoe fever is hitting the blogsphere! I think I will get a second pair this time to avoid the stupidy of what happened this time. I had Saucony progrid paramounts and I loved them, fav shoe thus far. Let us know how they work out for you.
Yay for new shoes! I am actually still in the Asics GT-2120s since I bough 3 pairs when they introduced the 2140s and marked down last year's model!
new shoes are always fun! Hope they work out!
OOOH, I love new shoes!! Have fun putting the miles on those babies!
I've heard it's a good idea to rotate two pairs of shoes because the cushioning takes 24+ hours to get back to normal. Enjoy your new ones!
i have the asics and love them. where in pa do you live? I live in PA too
I used to love my Saucony's. I switched to Asics though after I had some IT band issues.
Have fun at the Frostbite. We're trying to save some cash right now so we wont be doing any new races for a bit. Booo...
I LOVE the 2100 series also.
Love everything about new shoes...have fun with them. Hope you run many miles in them!
I love asics and in the past year started wearing saucony's. Recently I started having IT band problems and switched back to my asics for running but still love my saucony's to work in (12 hour shifts at the hospital)! I love new shoes!!
I have those same Asics and I've been happy with them! I'd like to try the Saucony sometime. Let us know how they work out for you!
Breaking in new shoes is great right!? I have only done it twice but hey I'm still rookie!...lol I will be looking to meet you face to face at the Frost Bite this weekend. Keep up the good work.
Oooh, let us know how you like the 2140s. I think that's my next one.
